Building the operating system large marketing operations were missing

Marketing operations at large brands and agencies run on a growing stack of disconnected tools. Context degrades every time a brief changes hands, and one campaign still takes weeks.

"The problem was never the tools," says Marco Mendoza, CEO and founder of Hi Luca. "The problem is that nobody built the system that makes them work as one."

Hi Luca is a MarTech company building the Marketing Operating System for the AI era: one platform where large marketing operations load their brand, products, and buyer personas, launch campaigns, optimize them, and lower the cost of every decision.

Early experiments with large language model prompts were unreliable. "At the beginning we believed the problem was speed," Mendoza explains. "But it was not speed, it was context." Small, specialized agents sharing one brand memory solved it. Taking them to production at enterprise scale required security and governance, and Google Cloud with its Agent Development Kit made the path clear.

AI does not work without direction. You have to manage it, direct it, give it a north star so it delivers the right results. That is what Google Cloud made possible for us.

From brief to launch-ready campaign
in under four hours

On Google Cloud, the application and core backend run on Compute Engine and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), with BigQuery managing campaign and performance data. The agent layer, built on Gemini and the Agent Development Kit, orchestrates specialized agents for strategy, copy, creative, and validation.

A marketing team loads its brand context, products, and buyer personas once. The platform proposes campaign ideas, maps audiences to real Google and Meta Ads segments, assembles validated creative variations, and delivers the campaign to Meta Ads Manager as a paused draft ready for approval.

A campaign that took three to four weeks and five to seven people now launches in under four hours with one orchestrator, at a fraction of the cost. Hi Luca's own development cycle is 70% supported by AI, used to write requirements documents.

"The benefits our clients experience are speed, diversity, and cost," Mendoza explains. "They launch more campaigns, with more creative diversity, without adding headcount for every new brand."

An application layer for our users, a backend core process, and our agent system all run on Google Cloud, which gives us the flexibility to build each layer the right way and connect them into one stable system.

Governing a fleet of agents at enterprise scale

Hi Luca is building toward client operations that each invest from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars a year in paid media across multiple brands and markets, where every asset must meet the brand and legal standards of a global company.

"We believe Google is the real leader in scalable agent development," Mendoza notes. "We need a system that is stable, scalable, and secure."

The capability he values most is agent governance: monitoring agents in real time and keeping outputs within defined boundaries, so every campaign is traceable from agent to approver. Our most recent launch is Luca Guide, an optimization layer that reads performance from BigQuery and feeds learnings back into the builder.

Having the ability to monitor agents, we can be sure they are using and accessing the right information. That is what lets us take agents to production with the governance our clients demand.
