Case studies

Work that shipped.

Selected engagements from Laya Digital and real estate data analytics — the problem, the work, the receipts.

Travel · AI Automation

An AI concierge that handles intake, quotes, and follow-ups

Client · Boutique Travel Agency
Problem

The founder was the bottleneck for every inquiry — manually replying to DMs, drafting itineraries, and chasing payments.

Work

Built an AI automation layer across intake, trip personalization, quote generation, and payment follow-ups — all synced to her CRM and calendar.

Result
  • Response time dropped from 6 hrs to under 5 min
  • 30+ inquiry hours reclaimed per week
  • Booking close rate up 40%
Real Estate · Agentic Workflows

Agentic workflows that qualify leads while she shows homes

Client · Independent Real Estate Agent
Problem

Leads came in faster than she could respond; hot buyers cooled off and listings sat without follow-up.

Work

Deployed an agentic system that instantly replies, qualifies intent, schedules showings, and drafts personalized nurture sequences — integrated with her MLS and calendar.

Result
  • Lead response time: under 2 minutes, 24/7
  • Showing appointments up 3× in 60 days
  • Closed 2 listings from old cold leads via re-engagement
Skincare · Social Strategy & Paid Creative

Social strategy and ad creatives that moved product

Client · Clean Beauty Skincare Brand
Problem

Posting daily but seeing flat sales; ad creative fatigue was driving up CAC and killing ROAS.

Work

Designed a content system, shot fresh ad creatives, and rebuilt paid social around a testing cadence — hook variations, UGC-style assets, and retargeting flows.

Result
  • ROAS improved from 1.8× to 4.2× in 8 weeks
  • Revenue from paid social up 210%
  • Follower growth of 18K with higher engagement quality
