Hi [Manager],

I want to enroll in the Cillex AI OpenAI Ads Fundamentals cohort starting [Date]. It is a six-week live program designed for performance marketers who already run paid media. Cost: $2,400.

Why this matters for [Company]:

  • OpenAI Ads is now self-serve. The platform went GA in May 2026 and crossed ~$100M annualized revenue in six weeks. Brands testing it report meaningfully lower CAC than paid-social baselines in many categories.
  • The playbook is still being written. There are no five-year veterans of this platform. Early specialists compound a permanent advantage.
  • Internal capability is cheaper than agency fees. A trained in-house specialist can run this for [Company] at a fraction of the cost of outsourcing — and faster.

The cohort is structured as live-only, twice-weekly, with a graded capstone using our own account. I will come out of it with a working OpenAI Ads program for [Company] and a roadmap for the next 90 days.

If approved, the invoice can go directly to [accounting email]. Reimbursement after completion is also fine if [Company] prefers that route.

Happy to talk through it in our next 1:1.

— [Your name]
