## About AEstruct

AEstruct is an AI consultancy specializing in media and entertainment businesses. We've done the AI homework for M&E so studios, production companies, and content creators never have to start from scratch.

Founder: Emil Freund — 30 years leading M&E organizations through analog-to-digital and cloud migration transformations. AWS Certified AI Practitioner, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, Certified AI Governance Professional (AIGP), Certified SCRUM Master.

## The Hidden Crisis Behind the Content

We launched AEstruct because we saw an industry-wide problem that no one was addressing. You didn't become a creator to do paperwork.

- 91% of people across all M&E segments are using AI without a coherent strategy
- 52% of the people in the Creator Economy are experiencing burnout
- 37% of Creators are considering quitting!
- 46% of Creators' time is spent on content
- 54% of Creators' time is spent on admin

## Our Mission

AI Strategy for Makers Not Managers. We guide media business leaders and creators through the AI revolution with 30 years of M&E transformation expertise — turning disruption into opportunity with practical implementation strategies.
