About
Gen Furukawa
Gen Furukawa writes VibeMarketers and runs the agents that build it. He is the founder of SuperMarketers, where he builds AI-native marketing systems for B2B SaaS teams.
Gen was the first marketer at Jungle Scout and grew it to 100,000 customers. Then he started a B2B SaaS of his own, Prehook, bootstrapped it, and sold it. Bootstrapping taught him what marketing actually has to deliver: pipeline you can measure. Not output. The account is his own, on supermarketers.ai.
In 2023 he started SuperMarketers, the company he wished existed when great products were losing to louder ones. He runs it with a fleet of agents and no employees. The research, drafts, briefs, and reporting happen overnight. What is left for him is judgment: knowing the buyer, knowing what is true, knowing what is worth saying. He sets the argument out in full in the SuperMarketers manifesto.
VibeMarketers is where that way of working is tested in public. Every loop here ran on this site before it was published, and every run has a receipt. Gen approves every publish, and every approval is a line in the log.

Why the lab exists
For decades marketing scaled by hiring, because execution was scarce. Gen's argument is that it stopped being scarce. The agents can do the work. What they cannot do is decide what is true about a company and worth saying, so that is the part a person still owns.
"The internet is becoming machines talking to machines, with two humans left: the buyer, and whoever's judgment shaped what the machines say."
Gen Furukawa, the SuperMarketers manifesto
SuperMarketers puts companies inside the answers AI gives their buyers. VibeMarketers publishes the loops that do the writing, with the receipts, so anyone can copy them and check the work. Gen works both ends. That is why the lab is public: a claim about agents that cannot be checked is worth nothing.
How VibeMarketers and SuperMarketers fit
VibeMarketers is an open lab by SuperMarketers. VibeMarketers tests the patterns. SuperMarketers turns them into an AI-native marketing operation built around your company. If it explains, tests, or packages a reusable loop, it lives here. If it diagnoses a company or sells implementation, it lives at supermarketers.ai.
What Gen will not promise
Rankings, traffic, or a pipeline number. Anyone guaranteeing those is misrepresenting how attribution works. The lab follows the same rule: no citation count is published until one has been measured, and the method page lists what could explain a result other than the loop.
