About Brandon

Founder, AI Engineer, and Predictive Marketing Pioneer

I'm Brandon Lincoln Hendricks, founder of Hendricks.AI, the first AI Prediction Marketing Agency. I've spent my career at the intersection of technology and marketing, building systems that don't just analyze the past but predict the future.

As the former Global Lead of Total Search at SolarWinds, I managed a $20M+ annual marketing budget and discovered a fundamental truth: even the most sophisticated marketing teams are essentially reactive, responding to demand after it appears. This realization led me to build Hendricks.AI, where we use AI to predict market demand 2-4 weeks before it materializes with 74% accuracy.

As one of the early beta testers for OpenAI's GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4, I gained unique insights into the potential of AI for predictive analytics. This early access allowed me to experiment with AI applications that weren't yet available to the broader market, ultimately leading to the development of our proprietary prediction system that processes 2.8 million signals daily.
