We're ensuring brands do not have to choose between growth and trust. They can have both by growing together in moments customers already trust.

Our Purpose


The Old World


For years, brands have had two main ways to grow: paid advertising and partnerships.


Paid advertising could deliver scale quickly—but that playbook is under strain. Attention costs more every year, customers have learned to tune out, and the more brands push, the more they risk eroding the trust they've worked so hard to build.


Partnerships have always been the obvious alternative. The idea makes sense: find a complementary brand, create something together, everybody benefits. But the way partnerships usually work is exhausting. Endless coordination, approvals, judgment calls. Teams constantly asking: Is this on brand? Is it relevant? What's the risk if it goes wrong? And it rarely scales. Every partnership feels like a one-off project. A lot of the value disappears into the effort of just making it happen.


The New World


So what would it look like if partnerships could scale—with relevance, without the manual coordination, and without compromising trust?


That's what Co-Marketing-as-a-Service changes.



CMaaS turns partnerships from one-off projects into infrastructure—repeatable, measurable, and safe. Instead of forcing customers to notice brands through more ad spend, brands focus on intelligently curated brand-to-brand partnerships that add value in moments customers already trust: confirmations, updates, and alerts. It fits the moment. It feels natural and earned—not like the interruption and noise customers are increasingly rejecting.


The breakthrough is AI. Not in a flashy way—in a practical way. It understands context, matches value to the moment, and applies the same guardrails consistently. Brands aren't guessing. They aren't interrupting. They're building growth on relevance and trust, at scale.

Jamal D. Hamidu

Founder - Barika Intelligence


I built Barika to pioneer Co-Marketing-as-a-Service (CMaaS)—an AI-powered, on-demand model for brand-to-brand partnerships at scale. By rewarding customers during trusted moments like confirmations and alerts, we use intelligent automation to replace the friction of traditional advertising with genuine value.


My background lies in solving systems challenges for global institutions where trust and execution are non-negotiable. Following my start in Management Consulting at EY, I led transformation initiatives at Deutsche Bank and AstraZeneca, learning that sustainable growth is a systems challenge, not a volume challenge.


I am also the author of Realistic Optimism, which explores the intersection of AI adoption and human trust. My core belief is that the greatest threat in AI isn’t the technology, but how we choose to adopt it; Barika is the manifestation of my commitment to using AI to strengthen trust, not spend it.
