I kept seeing the same problem: teams with great tools that didn't talk to each other. So I started fixing that.
11 years building marketing automation for companies that don't have time for slide decks.
Michael Sylvester spent 11 years as a marketing automation architect, most recently building email and SMS infrastructure for multiple businesses. Now he's focused on CirclStdio and TextSynth - helping teams ship systems that actually run.

Quick answers to common questions.
CirclStdio is The Circle Studios LLC — a Las Vegas-based consultancy with 11+ years of experience in marketing automation and AI integration. We've shipped 40+ implementations for automotive groups, SaaS companies, field service teams, and more.
Short for Circle Studios. The circle represents connected systems, your tools, your data, your team, all working together. The studio part reflects how we work: hands-on, building real things, not just advising from the sidelines.
We started in automotive marketing, building systems for dealership groups that needed fast lead response and airtight CRM workflows. That expanded into SaaS, field service, and any industry with complex software and manual bottlenecks.
Both. We've worked with 5-person field service shops and 400-employee dealership groups. What matters isn't size, it's whether you have real automation problems worth solving.
Neither. Agencies advise and manage campaigns. Dev shops build custom software. We're in between, we implement systems using existing platforms, connect them with AI and automation, and make sure they actually get used.
Las Vegas, but most of our work is remote. We've worked with companies across the US, Canada, and internationally. As long as timezones overlap enough for calls, we're good.
CirclStdio is the consulting arm, custom automation builds for your business. TextSynth is our product, an SMS-based AI tool that lets teams control their software via text. Same team, different offerings.
Because we've done this 120+ times. We've built systems that serve 10M+ customers. We don't take projects we can't deliver, and we don't disappear after launch. References available on request.
