  • Elite Mentorship

    A real person on the other end while the deal is still warm — scope, pricing sanity, and the question you cannot answer yet.

Our students

What people say
about us

These are students of CEL Media's existing programs, not of Golden Thumbs, which is new and has no graduates yet. The instructor, the outreach method and the support are the same. Every clip is published on our own channel; every figure is the student's own words.

We help to create reliable relationships

Bringing businesses and
AI agencies together effortlessly

Golden Thumbs closes the gap between the company that knows it needs AI work and the agency that can actually deliver it. You find the opportunity. We scope it, place it, and stand behind the close.

Cutting-edge tools for the modern broker

Seamless deal-closing:
from a cold name to money landed

One desk carries the whole loop. Find the business that needs AI, open the conversation, hand the build to an agency that has shipped it before, and get paid on the deal you brought.

Saw you're hiring two dispatchers. Most freight teams we work with cut quote turnaround from hours to minutes before they add headcount. Worth a look?

What is our business?

  • Expert Training

    Step-by-step guidance for finding, opening and running an AI deal — written for people with no technical background.

  • Broker Software

    Prospects, outreach, inbox, deals and earnings on one desk, so nothing about a live deal lives only in your head.

  • Mentor Access

    Experienced brokers who walk you through scope, pricing and the call you do not feel ready to take yet.

  • Agency Network

    You bring the requirement; we place it with a team that has already shipped that kind of build for someone else.

  • Live Deal Support

    A human answer on fit, scope and pricing while the deal is still warm. The thing students single out most is the speed of the reply.

  • A Checkable Record

    45,561 course comments and 241 recorded testimonials, published in full with the complaints left in.

How the deal works

You own the first two moves.
We carry the rest.

  1. 01

    Find the business that needs it

    Companies know they are behind on AI and have no idea who to call. You learn where those conversations already are, how to open one, and how to tell a real need from a curiosity.

  2. 02

    Put the right agency in the room

    The wrong match is the whole risk in this business. You bring the requirement to us and we place it with a team that has shipped that kind of work before.

  3. 03

    We stand behind the close

    Scoping, pricing sanity, the questions you cannot answer on the call yet — and the delivery itself. The client is dealing with an operating company, not a stranger with a laptop.

  4. 04

    You are paid on the deal you brought

    No payroll, no delivery risk, no tooling bill. Terms are set out in the program when enrollment opens — we do not publish an income figure and we do not promise one.

Frequently asked questions

Including the ones with an awkward answer. If something here is vague, it is because we do not know it yet — not because we are holding it back.

What does an AI agency broker actually do?

You sit between two parties. A business knows it needs AI work — a voice agent, a support assistant, an automation, a document system — and has no idea who to hire or what it should cost. An agency has the capability and wants the work. You find the opportunity, bring it to us, and stay the relationship through the deal. You do not build the software and you do not carry delivery.

Do I need technical or AI experience?

No. You need to understand what a business is trying to fix and roughly which kind of build fixes it — enough to hold a credible conversation and hand over an accurate brief. The technical depth sits with the delivering agency and with our team.

How is this different from just referring people?

A referral ends when you send the email. Here a company stands behind the close and the delivery: scoping help, pricing sanity, an agency roster we already know, and CEL Media's operating history in the room. That is the difference between passing on a name and running a deal.

What will I earn?

We do not publish an income figure and we will not promise one. You are paid on the deals you bring; exact terms are set out in the program when enrollment opens. The results on this page come from students of our existing education programs, are self-reported, are not independently verified, and are exceptional rather than typical.

Golden Thumbs is new. Why should I trust it?

Because you can check the company rather than the program. CEL Media has enrolled more than 80,000 students across 193 countries, and we publish the full record — 45,561 course comments, 241 recorded testimonials, and the complaints alongside the praise — at marcelfernandesreviews.com. Golden Thumbs is new and we say so everywhere on this page rather than borrowing credit it has not earned yet.

What does it cost, and how do I join?

Enrollment is not open yet, so there is nothing to buy on this page and no form to fill in. Price, terms and the intake process will be published here when it opens. If you are already in another CEL Media program, keep using the access you were given at purchase — Golden Thumbs does not change it.

How much time does it take?

Honestly: more than the testimonials imply, and it varies too much for us to give a weekly number we could stand behind. Across the 42 recorded wins the median time to a first result was five days — but those are the wins, hand-picked from thousands of students, which is exactly why an average would mislead. Treat this as work, not as a side effect of buying something.

We would rather say that than put a button here that does nothing. Price, terms and the intake process get published on this page when Golden Thumbs opens. Until then, check the company for yourself — the good and the bad are both on the record.
