Ep. 133 How Fluency Is Automating AdOps Without Replacing Human Creativity with Eric Mayhew
Eric Mayhew, Chief Innovation Officer and Co-Founder of Fluency, shares how his experience in automotive advertising inspired the creation of Fluency and its mission to eliminate repetitive AdOps work through automation.
