AI adoption is accelerating across marketing teams—but the biggest challenge may not be technology. It may be people.

In this episode of MarketingEDGE, we explore the widening gap between organizations that are building real AI capability and those still unsure how to approach the shift. As AI tools move beyond simple assistants into more complex systems, marketing leaders are confronting a critical question: how do you prepare teams for a future that’s evolving faster than traditional training models?

This episode examines how organizations are approaching AI upskilling, experimentation, and leadership alignment as they navigate one of the most significant shifts marketing has experienced in decades.

Trust is eroding. Buyers are moving faster. And increasingly, brand decisions are being made without ever visiting a website.

In this episode of MarketingEDGE, we explore how shifting buyer behavior, rising skepticism, and the influence of AI are reshaping what credibility and authenticity mean for modern brands. As audiences retreat into smaller, like-minded communities, marketers face a new challenge: earning trust in an environment where everything—from content to intent—can be questioned.

In a world flooded with AI-generated content, mixed messages, and eroding confidence in institutions, one thing is becoming clearer: trust is harder to earn — and more valuable than ever.

In this episode of MarketingEDGE, we explore what “trust” really means for modern brands, why skepticism is at an all-time high, and how marketing leaders might need to rethink what truly drives belief, loyalty, and connection with their audiences.

Drawing on ideas from Jean-Pierre Lacroix’s Think Blink Manifesto, this conversation challenges conventional marketing playbooks and invites you to consider a more human, emotionally grounded approach to brand building.

If you’re wondering how marketing can cut through the noise in a low-trust world — without resorting to gimmicks — this episode is for you.

Tune in to discover what it takes to stand out when everyone is competing for credibility.

AI is changing how marketers personalize experiences—but it’s also introducing new risks. In this episode of MarketingEDGE, we explore how AI-driven personalization is evolving and why many marketing organizations are struggling to translate new tools into strategic impact.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

How personalization is changing in the AI era

Why signal vs. noise matters more than ever

Where marketing transformation commonly stalls

In this episode of MarketingEDGE, we explore two timely realities for modern marketing teams: AI can help you move faster—but it can also confidently make things up, and AI is reshaping how leaders work across every business function, including marketing.

Account-based marketing is supposed to focus your efforts—but what if your ICP is actually shrinking your pipeline? In Part 1 of our ABM Misfires series, we break down one of the most common ABM mistakes: building an ICP that’s too narrow (and getting narrower over time). You’ll learn why “in-market only” ABM limits growth, how the 95/5 rule reshapes your strategy, and what high-performing teams do to balance demand capture and demand generation.

Plus, we dig into what it really looks like to operationalize AI in marketing, featuring workflow lessons from OpenAI’s communications team—moving beyond experiments and into repeatable daily execution.

If you’re leading ABM, demand gen, or growth marketing in B2B, this episode is packed with strategy you can apply immediately.
