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.

First, we share practical guardrails for avoiding AI hallucinations when using AI for research and trend reporting. Then, we highlight an ExecutiveEDGE article explaining how AI is triggering a new leadership archetype: the Super Manager.

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.
