  • #814: United Rentals' Alyse Fuller on driving real impact without being overwhelmed by data

    What if one of your most valuable CX analysts isn't even a person?


    Agility requires not just collecting data, but closing the gap between insight and action at scale. This means empowering every level of the organization, from the frontline to the C-suite, with the right information at the right time to make smarter, faster decisions.


    Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond the score. We'll explore how Generative AI is shifting the discipline of customer experience from a reactive, score-chasing exercise to a proactive, problem-solving engine. We’ll get practical about how a very lean team at a massive organization can leverage these tools to drive real business impact, especially when faced with an overwhelming amount of data.


    We are here in Las Vegas at Medallia Experience 2026 and to help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Alyse Fuller, Customer Experience Program Manager at United Rentals.

    About Alyse Fuller

    Alyse specializes in seeking solutions that elevate the customer journey across every touchpoint. She believes in coordinating insights from customers with ideas from internal teams to drive customer experience (CX) improvements that align with broader organizational goals.

  • #813: Big Game Ads Recap: Zappi CMO Nataly Kelly shares the winners and losing advertisers

    Did your brand just spend $7 million on a 30-second ad that alienated or ignored half its potential audience?


    Agility requires a willingness to challenge long-held assumptions—like the idea that a celebrity and a massive budget are all you need for a winning Super Bowl ad. It demands that brands move from gut feelings to data-driven insights to understand what truly resonates with their audience.


    Today, we're going to talk about the biggest advertising event of the year: the Super Bowl. Millions of dollars are spent, careers are made, and brands have one 30-second shot to capture the zeitgeist. But beyond the spectacle and the morning-after buzz, what actually drives results? We'll dig into the data behind the ads, exploring which brands successfully connected with key audiences, what the data says about using celebrities, and how the smartest brands think about the Super Bowl not as a single event, but as a strategic play in a much larger game.
    To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Nataly Kelly, CMO at Zappi.
    About Nataly Kelly

  • #812: Capillary Technolgies' Jim Sturm on customer loyalty as enterprise strategy

    In a world without third-party cookies, is your customer loyalty program your most valuable asset, or your biggest missed opportunity?


    Agility requires a fundamental shift from viewing loyalty as a transactional rewards program to embracing it as a dynamic, data-driven engine for the entire customer experience. It demands that brands are able to listen, predict, and adapt to customer needs in real time.


    Today, we're going to talk about the evolution of customer loyalty from a simple marketing tactic to a core enterprise strategy. With the erosion of traditional data sources and the rise of AI, the way brands build lasting relationships is undergoing a radical transformation, and we’re going to explore what it takes to win in this new landscape.


    To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jim Sturm, President of North America at Capillary Technologies.

  • #811: Sesimi CEO Andy Baker on connecting marketing strategy with frontline execution

    Is your brand's biggest vulnerability a traditional competitor, or your organization’s inability to execute your strategy consistently across every single customer touchpoint?


    Agility requires more than just a fast-moving central team. It requires creating a resilient system that empowers distributed teams to execute flawlessly while adapting to local needs.


    Today, we're going to talk about that critical, and often broken, link between marketing strategy and frontline execution. It's the ‘last mile’ problem where brilliant campaigns can fall apart in the hands of local dealers, franchisees, or regional managers, leading to inconsistent customer experiences and wasted resources. We'll explore how to bridge this gap, moving from one-off campaigns to a cohesive marketing system.


    To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Andy Baker, CEO & Founder at Sesimi.

    About Andy Baker

    Andrew Baker is the Founder and CEO of Sesimi, a global brand management and creative automation platform designed to help distributed organisations deliver consistent, compliant and high-impact marketing at scale. Since founding Sesimi in 2010, Andrew has shaped the company’s vision, product and global footprint, building both a world-class team and an international partner network to support enterprise customers around the world.

    Under Andrew’s leadership, Sesimi has delivered large-scale SaaS solutions across four continents for some of the world’s leading automotive brands and other complex, multi-location organisations. His deep expertise in aligning marketing strategy with real-world execution has been instrumental in Sesimi’s international growth and the platform’s ability to solve persistent challenges around brand governance, localisation and creative production.

    Before founding Sesimi, Andrew built a strong foundation in finance and commercial strategy, beginning his career at KPMG, GE Finance and Sallie Mae. He later transitioned into advertising, leading a boutique agency responsible for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in Australia — work that involved developing and delivering Tier I, II and III retail campaigns across all media channels. It was through this experience, addressing the operational complexity of brand and campaign execution across dealer networks, that the idea for Sesimi was born.

    Andrew holds a Master of Finance and a Bachelor of Business from RMIT University, and brings more than two decades of experience building and leading high-performing teams — both locally and remotely — to support enterprise-grade customers in rapidly evolving markets.

  • #810: Bynder's Luke Roberts on brand and content governance in a 1:1 omnichannel world

    What if the biggest threat to your brand’s integrity isn't a competitor, but the sheer volume of unmanaged, ungoverned, and untraceable content your own teams are creating every single day?


    Agility requires more than just speed; it demands a solid foundation of control and intelligence. It's the ability to create, adapt, and deploy content at the pace of the market without sacrificing governance, consistency, or compliance.


    Today, we're going to talk about the content paradox facing modern enterprises. While the demand for personalized, omnichannel experiences is causing content creation to accelerate at an unprecedented rate, the systems to manage, govern, and measure its impact often can't keep up. We'll explore how to turn this content chaos into a competitive advantage, the role of AI not just as a creation tool but as a workflow agent, and why the future of marketing will be measured in outcomes, not output.


    To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Luke Roberts, Global Director, Digital Strategies & Growth at Bynder.

    About Luke Roberts

    Luke Roberts serves as Global Director of Digital Strategies and Growth at Bynder, a global leader in AI-powered enterprise DAM.

  • #809: Jacquard Chief Product & Growth Officer Toby Coulthard on sounding verifiably human in an AI world

    As every brand rushes to adopt generative AI, what if the greatest competitive advantage is no longer about speed and scale, but about sounding uniquely, verifiably human?


    Agility requires moving beyond the hype of new technology to strategically apply it for true differentiation. It’s about being smart and selective, not just fast.


    Today, we're going to talk about a paradox at the heart of modern marketing. Generative AI has promised unprecedented scale and personalization, but for many, it's delivering a sea of sameness where brand voice gets lost. We’ll explore how to break free from this generic output, moving from a reactive "test and learn" model to a predictive one, and discuss the critical balance of combining AI's power with essential human expertise to maintain brand soul, safety, and performance across countless channels.

  • #808: Resident Expert: Bill Staikos on the market activity in 2025 MarTech & CX platforms and what 2026 will bring

    As a marketing leader, you often spend so much time on the strategies and tactics that keep your brand growing that it’s difficult to keep up with what’s going on in the background with the platforms and the companies behind them.


    While agility requires a flexible technology stack, it also requires a leadership mindset that can distinguish market noise from genuine strategic opportunity, and filter out the hype to understand the shifts that can impact customers and the bottom line. The ability to pivot your people, processes, and platforms in response to major market shifts is no longer a nice to have, but rather a competitive advantage.


    Today, I’m excited to talk with our 2026 Resident Expert on the CX and MarTech platform landscape. We’re going to focus on the business and business opportunities that mergers, acquisitions, and big moves in the market provide to these platforms’ customers. Our focus today is going to be a recap of market activity in 2025 with an eye towards what to expect in 2026.

  • #807: AI21 Labs CMO Sharon Argov on navigating promise vs. reality with AI adoption

    With every board member and CEO demanding a generative AI strategy yesterday, how much of the conversation is about creating real business value versus simply not being left behind?


    Agility requires more than just speed; it demands a fundamental shift in how we approach problem-solving and storytelling, especially when a technology like AI re-writes the rulebook.


    Today, we're going to talk about the real tension that exists between the incredible promise of generative AI and the practical, often messy reality of enterprise adoption. We'll explore how to bridge the gap between deeply technical products and the clear, compelling narratives that actually convince customers and boards to invest.

    We've spent years trying to make our chatbots sound more human, which is great. But what if the larger goal should have also been to make them as useful as possible while we’re at it?

    What if the biggest risk to your marketing AI strategy isn't the technology itself, but the org chart it's fracturing?


    Agility requires more than just speed; it demands a framework of trust and collaboration. When it comes to AI, this means your ability to innovate is directly tied to your ability to partner effectively across the organization, especially with IT and security.


    Today, we're going to talk about a critical tension point in the modern enterprise: Marketing is moving at the speed of AI, adopting powerful, often low-code tools to drive results. But this speed creates new complexities and risks, disrupting traditional roles and processes. Success is no longer just about having the best tech stack; it’s about forging a strategic partnership between the CMO and IT leaders to balance innovation with governance, and productivity with security.
