Marketing Careers Uncovered

What AI’s really doing to marketers - from starting out to senior strategy, with Em Brown and Sam Birkett


Listen Later

After reading HubSpot’s 2025 trends report, I found myself wondering: is AI really reshaping marketing careers, or are we just getting swept along by another hype cycle?


In this episode, I’m joined by Em Brown, a junior exec navigating AI expectations before she’s had time to build her craft, and Sam Birkett, a seasoned strategist who’s lived through more than one marketing hype cycle.


Together, we get into:

  • what AI means for skill-building, judgement, and career progression
  • whether prompt-writing is replacing creative thinking
  • how trend reports are shaping perception (and not always helpfully)
  • and why knowing what good looks like still matters more than ever


One for anyone trying to progress in their career without losing their instinct to algorithms.
