Marketing In the Age of AI
While everyone rushes to automate everything, the smartest marketers are learning when NOT to use AI - and that's their competitive edge. This group experience reveals why your resistance to certain AI tools and automated solutions isn't fear or stubbornness; it's your marketing instinct protecting what machines can't replicate. Discover the FORCE framework that helps you identify which tasks deserve human creativity versus AI efficiency, and learn why your "gut feeling" about campaigns becomes MORE valuable as AI becomes ubiquitous. Perfect for marketing leaders navigating the balance between AI acceleration and authentic brand voice.
