The End of Marketing as We Know It: Perspectives from the C-Suite
Details
Our October meetup is a panel, The End of Marketing as We Know It: Perspectives from the C-Suite, co-hosted with AMA Triangle.
Ever wonder what the people signing off on your budget actually think about where marketing is headed with AI?
We're putting a panel of executives from around the Triangle on stage to talk about how AI is changing the way they run marketing, search included: where they're putting money and people, what they're asking their teams for, and what's working so far.
Then it's your turn to ask them anything.
Joining us are Peter Mollins, CMO at SE Ranking; Dan London, founder of Pine & Tar and former CEO and CMO of Adwerx; and Sheridan Orr, CMO at Language I/O. Timm Wilson from Pendo will moderate.
Panelists
Peter Mollins
CMO, SE Ranking
Peter is CMO at SE Ranking, where he's working to bring search, AI search, and social together so brands show up everywhere their customers look. He's spent more than 20 years running marketing at fast-growing B2B tech companies, including Nooks, KnowledgeTree, and Spreedly, and got his start as an intern at Netscape.
Dan London
Founder, Pine & Tar, ex-CEO and CMO, Adwerx
Dan has led marketing at some of the Triangle's best-known tech companies, taking ShareFile, Ansible, and Global Data Consortium through acquisitions and Bandwidth through its IPO, then serving as CMO and later CEO of Adwerx. He got his start in paid search and SEO. In 2026 he launched Pine & Tar, where he works hands-on with early-stage B2B companies as a fractional CMO and seed investor.
Sheridan Orr
CMO, Language I/O
Sheridan is CMO at Language I/O, where inbound marketing drives 90% of company revenue. Her approach starts with the market before the marketing, and she's been part of two IPOs and three exits valued at over $500M each, across AI, fintech, HR tech, and CX. With AI crowding every channel, she argues that story matters more than ever.
