Being around curious minds, leaving inspired to test, putting ideas into practice. having conversations that sharpen your thinking, asking (a lot of) questions, sorry, not sorry…

“How is AI affecting the role of a marketer? I have seen this question asked a hundred times and rarely seen a credible answer. CXL ran a webinar this week that actually delivered one.
It had a bit of a cold shower effect, just data and a clear-eyed look at where things are.”
