Where to point AI (and what to fix first)

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

How in the world did I end up consulting on AI? I'm a marketer, right?

It's because I don't want to gatekeep the superpowers I feel like I've obtained from using AI.

Here's where it starts: 15+ years of marketing and sales operations, 25+ operating businesses, and 4 years digging deep into AI have put me in a pretty good position to consult on this topic. So here I am, advising on AI in business operations.

When a client asks me about AI, I ask seven questions about their business before we discuss a single tool.

View the video or read the full article with the seven questions here.

Answer those honestly and you have the start of an AI implementation that can win.

Work the list in order of what is costing the company the most, because that is where improvement will be easiest to prove.

The End of Marketing Attribution, the beginning of Content Contribution

For 15 years I chased one word: Attribution.I tracked UTM codes and cookies, built the spreadsheets, and lived inside Salesforce, HubSpot, Adobe Marketo, Eloqua, and Pardot, trying to prove the value of content marketing. But the availability of that data is much different today. And we have to stop fooling ourselves that the old KPIs still make sense. So now, I'm helping marketers dig themselves out of the marketing attribution trap we built... for ourselves. Recently, I gave a keynote at...
