So now, I'm helping marketers dig themselves out of the marketing attribution trap we built... for ourselves. Recently, I gave a keynote at...
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.
