With increased AI Adoption, is the most valuable skill for a modern marketer empathy with customers, or is it successfully prompting? Contentful, in partnership with Atlantic Insights, The Atlantic's marketing research division, recently conducted a study of over 425 marketing decision makers including 103 CMOs. This study, “When Machines Make Marketers More Human,” challenges the notion that AI will replace many marketing functions and instead demonstrates how AI can amplify marketers' effectiveness, creativity and impact. Today, we're going to talk about how AI is reshaping the very definition of a modern marketer. We'll explore the shift from simply automating tasks to augmenting human creativity, the rise of the ‘full stack' marketer, and what skills are becoming non-negotiable in an AI-driven world.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Elizabeth Maxson, CMO at Contentful.

Brandon Rhoten is the Chief Marketing Officer at GroundTruth, an advertising platform that uses real-world location and purchase data to show how media drives store visits and revenue. As the former CMO at Wendy's, Papa John's, and Potbelly, Brandon was instrumental in building Wendy's groundbreaking digital and social marketing programs, contributing to 40 consecutive quarters of growth for the brand. In addition to his executive experience, he is a tech investor, advisor, and recognized trailblazer in blending art and science to drive marketing ROI. In this episode… Marketing was supposed to get easier once everything went digital, yet many teams feel more overwhelmed than ever. With endless dashboards and touchpoints to untangle, proving what actually drives revenue has become its own full-time job. So in a world where every impression is technically "trackable," why are so many companies still flying blind? According to Brandon Rhoten, a longtime marketing leader known for marrying creativity with accountability, the real issue isn't a lack of data; it's that most organizations still treat marketing like a black box instead of a measurable driver of business results. He explains that the shift begins with embracing both sides of the craft — the art that earns attention and the science that proves impact. He points to everything from funnel complexity to outdated buying habits as reasons leaders still struggle with attribution. But when companies learn to connect media exposure to real-world behavior, the fog lifts. The bigger payoff, Brandon says, is a marketing function that's finally seen as an investment rather than a cost. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, host Alex Gluz is joined by Brandon Rhoten, Chief Marketing Officer at GroundTruth, to discuss how modern marketers can finally link advertising to tangible business outcomes. You'll hear why attribution is still broken, how to rethink media through an omnichannel lens, and what it takes to align marketing with the CFO's expectations. Brandon also shares practical advice on using AI to sharpen both strategy and creative execution.

I'm excited to have Andie Crosby join me for a two-part series. In Part 1 today, we dive into why cardiovascular health is the number one longevity lever for women and how it is often ignored until it is too late. We explore the critical role of the endothelial glycocalyx, a microscopic life-sustaining structure that is essential for vascular integrity, the inflammation response, and nutrient delivery. In Part 2 next week, we will cover how nitric oxide supports energy, sexual vitality, and even skin radiance, and factors that could damage the ability to produce it naturally. How to Protect and Support the Endothelial Glycocalyx Reduce stress Manage blood sugar Prioritize sleep Meditate Take clinically researched supplements. Monitor your cardiovascular health with diagnostics and lifestyle tracking to catch and reverse arterial aging before it starts to progress. Bio: Andie Crosby Andie Crosby is a seasoned business leader and passionate advocate for health and longevity. After decades leading marketing and brand development for companies like Nike, Apple, and Procter & Gamble, her focus shifted in her 40s when she experienced firsthand the impact of hormonal changes, inflammation, and the power of nutrition to transform health. A simple elimination diet revealed how profoundly food and lifestyle impacted her well-being, sparking a deep curiosity about health and healing. This led her to the Institute for Functional Medicine, where she became the first Chief Marketing Officer. Over ten years, Andie built IFM's marketing and partnerships teams, driving a 13-fold increase in practitioner education and advancing personalized, systems-based care. Today, as President of Calroy Health Sciences, Andie leads innovation in cardiovascular and joint health. Her mission is to raise awareness of the vascular system's foundational role - not only in disease prevention, but also in longevity, brain health, and performance. She believes we have the tools to change the trajectory of our healthspan and empowers people to take control by asking the right questions. Andie brings a relatable, purpose-driven perspective on living longer, better, and embracing midlife as a powerful opportunity for health transformation. In this episode: Why traditional health measures do not always reveal hidden cardiovascular risks The value of vascular age testing to uncover silent inflammation and plaque in arteries How lifestyle and stress factors can silently impact heart health over time. How perimenopause and hormonal changes dramatically increase cardiovascular risk in women Why cardiovascular disease is often overlooked until it's too late What advanced diagnostics can reveal beyond a standard blood panel How emerging knowledge about the endothelial glycocalyx is reshaping our understanding of vascular health The benefits of supplements, meditation, stress management, and improving your diet to reverse arterial aging Links and Resources: Your Longevity Blueprint Omega 3s – 60 capsules https://yourlongevityblueprint.com/product/coq10-100-mg/ Guest Social Media Links: Calroy Health Sciences on Instagram Calroy Health Sciences on Facebook Relative Links for This Show: Use this link for 10% off (And a Free Bag of Oral Microbiome Gum) Follow Your Longevity Blueprint On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast
What We Are Sipping On: 2022 Chardonnay, Parra Wine Co. Episode Description In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Wine & Chisme Podcast, Jessica sits down with Vanessa Vigil, Chief Marketing Officer at nglMitú, a leading digital media brand dedicated to elevating Latiné voices and culture. Vanessa shares her personal journey into media, the evolution of nglMitú, and the responsibility and joy that come with telling authentic stories from across the Latiné diaspora. From combating stereotypes to celebrating our community's joy, creativity, and complexity, Vanessa breaks down how nglMitú uses storytelling to shift narratives in mainstream media — and why representation behind the scenes matters just as much as what appears on screen. Grab your glass and settle in — this conversation is honest, empowering, and full of the cariño and cultura you expect from Wine & Chisme. Key Takeaways Authentic storytelling is a responsibility, not a trend. Vanessa shares why nglMitú centers lived experience, community insight, and nuance in every project. Diversity within the Latiné community must be acknowledged and celebrated. One narrative can't represent an entire diaspora — and nglMitú reflects that through multiple creators and voices. Representation behind the scenes matters. Hiring Latiné creatives, writers, and decision-makers directly impacts the stories that reach the public. Community is a superpower in media. nglMitú's success stems from building trust and creating content that resonates across generations. Brands and partners play a role. Vanessa explains how collaborative opportunities can elevate Latiné creators instead of stereotyping them. Latiné joy is revolutionary. Telling stories that highlight our humor, brilliance, resilience, and love shifts culture more than people realize.

How are AI-powered Interactions Transforming Daily Customer Experiences Shep interviews Tifenn Dano Kwan, Chief Marketing Officer at Amplitude. Tifenn talks about how AI and digital analytics are redefining customer experience through hyper-personalization and authentic interactions. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: What inflection points in technology have most impacted customer experience in the digital era? What is hyper-personalization? How has artificial intelligence transformed digital customer experiences? What future trends in AI could most impact customer service and experience? Should companies be transparent with customers about using AI-powered services? Top Takeaways: Artificial Intelligence has become one of the biggest game-changers for customer experience. It helps companies remove friction, enabling customers to get help faster and solve problems more easily. Embracing new tech in CX is about finding ways to make life easier for your customers. Moments like the rise of the web, and the growth of AI mark big turning points that companies must adapt to. Being open to change lets businesses create better experiences for customers and stay ahead of the competition. Customers want to be treated as individuals, not just a number. Personalization, especially when powered by AI, helps match customers with products, recommendations, or solutions that really fit them. AI can deliver hyper-personalized experiences that keep people engaged and coming back. But, businesses need to remember that personalization that feels authentic and respectful is what really wins customers over. Customers prefer when companies are transparent, especially about processes that impact their experiences. Modern customers can easily spot fake or insincere messages. Being authentic means communicating honestly and being open about how technology, like AI, is being used to serve them. Your AI is only as good as your data. If the information going into the system is wrong or messy, the results might mislead both the company and the customer! Good data leads to smart decisions and better customer outcomes. Whenever there's a major technological change, there's always concern about job losses. While AI can take over some tasks that used to require humans, it also creates new work opportunities. New jobs and skills will be in demand, especially in areas that support or expand what AI can do. The future of work is about adapting, learning, and growing alongside technology, not competing against it. Plus, Shep and Tifenn discuss use cases and opportunities for AI to improve the customer experience. Tune in!

A great marketing engine doesn't run in a straight line. It spins, gathers speed, and builds momentum with every turn.That's the lesson of the flywheel, a framework that transforms scattered marketing efforts into a self-sustaining system of growth. In this episode, we explore how to turn that theory into reality with Nataly Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi.Together, we unpack what B2B marketers can learn from building circular strategies that connect brand to demand, removing friction where it matters most, and compounding small wins into unstoppable momentum.About our guest, Nataly KellyNataly Kelly is CMO at Zappi. She has over 20 years of experience leading remote and global teams, and previously served 7 years as VP at HubSpot. She is a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, a published author of four books, keynote speaker on marketing, growth, and international expansion, and an award-winning leader. She has been named among the Top 50 CMOs on LinkedIn, as Marketing Executive of the Year, in the 40 under 40, and one of the Top 25 Content Marketers in Enterprise Software, as well as among the Women Worth Watching.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Flywheel:Marketing is a flywheel, not a funnel. Marketers love funnels because they're measurable, but Nataly reminds us that the best marketing is circular, not linear. She says, “So often we have thought of marketing as like a linear funnel. But the flywheel's really where you turn the funnel on the side and then connect the top to the bottom.” In her model, brand, demand, land, and expand all feed each other in an ongoing loop. Marketing shouldn't be about one campaign that ends. It's about creating continuous energy that connects awareness to advocacy.Friction kills momentum. Velocity doesn't come from spending more, it comes from removing what slows you down. Nataly explains, “A general rule of thumb I've always used is the closer you get to someone's wallet, the more important it is to remove friction…. Every touchpoint is a chance to delight a customer.” In B2B marketing, the same rule applies: every confusing process, clunky message, or slow response is a brake on your flywheel. Smooth the path, and speed will follow.Small improvements compound into unstoppable growth. Marketers often look for a big splash, but Nataly says momentum comes from micro progress. Nataly asks, “What are the small things we can do to create uplift today and momentum today?... And those things add up.” Each small optimization—an improved touchpoint, a clearer message, a faster follow-up—removes friction and accelerates the flywheel. Consistency, not chaos, creates compounding power.Quote“Your brand voice is really how you decide to communicate with your customer. And that is not just what we typically consider marketing communications. It touches every part of the customer experience.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Nataly Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi[01:09] Why Flywheels?[05:16] Role of Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi[07:30] What are Flywheels?[20:52] Understanding Market Dynamics and Customer Segmentation[22:11] Building and Maintaining a Flywheel Strategy[26:11] Content Marketing Success Stories[33:51] Leveraging LinkedIn for Effective Content Distribution[39:22] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Nataly on LinkedInLearn more about ZappiAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.
