What Contentful's Data Reveals About Broken Tech Stacks

AI was meant to transform marketing… so why are so many teams still struggling? In this Marketing in the Madness episode, Charlie Bell from Contentful breaks down the real state of AI in marketing - from broken tech stacks and “platform purgatory” to AI hallucinations, stealth integrations and why human judgment still matters more than ever. Recorded live on stage at our Marketing in the Madness Live anti-conference, Charlie shares fresh insights from Contentful's major report with The Atlantic, based on 425 marketing leaders, revealing what's actually working, what isn't, and how AI is reshaping content, creativity and workflow in 2025. What else? 1. Marketing teams don't trust AI to run without humans: When Charlie asked the entire room if anyone trusted AI to ideate, check its own work and publish content with no human involvement, not a single hand went up. And it's no wonder - with AI hallucinating everything from fake facts to Google's early version telling people to “add glue to pizza,” humans are still essential for judgment, truth, and brand safety.  2. Most teams are stuck in “platform purgatory”: Charlie explains how companies are trapped with old, clunky systems. The very platforms slowing them down are also the ones they're relying on to “fix” their processes. Vendors keep promising that AI will magically solve everything, but as Charlie puts it: putting AI on a failing system is like “putting a £500 exhaust on a £1,000 car.” It looks shiny… but nothing really changes. 3. Stack sprawl is killing content velocity: Marketing teams are drowning in tools: multiple CMSs, disconnected platforms, endless workflows. Some brands Charlie speaks to are using seven or eight CMS systems at once, meaning a simple landing page can take two weeks to publish. The problem isn't creativity but execution. Too many tools, not enough connection. And AI can't fix chaos. Enjoyed the episode? Follow us for more real conversations about the future of marketing, content and technology.

Host: Andrew Birmingham - Editor - CX | Martech | Ecom AI is reshaping the rules of business at breakneck speed - and likewise for marketing. Legendary tech sector analyst, founder, CEO and chairman of global analyst firm Forrester, George Colony, calls this the Seventh Wave. It’s an upheaval that will eclipse previous waves like the internet, mobile and cloud. It brings turmoil but also eventual re-ordering. For marketers, agencies, and media owners, the implications are extraordinary. Traditional SaaS pricing models are breaking down and legacy vendors are scrambling with defensive AI “upgrades” that mask deeper weakness in their systems. Colony says Agentic AI — autonomous systems that learn, adapt and act — is poised to collapse the tech stack, creating both risk and opportunity for brands. At the same time he explains why Google’s dominance in search is under existential threat - although its latest quarterly earnings results say otherwise. SEO will also fade into irrelevance, says Colony. Beyond, the open web Colony says will morph into the web’s version of AM radio and in its place, a new set of tech cartels is forming, each manoeuvring to entrench control. Colony sets out the strategic risks, the likely winners, and the moves marketers must make now. It is advice that many tech vendors will fear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amid the noise of AI, tech stacks, and templated playbooks, Lindsay makes a bold case: brand is the ultimate growth engine and the most overlooked. Together, Kerry and Lindsay unpack why so many B2B leaders are stuck in a cycle of sameness, chasing tools and frameworks while ignoring the emotional resonance that actually drives buyer decisions. Lindsay shares her BRAVE framework and explains how real, human brand storytelling creates clarity, trust, and long-term revenue impact. If you're tired of performance marketing that plateaus, or if your tech stack feels full but your pipeline doesn't this episode will show you why your brand is your future.

How to Build a $5.5M Recruitment Business Almost Entirely Through Referrals

How do you build an endless stream of referrals to sustain your recruitment business during an economic downturn?Brandon Glyck relies on this strategy: relentless follow-ups. This doesn't mean harassing a client or candidate to do follow-ups; in fact, it is the other way around. I am sure you will find Brandon's insight on this topic interesting!Brandon is the CEO of Quantum Search Partners in Virginia, where he leads a passionate team of tech and executive recruiters.They've been recognized three consecutive years on the Inc.500 list of fastest-growing companies (2021-2023) and have twice been a Washington Business Journal Best Place to Work (2023 and 2024).Episode Outline and Highlights[03:15] How Brandon got into recruiting at the young age of 18.[11:24] Doing things differently to adapt to the 2008 recession.[15:24] The strategy of leveraging relationships and constant referrals via relentless follow-ups.[33:12] “Those who appear hungry will starve.” - Know Brandon's conversation approach.[37:46] Dealing with the 2023 Tech downturn by upping their outbound business development.[44:02] Discussion on Tech Stacks, AI, and automation - what are the key things to personalize?[53:48] Brandon's plans and what the next 18 years will look like.[56:49] Building a culture aligned with a common vision and shared values.[1:01:30] Why lean towards retained and executive search?Age is Not a Differentiator Brandon shared an astonishing story about making his first placement when he was 18, while attending school. Inspired by his father, being young was never a differentiating factor that hindered him from building a solid foundation as an effective recruiter and eventually a business owner. He shared, “I saw my dad doing it. My dad would close deals like sitting on a lounge chair in the middle of our living room… I'm like, well, if he can do it, you know, why can't I do it? You do the research on the companies you're representing. You learn about the skill sets, and you just dive into it. And I don't think age is a differentiating factor. I think sometimes it's confidence or like. Yeah, I think that's a big part of it.”There are at least three factors that contributed to his success as a young recruiter:His humble learning attitude: by observing his father and other seniors “educate” him, he easily learned the tricks of the trade.His confidence: his drive to succeed gave him the mindset that age is never a differentiating factorHis perspective and mindset: knowing that all men are equal, he treats everyone the same. How he would treat a CEO is how he would also treat a janitor.Building a Stream of Referrals Through Relentless Follow-Ups Another stunning fact: Brandon and his team built a $5.5m business almost entirely by referrals. All recruiters and recruitment business owners aim to deliver their best to clients and candidates to build a stream of referrals. Brandon's strategy is heavily reliant on relentless follow-ups.What exactly does this mean?Consistency over intensity: It's not about hounding people, but staying top-of-mind over a long period.Genuine care: The intent is to show real interest in people's well-being, not just to chase business.Long-term mindset: Understand that value and referrals can take years to come to fruition.Controlled intensity: Stay focused, don't obsess over results—just stay consistent with outreach.Relationship-first approach: Business follows when trust and familiarity are built.Brandon shared a pragmatic approach that they use to execute the above, such as using different contact options (email, text, phone calls), tracking systems, segmented contact lists, MPCs, and others. He also emphasized the importance of adding value to the community by doing acts of goodwill, such as reviewing resumes and committing to it regularly.Showing Resilience - 2008 Recession & 2023 Tech DownturnYou will also admire Brandon's story on how he and his dad dealt with the 2008 recession. He was just starting as a recruiter back then, and when they lost their biggest client (AIG), he started making cold calls: “He ended up effectively losing that client. And it's now this summer before I'm going back to school. He buys me a book of computer executive contact info. So this is again, pre-Zoom info, like true cold calling from a book. So I'm doing a hundred cold calls. I have my little cold call script, 19 or 20 at this time, and I start landing us business. It was pretty cool. Like, looking back on it at the time, I didn't know what the heck I was doing, but it was working.”The same approach worked in 2023, during the tech downturn when Brandon and his team had to up their outbound business development. Brandon elaborated on four action points:Diversifying into new industries.Focusing on relevant and personalized outreaches.Testing multiple business development tactics, andBuilding a repeatable, scalable process.He also shared their tech stacks and how they are using them not to automate outreaches, but rather to personalize them.Indeed, a recruiter's resilient mindset is the key to remaining relevant and successful in a market where nothing can be certain.Brandon Glyck Bio and Contact InfoCEO at Quantum Search Partners, where I lead a passionate and talented team of tech and executive recruiters.Creative, driven, and competitive executive and technology talent leader who is willing to go above and beyond for clients, candidates, and team members. Passionate about affecting the future success and bottom line growth of our clients by connecting them with industry-leading and impactful talent and leadership.Former college athlete (football) and graduate of Princeton University with a major in Psychology.Outside of Quantum, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and have personal interests in fitness, performance psychology, travel, and start-up investing.Brandon on LinkedInQuantum Search Partners website linkPeople and Resources MentionedCharlie Saffro on LinkedInBrent Orsuga on LinkedInJeremy Jenson on LinkedInCrelateDripifyRelated Podcasts You Might EnjoyTRR#228 The 4 Talent Magnets that Drive Recruiter Retention and SuccessTRR#218 How Grit and Determination Fueled a $2M Recruitment Firm's SuccessTRR#217 How to Elevate Your Recruitment Firm to $12M with Effective Lead GenerationConnect with Mark WhitbyGet your FREE 30-minute strategy callMark on LinkedIn, Mark on Twitter: @MarkWhitbyMark on FacebookMark on Instagram: @RecruitmentCoachSubscribe to The Resilient RecruiterIf you've been enjoying the podcast, please take two minutes to leave a review.

Built by a broker who faced the same inefficiencies, it brings all our tools together into one platform and one login. And it can be tailored to what your organization needs.   Why is this tool so powerful for brokers who want to bring value? How can we use this tech stack to run our businesses better? In this episode, founder of StackWrap, Max Fitzgerald shares how the platform was developed and all the things it empowers both agents and brokers to do.   Agents have so many amazing tools but there is no way to consolidate them in one spot.

Today, HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins interviews Brett Ludden, the co-head of Financial Services at Sterling Point Advisors, an M&A advisory and financial consulting firm. Brett has worked at various roles in leading M&A transaction-related analytics and strategies, overseeing teams at Capital One, and consulting for Fortune 500 financial institutions. Collins and Ludden discuss the current market conditions and the outlook for 2024 and beyond. The conversation goes deep on the differences between asset deals and mergers, the importance of originator retention in M&A transactions, and the qualities that make a company an attractive acquirer. They also touch on the significance of technology integration and the impact of compensation on alignment in M&A deals. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: M&A advisors in the housing industry play a crucial role in providing industry insights and helping CEOs and owners make strategic decisions. The mortgage industry is experiencing a period of pain, and many companies are considering strategic options such as mergers and acquisitions. Companies that have a strong cash position, a well-integrated tech stack, and M&A experience are well-positioned to be attractive acquirers. Originator retention is a critical factor in M&A transactions, and companies should focus on identifying key people and creating a value proposition to ensure a smooth transition. The market outlook for 2024 and beyond is cautiously optimistic, with expectations of margin improvement and more strategic decision-making by lenders.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Listener Thor asks, Is there a chance the tech stack I choose throughout my career will hurt my chances to shift direction towards project leading/managing in the future? Say, I do mostly frontend, will this affect the way people see my broader understanding of projects etc. compared to people in roles such as architect? Listener Travis asks, My company is starting to expand across time zones. The majority of the company is based in one time zone and a handful of employees are spread across others. I want to emphasize the importance of asynchronous communication. I have begun to feel like I need to respond ASAP to Slack messages instead of when it is convenient. If we were to say Slack is used for asynchronous communication, is asking the team to use Signal or even text appropriate for a quicker response? What is a good way to handle reaching out to team members in cases where a response is needed more immediately? Show Notes https://m.signalvnoise.com/is-group-chat-making-you-sweat/
