What becomes of vendor-authored “How to” content when a precise AI Overview is zero clicks away? Is the bloom off of the ABM rose, or have tools allowed marketers to finally scale account-based marketing programs? What’s the role of brand in an age when AI can generate our content and agents can engage with our prospects–better still, is there a role for brand marketing?
CMOs often think of their programs as a portfolio, balancing conservative but predictable investments with some higher risk, higher upside experiments. Yet generative and agentic AI has changed market dynamics, so to speak. So we decided to extend this investment metaphor and publish a mock “buy, sell, hold” report on marketing programs in the age of AI. From content to digital ads, product-led growth to field marketing, and just about everything in between, we share our perspective on how CMOs should think about rebalancing their programs portfolio as we enter this new era.
