Most of the pitch and the demo is all about how terrific our plans are, and how well our gadget works. But if we hope for resilience, perhaps it makes sense to show off how gracefully the system breaks. Because it will break. Because plans won’t work out. Because we’ll be surprised.

This change prioritizes short-term demand capture over long-term brand building and demand creation. While AI enables scale and efficiency, it often sidelines marketing’s strategic role and compromises customer experience, especially in enterprise settings where automated outreach can do lasting damage.

There’s no shortage of conversation about giving marketing a seat at the table. Over the years, we’ve seen dozens of articles calling for marketing to be treated as a strategic partner, not just a service department.
