Takeaways
The role of humans in marketing is being challenged by AI and automation, raising questions about the future of engagement and trust.
Sophisticated scams and phishing techniques require marketers to find new ways to build trust with their audience.
Engagement and consumption metrics provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of marketing efforts and the level of interest from potential customers. Long sales cycles and complex products require a different approach to customer activation.
The NPS metric can be valuable for gathering feedback and identifying churn reasons, but it should be used in conjunction with other data sources.
Sound Bites
"Marketing generally has an incentive to over-promise, because that is what brings the people in."
"Why hand over to a human, which is a risk of failure at this point? Just automate the touch."
