167. The Biggest Myths About AI Marketing with Satej Sirur

Welcome back to Mastering eCommerce Marketing with your host, Eitan Koter.

Today’s guest is Satej Sirur. He’s the co-founder and CEO of Rocketium, a company helping brands simplify the messy world of creative production using AI and automation.

We get into the real problems teams face when creating content at scale. Think hundreds of ad versions, across different platforms, with different formats, languages, and rules. Satej explains how Rocketium helps companies handle all of that, from building the creative itself, to approvals, compliance checks, and even pulling data to see what’s actually working.

One big topic here is how brands often misunderstand AI. Satej breaks down why AI isn’t just about generating content with a simple prompt. There’s a full creative workflow behind the scenes, and plenty of room for mistakes if you don’t approach it the right way.

Eitan and Satej also talk about leadership, especially in tech. Satej shares how his approach shifted from top-down decisions to giving his team the freedom and context they need to innovate on their own.

If you’re leading a marketing team, working with creative production, or trying to figure out how to actually use AI without getting lost in the buzz, this episode’s for you.

Let’s get into it.
