Summary

Guillaume Cabane and I discuss the future of marketing and the role of humans in a landscape dominated by AI and automation. We’re talking about what does drive marketing and sales teams, and how their future will look like.

The conversation touches on topics such as product-led growth, market penetration, and the role of content marketing in engaging target audiences.

The conversation touches on the use of automation and human interaction in customer reactivation, as well as the ethical considerations of growth marketing. They conclude with insights on understanding churn and implementing effective re-engagement campaigns.

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."
