Marketing is in a moment of radical change. AI has upended old systems, blurring the line between creativity and code. Yet even as teams adopt new tools and workflows, the core challenge remains keeping humanity at the heart of every story. This conversation explores how marketers are shuffeling their operations to co-create with technology while keeping authenticity, accountability, and empathy at the center because even in an algorithmic age, creativity and humanity still move hearts, minds, and markets.
