The post-playbook CMO: Leading when AI commoditizes execution
If every CMO and their dog can generate brilliance on demand with ChatGPT, Claude, or Google Gemini, brilliance is no longer your edge.
Today, any marketing team can generate campaigns, sequences, and strategies in minutes. Execution has been commoditized. And when every team has access to the same tools and the same outputs, the instinct most CMOs reach for (find a better tactic, move faster, prompt smarter) is exactly what the moment punishes.
This session makes the case for a different kind of advantage. One that doesn't commoditize. One that compounds.
Drawing on frameworks built and stress-tested across multiple B2B growth inflections, we'll explore why the CMOs who lead the next five years won't be defined by the tools they used, but by how they thought when the tools stopped being enough.
Key takeaways:
- Why AI commoditization makes strategic frameworks more valuable, not less
- How to diagnose whether your org is running on systems or just better-dressed playbooks
- The mental models that hold up at inflection points when conventional approaches break down
- What it actually looks like to build a marketing function designed for change, not retrofitted for it
