The Human Signal in an AI-Driven B2B World
Tuesday 23 June, 16:00–16:30
Overview
Speakers
Description:
As CMOs operating under constant pressure to deliver growth, efficiency and proof of impact, the speakers will share how they are integrating AI into their marketing teams without flattening creativity or brand distinctiveness. Drawing on first-hand leadership experience, the session explores the practical decisions behind what they automate, what they protect and where human judgement still matters most. It will examine how creative ambition survives inside performance-driven B2B organisations – and why the most effective work often comes from resisting optimisation at key moments. It’s a candid take on the trade-offs, missteps and course corrections involved in scaling AI responsibly. A grounded look at how senior marketers can use AI to raise the bar for creativity.
Questions this session will answer:
- Where should you automate and where must human creativity stay protected?
- How do you balance ROI pressure with creative risk-taking that can't be optimised?
- What are the biggest AI integration mistakes?
