Check out Andy De's thoughts on strategic and data-driven marketing
When it comes to how marketers should approach go-to-market strategy, Andy shares:
"It really starts with who your target market is, what the segmentation is, and who your buying center is, which usually comprises one or more executive buyer personas and influencers within that market segment."
He also shares his perspective on AI in marketing:
"Gen AI is only one technology, one tool, one modality in what is a portfolio of artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing, natural language generation, machine vision, and medical robotics."
And how marketers should approach content creation:
"It should really be about the value, and you should provide content all along the buyer's journey—from awareness to consideration—to ensure they can move forward in their decision-making process."
