You’ve probably noticed marketing has been thrown into a bit of upheaval thanks to AI, busted playbooks and new ideas about what marketing should do and how its effectiveness should be measured.

We all rely on things we’ve learned in the past, but leading a marketing organization in today’s great big messy real world requires mindset shifts, and potentially different organizational structures. 

On today’s episode of Conversations with MarTech, we’re speaking to author, marketing strategist and MarTech contributor Kathleen Schaub about her new book, “Marketing in the (Great, Big, Messy) Real World: Rewire Your Marketing Organization to Navigate Anything.”
