Marketing Revolution:
Beyond the Quarterly
Revenue Wheel
Modern marketing has been reduced to pipeline obsession, with CMOs increasingly forced into a CRO mold. But real marketing—the kind that builds sustainable growth—goes far beyond lead generation. This session challenges short-term thinking and reclaims marketing’s strategic role in business.
This session will dive into:
  • Escaping the Pipeline Trap—Why marketing is more than just revenue ops and sales enablement.
  • The CMO Identity Crisis—How marketers are being pushed out of leadership and why it’s a problem.

SEO in the Age of AI (AEO—AI Experience Optimization)
Search as we know it is vanishing—AI is now the gatekeeper of information. Traditional SEO tactics are losing relevance as people turn to AI assistants instead of Google. The real question: how do you make content discoverable when AI, not humans, is the primary consumer? Let’s explore the shift from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to AI Experience Optimization (AEO) and what it means for content strategy.
This session will dive into:
  • From Google to Generative AI—How AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity are replacing traditional search.
  • AEO vs. SEO—What AI prioritizes (structured data, Q&A formats, authority signals) and how to adapt.
  • The Next Wave—Why autonomous AI agents—not humans—may soon be your primary audience

Top Questions from the Session

If search visibility now depends on structured data, conversational formats, and authority signals, what unconventional strategies can marketers use to train AI models to prioritize their content?
How do you design content that not only ranks in AI-generated results but also shapes the AI’s understanding of your brand over time?
How can SMB, bootstrapped businesses afford quality SEO/GEO/AEO? We've been searching globally for 9 months, and all we find are black hat methods and generic strategies that aren't tailored to us or our clients.
How should a start up ($1M or less in revenue) with minimal marketing resources approach this?

Power-Law User Acquisition in the Age of AI

Join this session to learn the framework and walk away with a clear strategy to identify and test your next high-performing growth channel. Plus, you will get access to a battle-tested AI ad copy prompt, so you can put AI to work for your growth immediately.
