As perguntas que a área debate e cada lado, nas palavras de quem o defende.
Should AI automate marketing, or should human judgment remain central?
AI as default infrastructure
AI is becoming built into advertising and marketing work, with optimization increasingly handled by automated systems.
My 2026 prediction: “Creative” and “targeting” collapse into a single optimization layer.
Very quickly the implicit and unavoidable use of AI in every facet of marketing will render the acronym redundant. Rather than “AI Advertising” it will just be advertising – indelibly built using AI.
In a world that everything is being commoditized, AI is commoditized in everything. And so actually, it's never been a better time to go back to the classics and learn real marketing.
Should growth prioritize broad reach or the right customer relationships?
Focused customer relationships
Growth depends on finding the right audience, following customer needs and creating work for a specific customer.
it's easy to grow an audience. It's hard to grow the right audience that you can sell them things. And there are very different skill sets. And I think the most valuable skill set is building the right audience.
Growth calls for prolific publishing, broad distribution and content that can keep reaching people over time.
So when people are looking for some posts, they're looking. Your post could show up a year from now if you're doing the like answering a question that people are searching for.
Your posts have a very long tail. Yeah, the first 48 hours may be what matters to you, but you can go and make another comment yourself about some other guide, some other thing you just released.
So what's the point? You know, like it's, it's why, why be so insistent on tracking your post, tracking those clicks when you're going to kill your reach anyway?
Last-click attribution is too narrow; marketers should keep testing and accept risk when results are not immediately measurable.
So the hill that I will die on is you can't just overly track attribution immediately. Last click all that. You got to just take the risk, keep going, keep iterating and believe that it will come together.
So what's the point? You know, like it's, it's why, why be so insistent on tracking your post, tracking those clicks when you're going to kill your reach anyway?

Marketing
Direção
Marketing is moving toward AI becoming routine infrastructure, while differentiation is framed around human judgment, original ideas and customer understanding.
Very quickly the implicit and unavoidable use of AI in every facet of marketing will render the acronym redundant. Rather than “AI Advertising” it will just be advertising – indelibly built using AI.
In a world that everything is being commoditized, AI is commoditized in everything. And so actually, it's never been a better time to go back to the classics and learn real marketing.
But you do not. You, you want to face the cold wind of reality as soon as possible. And so don't delay the customer conversations where you can actually find pull.
More AI in marketing means marketers are handing over the work.

The cited positions distinguish AI as routine assistance from fully automated content; one marketer explicitly rejects automating content end to end.

Audience growth and customer growth are the same goal.
O que as fontes mostram
One position separates building a large audience from building the audience that can become customers.
it's easy to grow an audience. It's hard to grow the right audience that you can sell them things. And there are very different skill sets. And I think the most valuable skill set is building the right audience.
Use employee-generated content and rotate in new pieces when existing content has run its course.
So your goal is to keep creating different content that becomes more A's. But while you're using the A's, being smart enough to notice when they've kind of exhausted and you need a new piece of content to sub in.
Ask why strong content works, then develop a distinctive point of view from those observations.
One way really to develop taste, I think is to just ask yourself some critical thinking questions as you consume content yourself. Like when you're consuming the content from people, brands, whatever that you like, ask yourself why you like it.
Start with customer conversations and sell an early product as a service when that makes the offer easier to test.
But you do not. You, you want to face the cold wind of reality as soon as possible. And so don't delay the customer conversations where you can actually find pull.
