As part of our AI for CMOs series sponsored by Persado, Paul Roetzer is interviewing CMOs paving the way in onboarding and scaling AI-powered technologies in their marketing. In this first episode in the series, Paul sits down with John Dougherty, Chief Marketing Officer at Brighton Jones. John's role spans audience segmentation, automation, branding, digital media, events, messaging, inbound marketing, demand generation, and ROI. He develops the marketing vision and strategy with the support of his martech stack. Leaning on his agency experience, John views his business development team and business segments as “clients,” and focuses on providing the assets and tools needed for each to accomplish their goals. Improving marketing through the use of AI-powered tech opens up opportunities for John and his team to build and nurture and community through unique relationships with their customers.
