70%

Are self-funding their own AI education

There will be “winners” and “losers”

WINNERS:
Let AI handle the “ing” of marketing: executing, automating, orchestrating.
Let humans focus on: strategy, creativity, brand building

Two paths emerging:

  • Winners: Investing in both AI tools and the people who use them strategically
  • Losers: Using AI as justification for headcount cuts and compressed compensation

Those that treat AI as a force multiplier—augmenting judgment, creativity, and execution—stand to gain a durable advantage in both talent and results.

"AI is completely reshaping marketing — automating execution and rewarding AI-fluent marketers. We're entering an agentic era where AI handles tactical work and marketers focus on strategy, creativity, and revenue impact. The winners are the teams using AI to move faster, scale smarter, and drive real business outcomes."
