Many marketers missed the early chance to rethink their organizational structures before rolling out AI tools. As a result, they’re now operating at the shifting crossroads of AI, data, and contemporary marketing strategy. In this episode of Conversations with MarTech, Ryan Warren, chief CRM officer at Razorfish, explains why so many companies fall short of unlocking the full value of their martech stacks and what it takes to reset for an AI-first future. Topics include: Simplifying the tangle of legacy systems and point solutions by concentrating on eight core technology domains. Treating the movement of data—from big data clouds and CDPs all the way to the end customer experience—as a single, continuous assembly line. Why creating a shared language between marketers and data engineers is critical to running modern data foundations. How AI could make traditional “buttons” obsolete, replacing them with more natural, embedded workflows. Using AI not only to scale efforts, but also to address customer fatigue and weakening results in direct messaging and email. Why it’s a leadership duty to train teams to use AI well, weaving prompts and orchestration into everyday processes.
