In this podcast for managers, Audrey, Lee and Ryan discuss:
· How big tech is affecting management tasks and workflow
· How to harness the power of new tech and AI without becoming lazy and destroying credibility with stakeholders
· How to determine what to use technology to scale and create efficiencies
· Do’s and Don’ts of marketing automations and tech
· Using tech properly to improve lead generation and lead quality in marketing
“The reaction and why I have this perspective on technology in marketing is it made us all lazy! It made it too easy for us to scale without thinking about what we’re scaling.”– Ryan Ruud
