AI is doing it all – writing copy, building media plans, generating insights in seconds.
But is it making us better marketers? Or just better at skipping the thinking part?
That’s why we’re hosting a fast-paced, thought-provoking debate where experienced marketers go head-to-head on one big question:
Is AI saving strategy – or slowly killing it?
Will we argue that AI gives marketers superpowers?
Or that it’s replacing judgment with justifications?
You decide.
What to expect:
- A lively debate between 4 sharp thinkers with opposing views
- Real-world examples, and respectful crossfire
- Audience questions and voting before & after
- Some beer & pizza!
