The Marketing Rapport

Jan 13 2022 • 20 mins

Marketing has always had one purpose — promote a brand and attract more customers. And although that goal has remained the same, the marketing approach has significantly changed over the last 20 years. Earlier, marketers used to be obsessed with celebrities and their lives; today, we're talking about IT, MarTech, and data science when it comes to marketing.

But what do modern marketers use to achieve their goals? Can they rely entirely on machines, artificial intelligence, and platforms like Salesforce CDP, or do they need to understand data science and implement it in their strategies? Well, that depends on the emerging trends in marketing and customers' expectations.

In the new episode of Infutor’s Identity Revolution, Cory Davis welcomes Marty Kihn, the SVP Strategy, Marketing Cloud at Salesforce. They get into Marty's career and life outside of work, how marketing became MarTech, and whether machines and AI can really replace the human side in the marketing space.
