AI Strategy into Action - Lucio Ribeiro - Australia’s #1 AI speaker - ex 7 Network and Optus 

AI is transforming how CMOs are running their marketing program. Many marketing departments would like to spend more time focussing on the innovative long term programs of work to progress the organisation. However, in the past, they often get pulled back into delivering short term gains and managing the always on tactical programs. With AI, CMOs finally have the chance to get ahead.

To explore this topic I had the CMO of Salesforce ANZ Leandro Perez join me on the Customer Smarts podcast. It was a fascinating discussion as Leandro has a great perspective on the demands of CMOs but also has amazing insight into AI and how CMOs can best leverage it.

In this episode we dive into:
What makes a great CMO?
Agentic AI boosting the impact of the marketing department
Managing AI workers as part of your marketing team
Having many agents specialising in specific tasks
Customers will start to have their own agents

Every time a new technology is introduced it creates new ways to interact with customers. In recent times AI is flipping the world on it’s head but we’re also seeing progress with spatial computing and 3D experiences with devices like Apple’s vision pro. So, I wanted to get a perspective on how these new technologies are changing the way we need to approach design. 

To get an understanding of how we need to change how we design experiences I had Oliver Weidlich join me on the Customer Smarts Podcast. Oliver, has been in the UX design space for a long time working with leading brands like Qantas, Optus, Atlassian and CommBank. He’s an expert when it comes to understanding how humans interact with new technologies and devices especially in the spatial computing space. 

In this episode we dive into: 
• How technology is driving designers to design differently 
• Creating 3 dimensional experiences 
• Designing for the AI Age 
• The future of design
