AI Should Attack Your Work

Infobip has made your life easier, you just don't know it. That bank verification code. The fraud alert. The text from your Uber driver. Infobip has powered the customer communications behind some of the world's biggest brands for over two decades.  

In this episode Ben Lewis, VP of Marketing and Growth at Infobip joins Jacqueline to break down how a global B2B brand evolves from the inside out and what CMOs can steal from their playbook. 

In this episode:
The IQ + EQ rebrand. How Infobip shifted from engineer-first messaging to a framework that balances technical credibility with human impact.
The Haas F1 partnership. How two self-described underdogs used a Formula One sponsorship as a pipeline accelerator.
Brand vs. demand gen. How Ben keeps long-game brand investment alive when leadership wants pipeline numbers now. 

The takeaway for CMOs: you don't have to be the loudest brand in the room to be the most trusted one. But your positioning has to be documented well enough that when you hand it to a team, a tool, or a new hire it still sounds like you.
 

About our Guest: Ben Lewis is VP of Marketing and Growth at Infobip, a global leader in omnichannel engagement powering messaging, authentication, and advanced customer engagement for brands worldwide.

Infobip: When Your Customers Start Selling for You

In this episode of Defending Depth, Jacqueline makes the case for a critical shift in leadership conversations around AI. She walks through how teams are producing more output than ever, but most of it sounds vaguely, uncomfortably familiar and how most leaders are actively making it worse without knowing it.

In 7 minutes, she shares:
Why AI isn't the problem — and the uncomfortable place leaders should actually be looking
What it takes to build a team of thinkers instead of a team of editors in an age of AI-enabled convenience
Why weak internal reasoning always shows up as weak external positioning — and what it actually takes to fix it

You’re Creating Editors. Not Thinkers.

In this episode of Defending Depth, Jacqueline makes the case for analog tools in high-stakes thinking. She shares what happened during a seven-hour workshop with 15 bank executives, including the moment a quiet head of relationship management stood up, grabbed a marker, and changed the whole day. It's a short story about what happens when the room you're in becomes part of the thinking.

In 10 minutes, she shares:
Why digital tools create a false sense of safety that works against real strategic thinking
Why Sharpies produce better thinking than keyboards
One question to write on any whiteboard when your team needs to surface the truth they have been avoiding
