Marketers are really good at detecting marketing BS.
In the marketing field, AI is all the rage. There’s excitement around new AI capabilities. There’s heightened interest in AI-driven efficiency. And there’s an ongoing stream of new opportunities that are springing from AI innovation. That might lead even the best of us to get carried away in claims of AI “magic.”
At the same time, there’s also growing competition in the growing field of AI solutions and AI has become a buzzword, a catch-all term. That often leads to companies feeling pressure to wave the AI flag and dive immediately into the AI details. But that can spark more questions than enthusiasm.
This episode of FIVE focuses on the AI sales pitch to help marketers hone their intuition, find the legit powerful solutions, sniff out the gotchas… and answer the question, “What’s the catch?”
The FIVE List
Join us for episode 7 for the all the details behind the FIVE:
- If you’re selling solutions powered by real AI, then you should really try to avoid pinning your story on AI.
- If you’re a buyer, spend most of your time diagnosing your problem and far less on finding the solution.
- Sellers should sell performance first, not technology.
- Buyers and sellers should expect clarity and transparency from each other.
- If you’re thinking about adopting an AI-powered solution, it’s better to take a step and fail than not try at all.
Three impressive, insightful guests to explore best practices for vendors selling AI-powered solutions. And, best practices for marketers looking to implement AI-powered solutions.

It’s a deep learning engine that can predict what language will and won’t work better than any human. The tech extends across all digital channels, including email, push, paid social, paid search, display, and web, giving you a consistently high-performing brand voice everywhere. They quite literally wrote the book on this technology (it’s called “The Language Effect” and you can request your copy here).
