How AI Search Forces Us To Rethink Marketing’s Value Story
The ways B2B marketing leaders currently demonstrate business contribution serve as a useful but imperfect compromise with business leadership. Now, changes in buyer behavior, including the use of AI in buying and the expansion of buying networks, threaten that tenuous balance. Join your peers to discuss your current state of demonstrating marketing value, share perspectives on how market forces are pressuring established ways of working, and exchange strategies for re-writing the rules of marketing accountability. This conversation will be hosted by Ross Graber and Craig Moore and will include open discussion with participants, so please bring your questions and experiences to share with the group. Questions for discussion:How do you currently demonstrate marketing’s business contribution to executive leadership—and where does that model break down or feel fragile? How are changes in buyer behavior (AI-assisted research, larger buying networks, fewer sales interactions) challenging your existing metrics, attribution, or operating assumptions? What new measures, narratives, or operating models are you experimenting with, or considering, to redefine marketing accountability and credibility? Peer discussions are available exclusively to Forrester Decisions VIP Leader and Leader license holders for their own participation.
