The buzz around artificial intelligence (AI) in marketing has reached a fever pitch. However, despite its potential, AI alone isn’t a silver bullet. In the words of Tobias Ackermann, CEO at Censhare and Member of the Management Board at Entirely, "Before we even talk about AI, we need to ask: Is our content and data AI-ready?"
If your data is fragmented, your content siloed, and your tools disconnected, AI will only amplify your existing inefficiencies. The challenge for marketers today isn’t merely about adopting AI but ensuring their martech stacks are structured and orchestrated enough to genuinely benefit from AI-driven capabilities.
As Scott Brinker, VP of Platform Ecosystem at HubSpot and Editor at ChiefMartec, points out, “We’ve spent 15 years trying to consolidate martech stacks, yet the landscape keeps growing. The real answer isn’t less—it’s better integration.”
Brinker’s insight reframes a common misconception: the problem isn’t that marketers have too many tools—it’s that these tools rarely speak the same language. Fragmentation limits AI’s effectiveness, turning promising initiatives into disappointing experiments.
Begin by mapping out all your existing marketing technologies. Identify overlaps, gaps, and particularly where silos exist. Your goal isn’t immediate simplification but clarity around interconnections—or lack thereof.
AI thrives on structured, consistent data. As Fabio De Bernardi, VP at Adverity, emphasizes, “You can have the best AI in the world, but if the data isn’t ready, your AI is nothing.” Prioritize cleaning, structuring, and centralizing your data.
Composability, according to Scott Brinker, “is about bringing different pieces together in a way where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Rather than buying a monolithic solution, strategically connect modular tools that can adapt and evolve with your business.
Operational orchestration, as highlighted by leaders like Patrick Moser, CEO of Marmind, is fundamentally more effective than forced consolidation. “Instead of forcing tools into one monolithic system, align them within a cohesive, interactive framework,” Moser suggests. This approach provides flexibility, scalability, and improved workflows.
