Few people speak plainer about where MarTech is actually headed than Amanda Cole, the CMO at Bloomreach, so it tracks that her return visit with Jay Schwedelson turned into a string of hot takes that cut against almost everything the industry keeps repeating.
ㅤ
She makes the case for ditching tools you're already paying for, designing a loyalty program that actually rewards the right people, and rethinking what it even means to hire a marketer right now. Worth a listen if you've ever stared at your tech stack and wondered how much of it you could rip out tomorrow.
