The shift

How AI is changing the CMO / VP Marketing role

AI is taking over the first drafts of campaign briefs, content calendars, and performance reports that used to eat into a CMO's week. It now handles audience segmentation, ad copy variants, and budget pacing analysis fast enough to test more ideas per quarter. The shift is moving the role from approving finished work to setting strategy and judging which AI-generated options are worth funding.
