What happened
Fifty executives are driving artificial intelligence adoption in advertising and marketing, demonstrating significant business impact. HubSpot's Kipp Bodnar increased AI-referred demand by 1,850% and citations by 433% via answer engine optimisation. Cognitiv's Jeremy Fain and Dr. Aaron Andalman grew their ContextGPT tool by 388% through an OpenAI partnership.

Why it matters
AI is delivering concrete, measurable business outcomes across advertising and marketing operations. Founders and investors observe direct revenue growth, such as beehiiv's ad income doubling to $1 million monthly, and significant efficiency gains, like HubSpot's 1,850% rise in AI-referred demand. Procurement teams and CTOs should prioritise AI solutions demonstrating clear metrics for client acquisition, operational streamlining, and content performance, rather than generic AI integration.
