I left the hotbed of AI innovation in San Francisco to come to... yes, Cleveland, Ohio for the top marketing AI conference in the country!
Why? Because Day 0 of #MAICON2025 (The Marketing AI Conference) and its soooo worth it.
What’s happening here isn’t theory, it’s business reinvention.
I’ve been a devotee of The Artificial Intelligence Show podcast for a while, and being on-site with the generous and sharp behind it, like Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput , didn’t disappoint.
Alongside my business partner Jeanine Moss , I jumped into fingers on the keyboard workshop, a kind of GPT-enabled hackathon for business leaders. Armed with custom GPTs and powerful prompts, we weren’t just testing AI for productivity. We were rewriting business models, interrogating market assumptions, and pressure-testing growth moves.
As Paul put it best on one of his slides:
“While many organizations focus on AI for efficiency and productivity gains, this workshop pushes beyond conventional boundaries, empowering you to reimagine your business model, revolutionize your industry, and drive growth.”
And that’s exactly what happened.
MAICON is about applying AI, not just talking about it, and that’s where it gets exciting for founders, fund leaders, and business and brand strategists like us at Outfront Solutions Marketing .
Can’t wait to bring these insights back to our work through AI-integrated growth and valuation strategies.
Thank you to the Marketing AI Institute @ team and everyone who made Day 0 rock solid (although I'll blame my insomnia on today's inspiration.)
