Meet the forward deployed marketer

Comment "NEWSLETTER" for more on AI, business, and marketing. The most valuable hire in marketing right now is one almost nobody is staffing for: the forward deployed marketer. This person owns the client outcome end to end, while AI agents handle the labor underneath. Here's how serious the good ones are. One marketer was asked how much he spends on AI every month. Not what his company pays, his own money. The answer was $1,500 a month. That's $18,000 a year out of his own pocket to stay ahead. That's exactly the kind of person you want. To attract them, you have to show them the future doesn't look like what a traditional agency thinks. The model is building and strategizing, fewer client calls, less time lost to reporting, and a lot more fun shipping real work. You become a builder. People will keep inventing new titles for it, but at the core you're still a marketer. You just stay valuable by adapting. #Marketing #AIAgents #MarketingJobs #FutureOfWork #EricSiu
