On today’s episode of Banking Transformed, my friend Eric Fulwiler, who is the co-founder and CEO of the marketing consultancy Rival, joins me to discuss how true marketing innovation will come not from the AI tools themselves but from proprietary customer insights and creative application of AI outputs. Eric also shares practical frameworks for CMOs to evaluate AI investments, build team capabilities, and maintain a strategic perspective amid rapid change while providing tips for ongoing AI learning.
