Marketing used to reward execution. More content. More ads. More optimization. If you knew the playbook, you could outspend, outpublish, and out-optimize your way to growth.

Sadly, that game is over. In 2026, AI means anyone can launch campaigns, generate content, and build funnels. But when anyone can execute “good marketing,” it stops being an advantage.

So, what’s actually winning today?

✓ Clear market positioning (people instantly know who you’re for and who you’re not)

✓ Distinct point of view (not just better messaging, but sharper thinking)

✓ Real customer insight (not templated personas)

✓ Consistency that compounds into brand authority

These days, go-to-market is about owning a space in the customer’s mind. 

Marketing isn’t dead. But it’s not a game of channels anymore. It’s a game of positioning. A game of differentiation. A game of trust.

So, if you’re still playing by the old growth playbook, you’re already behind.

I’ve been talking a lot about it, but next week it’s finally happening. Our premiere episode of the Ascend podcast is a fantastic conversation with Vivun CEO Matt Darrow.

Every company is “using AI” now, but slapping it onto a broken process doesn’t make the process better, it just makes it faster at failing. What companies need is AI that’s actually changing how their team sells, scales, and wins.

If you’re in sales or have a sales department, you need to hear what Matt says about AI and sales enablement.
