You bought the AI tool. Paid the monthly fee. Nobody touched it after week two.

That's not a you problem. That's a rollout problem — and it happens constantly.

Most AI implementations fail not because the technology is bad, but because nobody on the team was shown a clear, specific use case tied to their actual daily work. Marketing is the perfect example. Salesforce recently published hands-on AI training designed specifically for marketers — not developers, not data scientists. Marketers.

The insight worth stealing: AI skills stick when they're learned by doing, not by watching a demo. One session where your team builds something real beats ten webinars about what's possible.

You don't need to overhaul anything. Pick one repetitive marketing task — writing follow-up emails, summarising customer feedback, drafting social captions — and let one person on your team spend two hours experimenting with AI on just that task this week.

That's your first win. Small, measurable, reversible if it doesn't work.

No consultants. No six-month roadmaps. No ripping anything apart.

What's one task your marketing team repeats every week that you'd love to get off their plate?
