As the Marketing Companion podcast approaches a pivotal transition, I wanted to take a moment to share some raw reflections on a topic that I’ve skirted for most of my 13 years as host: the real, lasting value of relationships in our business—and in our lives.

The latest episode wasn’t just another deep-dive on marketing tactics or the latest technological leaps. It was a refreshing, at times vulnerable, conversation with my dear friend and marketing powerhouse Mathew Sweezey. Together, we explored what companionship and genuine connection really mean in marketing, and, more candidly, in my own journey.

Although Mathew works for Monks, named Ad Age magazine’s AI agency of the year, he is, and always has been, about the human relationship.

Why I Avoided This Topic

I’ve never excelled at what people traditionally call “networking.” I tell stories about ducking out of cocktail parties packed with potential clients, all so I could have one meaningful dinner with an old friend. Frankly, I’ve always preferred deep, one-on-one conversations over the shallow hustle of business-card exchanges, where people look over your shoulder hunting for the next “important” contact.

Yet, time and again, friends (including Mathew) insist I’m actually good at relationships. The irony? Maybe I just don’t fit the conventional mold. My strongest connections often live far away, and for years I’ve felt a nagging sense that I haven’t done enough to build local, everyday friendships.

But this show — and the heartfelt sentiment Mathew shared — made me realize the other side of this narrative. Whether sitting by a fire sipping bourbon with close friends after years on the speaking circuit, or watching the tight-knit nature of the RISE community, it’s become clear: relationships are not a numbers game. They’re about depth, support, and showing up when it matters most.

The Only True Competitive Advantage

We swapped stories about brands that exemplify the power of real human touch. [Matthew Sweezy](/speakers/B) described how the CEO of an ultralight backpacking brand personally answers gear questions on Reddit, creating passionate customer loyalty. He told another memorable story about a gear retailer whose staff reached out after a sock order—not with a canned follow-up, but to genuinely ask, “Where are you headed on your next adventure?” That’s how you make a customer for life.

The data backs it up. After Backcountry.com introduced their “Gearheads” program—dedicated, knowledgeable staff providing personal advice—customer engagement and lifetime value soared by over 40%. The takeaway? In a world of AI, automation, and content velocity, the single thing your competitors truly cannot copy is how you treat people.

The Future: Humane Marketing

As we discussed the implications of rapidly advancing AI, another nuance came into focus: the line between human marketing and humane marketing. Increasingly, customers (even those who are hesitant with technology) would rather get a fast, caring resolution from artificial intelligence than be stuck on hold with indifferent customer service. Our real goal as marketers, then, is to deliver the most humane experience that solves problems kindly and efficiently, regardless of the source.

There was a poignant moment in our conversation when I reflected on my path, shifting from building things to building people. Author Arthur C. Brooks suggests that our greatest fulfillment later in life comes from nurturing, teaching, and mentoring. That’s where I find meaning now, and what I hope to do more of post-podcast.

Relationships, it turns out, have underpinned everything we’ve built on this show, even when they didn’t look like “networking” as the business world defines it. And if you’re out there feeling like I am — not quite wired for the cocktail circuit, but still hungry for connection — take heart. Your quiet, consistent loyalty and willingness to show up matter deeply to the people it touches.

The post The critical distinction between Human versus Humane marketing appeared first on Schaefer Marketing Solutions: We Help Businesses {grow}.

If you’ve been anywhere near a marketing podcast, blog, or LinkedIn stream lately, you know artificial intelligence is everywhere—our conversations, our ambitions, and, yes, even our anxieties. But in our latest episode of the Marketing Companion, I had a revelation with my friend Mathew Sweezy that stopped my “hype train” in its digital tracks. The pressing issue with AI in marketing might not be technical at all. It’s not the software, the models, or even the mysterious “prompt engineering.” The real AI challenge is leadership.

Mathew, who’s leading AI transformation at the global digital agency Monks, dropped a line that every CMO needs to tattoo somewhere within eyesight: AI is a leadership challenge, not a technical one.

Speed: The Underrated Competitive Edge

We started by talking about how corporate mindsets are splitting into two camps. Some are stuck in analysis paralysis, demanding to see hard ROI before dipping a toe. But the game changers—often Fortune 10 juggernauts—see AI as the next electricity. They’re moving decisively, driven by exec teams that understand one truth: if you wait, you miss the moment. AI isn’t about replacing people; it’s about expanding what’s possible and getting there first.

Mathew shared that the primary way companies are unlocking value with AI is simple but powerful: speed. With AI, inspiration in the morning can turn into production by the afternoon. Marketers are going from concept to campaign at a velocity that in the past would have been unthinkable, letting them be genuinely relevant, responsive, and—crucially—competitive. Reduced costs and greater creative output are important, too, but speed is the ace in the deck.

The AI Challenge Nobody Wants to Talk About

But here’s where things got interesting. AI isn’t the bottleneck with campaign launches anymore. People are. Most large organizations are still shackled by review cycles, legal approvals, and old-school processes. AI can generate a multi-channel campaign—TV spot, emails, the works—in a week. Yet, review and approval can drag on for weeks or months.

Why? Because big brands have far more to lose than gain by being fast. The old guard doesn’t want to risk a misstep, so speed grinds to a halt at the legal gate.

Mathew challenged me—has the balance of risk and reward shifted enough that we need to rethink the human review step? Increasingly, AI models can ingest prior review feedback and act as diligent gatekeepers themselves. At some point, more human reviews might not add value—they could just add friction. I didn’t agree with him. Maybe friction is exactly what we need right now!

Who Owns the Brand Brain?

Here’s another mindbender: With agencies deploying AI “agents” to create assets at scale, who owns the “brand brain”—the central agent capturing brand knowledge, style, and sensibility? Is it the brand’s to develop and guard, or does each agency make their own? Matthew predicts we’ll see brands taking sharper control, centralizing that “brand brain,” and letting agencies access it securely. This protects data, ensures brand consistency, and makes knowledge learning truly scalable.

And don’t worry, creative people: AI doesn’t spell the end. In these new agentic workflows, creative directors are still calling the shots, just now with a team of digital “specialists” who never tire, second-guess, or run late for a meeting.

A New Era for Creativity

This all points to a future where a marketing department isn’t just a mix of strategy and creative, but a system that learns, iterates, and rebuilds itself on a weekly—or even daily—basis. The wall between “art” and “machine” is coming down. Matthew—who’s also an artist—envisions exhibitions where artists create entire galleries in a day, reimagining the scale and pace of creative production.

Like me, he sees the symbiotic relationship between artist and machine as amplifying, not diluting, creativity. Suddenly, your limitations as a creator—whether they’re artistic, logistical, or even emotional—become machine problems, not human ones.

The Takeaway

So, where does this leave us? For leaders ready to accept the risk, AI can transform not just your marketing output but your whole organization’s metabolism. For those still clinging to the old ways, the real risk is getting left behind by brands who see “speed” as non-negotiable.

This isn’t a time to be timid. It’s a time for bold leadership, creative experimentation, and a willingness to reprogram the very rules we’ve always followed. AI is here. The question isn’t “should we use it?” It’s “how fast can we lead?”

The post Six marketing megatrends we’re watching right now appeared first on Schaefer Marketing Solutions: We Help Businesses {grow}.

There was one moment in my career that was a defining line between having a human existence and having an inhuman corporate career.

Perhaps you don’t remember a time before cell phones and laptop computers, but it was glorious because you could hide from your boss. Now, I was a hard worker and a responsible employee, but before the digital revolution, if you needed a mental health break, you could simply hide for awhile. If I was on the road, the only way for my boss to contact me would be over a pay phone some place. So I could just be “out of reach” for a little bit if I needed a breather.

Then there was this moment that I will never forget. I received my first laptop computer, and a report was due to my boss. I was living in California, so I was working at night so he would have it when he arrived in his office on East Coast time. And I had strep throat. I was so sick I could hardly be upright but there I was, typing out this report at my kitchen table. And my wife said, “What are you doing? The doctor said you had to be in bed!”

And in that moment I realized there was no more hiding. There was no more personal independence. I was now tethered to technology, bound to my work in an unavoidable way that introduced a new level of stress to every moment of the day.

Some time in my 30s, I began to realize that I had to make different choices. I was working in a way that was making me sick and taking too much time away from my family. So I started removing myself from the rat race and began mindfully pursuing a path of personal peace. I made choices for contentment over money, and started working for myself 17 years ago.

I’ve written about this journey toward personal peace from time to time, including:

The single word that changed my life

Why I stopped growing my business

Mistakes along the way

The meaning of life

But I’ve never talked about this subject on a podcast … until now.

Mathew Sweezey has been on a similar journey, figuring out this tricky balance of peace and the natural stress that comes with work. On this new episode of The Marketing Companion, we compare notes and share our own progress and hurdles as we seek personal peace in a hectic world.

We cover

• The balance between financial security and freedom
• The elusive concept of contentment
• Meaningful work
• How we calm down in the face of stress
• Psychedelics

We live in one of the most confounding and exciting times as philosophers and scientists grapple with an improbable question: “What is the role of humans in an AI world?”

It seems bizarre we would even have to consider the possibility of the shrinking relevance of a carbon-based human. In AI, we are creating something magnificent and frightening. Deep Mind founder Mustafa Suleyman (who currently leads AI for Microsoft) says AI is a digital species that can see, hear, think, and respond to its environment. In a new TED talk, he said “AI is us.”

Now hold on. AI is not us. AI is not my mom, my child, or my spouse. “AI is us” makes a good sound bite, but that is just not true. So, what is AI? This is the question of the moment, and it made for a wonderful discussion on the new episode of The Marketing Companion podcast.

In this episode, my genius friend Mathew Sweezey and I begin to explore the role of humans when AI rules the marketing world. Some of our discussion points:

• Humans will still need to create experiences and human-to-human connections that deliver outcomes. Connecting to customers and the human touch.
• The new emphasis on artisanal — isn’t that what we cherish most?
• AI will make customers expect perfect things faster
• AI as an enabler for humans, especially smaller businesses
• The human skills that will be the most cherished
• The aspect of humanity that still defines our marketing

How is this impacting us as people? As business professionals?

I thought this would be a great discussion to have with Mathew Sweezey and we devoted an episode of The Marketing Companion podcast to this subject — a personal view of the impact of AI. We cover:

• Our diverging views on how AI is impacting our professions.
• A view of professional adjustments and job loss.

Whatever happened to Web3?

Not long ago, every conference was stuffed with speakers pontificating about NFTs, tokenized economies, and digital wallets. We were promised that

• Web3 is ownership.
• Web3 is freedom.
• Decentralization is the future.

In 2022, Web3 was the dominant topic at the SXSW annual gathering of thought leaders. In 2023, there was barely a mention. When was the last time you used a Web3 function? That’s what I thought.

The rapid disinterest in Web3 is reflected in these Google Trend charts:

NFTs

Web3

Metaverse

We can’t overlook the fact that millions of dollars were invested in these ideas and those investments aren’t going to fade into the night. Will there be a time for Web3? Should marketers still pay attention?

I think so, and today I’ll tell you why.

First let’s look at the challenges facing Web3 development and adoption (at least from my point of view). The following points are GENERALIZATIONS. There are exceptions, of course, so don’t beat me up.

1. Disconnected from business value

Let’s start with the fact that too much focus has been on the sizzle without the steak.

An example. My biggest Web3 annoyance has been POAPs (Proof of Attendance Protocol). This is a simple NFT that is generally a memento from an event. A symbol that you attended something.

In my own community, every time we had an event, somebody was sure to suggest that I create a POAP. The conversation would go like this:

Web3 fan: “This event was great. You should create a POAP.”

Me: “Why?”

“Because we can.”

“But why?”

“Because we should.”

“But why?”

“It would be a nice memory.”

“But it takes work to mint this, and then it sits on a server somewhere burning energy forever. I don’t wanna.”

To me, a POAP is like the cheap pen or sticker you pick up at a trade show, and then you throw it out when you clean out your desk. Except you can’t throw out a POAP.

My point is, that many Web3 ideas are irrational products disconnected from real business cases. Too often, it is cool technology in search of a problem.

2. It’s not user-friendly

I was early to dabble in NFTs because I wanted to experiment and experience what it was all about. I set up a digital wallet, figured out what this eth “gas” was all about, and finally put it all together over two days to actually make a purchase. It was a pain in the ass. Still is.

It has been difficult to “on-board” to Web3, which has depressed consumer adoption.

3. Disconnected from the real world

The breakthrough for the success of the “Web2” internet was the user interface.

If you wanted to save a file, you dragged it to a “folder.”

If you wanted to get rid of a file, you put it in an icon of a trash can.

Every Web2 action was tethered to something you could understand from the real world.

Web3 introduced us to altcoins, defi, degens, hodlers, and other concepts that don’t intersect the real world. In a way, that’s what made it fun for the early adopters. Speaking this cryptographic language made you one of the cool kids and kept others out. But that’s also why Web3 has not been widely adopted.

4. Tarnished reputation

Let’s say I was selling a new sports car. We’ll call it the Mark500. It’s a visionary, futuristic vehicle with a retro vibe, so the most passionate automotive fans rushed to buy one. This created scarcity, and the value of my car soared as favorable press coverage documented that the Mark500 was a great investment! 

Oh happy day! Mark is getting rich. I can buy a Taylor Swift ticket!

But there’s one little problem. Everybody can copy my car. I have no meaningful intellectual property to protect my product. Thousands of low-quality Mark500 rip-offs enter the market. It’s confusing to know which car is real.

And then owners discover a big problem. The brakes on the Mark500 don’t work. Every day there seems to be another story of the Mark500 crashing into a tree or driving off a cliff. At first, the early Mark500 owners deny the problems. They are irrationally in love with the technology and want to protect their investments.

But soon, it’s undeniable. The press is reporting brake failures everywhere. Even after I repair my product, there is so much negative publicity that my brand will never fully recover.

The parable of the Mark500 is a story about NFTs. There was so much corruption, so many “rug pulls” and broken promises that most people could not trust the NFT “brand” any more. Sure, a few people held on to their Mark500, hoping for a turnaround. But the general public has moved on.

5. It’s not really decentralized

One of the things I could never understand about Web3 is why people were so in love with “decentralization.” Communities would become democratized and decisions would be made by shareholders, based on how many NFTs or tokens were held. That is almost always a lousy way to make decisions.

Decentralization meant a shift toward a more personalized internet, where data is controlled and owned by the individual. It also meant that owning the rights to your data and owning the rights to a community or product meant that everyone had a say, and everyone could be properly compensated for their time and data.

In a decentralized organization, the shareholders rule.

Occasionally, a democratic process is a good way to make decisions, like an election. But it is usually a terrible way to make most business decisions. That’s a story for another day, but suffice to say that touting “decentralization” as a goal is not really a business advantage in many cases when you need speed, expertise, and decisiveness to win the day.

We may not be happy that companies own our data, but most people are resigned to that reality in exchange for a personalized and free web experience. “Data ownership” is simply not a burning problem for the general population.

Further, as reality played out, it turns out that these Web3 platforms weren’t really decentralized at all. Jack Dorsey famously said:

You don’t own web3. The VCs and their LPs (limited partners) do. It will never escape their incentives. It’s ultimately a centralized entity with a different label.

If you’ve followed this blog for a while, you know that in 2021 I launched a creator cryptocurrency through a platform called Rally. It was a way for people to own a “share” of me. But in the end, Rally was just another VC investment that made stupid decisions and ignored its stakeholders. You can read the story of the rise and fall of my crypto token here.

And yet …

There are aspects of Web3 that I loved. My crypto token helped me build a wonderful, caring RISE  community. I could use the token to thank people and reward loyalty. It opened up new business models for monetization. Looking past the silliness of POAPs, NFTs represent a proof of ownership and authenticity, an elegant new way to create contracts, enable new business models, and reward loyalty.

There is SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

But clearly, problems have to be solved.

Web3 must be focused on true business value and grounded best practices tethered to reality. Obstacles to mass adoption like digital wallets and ridiculous “gas fees” have to go away or at least become invisible in the consumer journey.

And, we’ll probably have to stop using tarnished words like NFT or Web3, just like the doomed Mark500 would have to be reimagined and re-branded to be trusted again.

Now, here is the good news.

It’s happening. These problems are being solved. There is an undercurrent of Web3 successes bubbling up in mainstream businesses.

One example of this is an idea called “Open Loyalty” being pioneered by brainiacs like Mathew Sweezey. Mathew was a co-founder of the Salesforce Web3 Studio and is now on his own, helping brands apply Web3 in a rational way. Web3 is being reimagined!

To learn what Open Loyalty is all about and glimpse how Web3 is evolving into a truly customer-friendly experience, please listen to what Mathew has to say in the latest episode of The Marketing Companion podcast. I predict you’ll agree with me — Web3 is not over yet. It may be just beginning.
