From digital to AI
It doesn’t feel like 10 years ago that digital was the new black in marketing.
I still remember reading a LinkedIn post from Johan Eriksson, seeking marketers to join his 'transformation team'.
Johan and a colleague of his, David Ståhlberg both working at Google, were writing a book that was supposed to be a snapshot of the marketing industry as it looks today. It ended up being a much bigger project about the digital transformation and the book called "Marketing goes Digital" formed.
I reached out to Johan and was fortunate to be selected to be part of the transformation team. Besides reading the book and providing feedback, it was very inspirational to be part of the team and share ideas. This was back in 2016. Lots have happened since.
I have continued that journey into the era of Artificial Intelligence. By completing the Google AI Professional Certificate, I now specialize in 'AI-Augmented Marketing'—using Generative AI to scale content production, automate sentiment analysis, and sharpen strategic decision-making while maintaining the authentic 'human' brand story I’ve built for over two decades.
