Automation & AI Integration\nWorkflow Automation: Identify and execute on massive process efficiencies by automating marketing workflows. You won’t just use AI tools; you will operationalize them into the department.\n\nTool Architecture: Deeply understand the broad array of AI tools available and architect the appropriate scenarios for their use to solve complex business problems.\n\n5.
