From Pilot to Production | What Separates AI That Scales From AI That Stalls

Scaling intelligence is the ambition. For most marketing organisations, it remains exactly that.

The gap between AI experimentation and operational impact is wider than most organisations want to admit. The technology is ready. The models are powerful. And yet most marketing AI pilots never make it into production, stalling at the point where ambition meets the reality of the data underneath it.

In this session we sit down with a senior marketing leader who is navigating this journey right now; experimenting with AI, learning what works, and working out what it actually takes to move from pilot to something that scales. We'll talk honestly about where AI has got it wrong, what the real blockers are, the build vs buy question, and what has to change for AI to deliver consistent, accurate, autonomous intelligence across complex data environments.

No hype. No theory. Just an honest conversation about what separates AI that scales from AI that stalls…and what you can do about it.
