AI in Practice

AI augments judgment.
It doesn't replace it.

Artificial intelligence is changing how marketing functions operate. The question most senior leaders are actually asking isn't whether to adopt it — it's where to apply it, what to protect from it, and how to govern it without slowing everything down.

Those are judgment questions. And judgment is what this series is built around.

About this series

Applied research for senior practitioners.

AI in Practice is BlindSpot's applied research and perspective on how enterprise B2B marketing functions — product marketing, demand generation, brand, and beyond — can deploy AI with clarity and discipline.

This is not a tools directory or a prompt library. Every piece of content here is written for senior practitioners and leaders who need to make real decisions about how AI fits into their function, their team, and their GTM motion.

Every post is written from operational experience, not vendor positioning. BlindSpot works inside enterprise B2B marketing functions. What we publish here reflects what we've seen work, what we've seen fail, and where the real risk in AI adoption tends to hide.

The through line across all of it:

AI creates genuine leverage in marketing functions — but capturing that leverage requires judgment, not just access.

The handoff from AI to human judgment is non-negotiable in certain areas — and getting that boundary wrong is costly.

Governance doesn't have to mean bureaucracy — but it does have to mean intentionality.

The organizations using AI to compound their advantage are doing something fundamentally different from those generating more output nobody reads.

Core questions we're working through

The decisions AI can't make for you.

Every article, framework, and assessment in this series addresses one or more of these questions.

01

Where does AI create genuine leverage in marketing functions?

And what does capturing that leverage actually require — in terms of process, data, and human oversight?

02

Where is the handoff from AI to human judgment non-negotiable?

And why does getting that boundary wrong tend to be more costly than not using AI at all?

03

How do you govern AI adoption without creating bureaucracy?

The goal is clarity and speed — not compliance theater. What does that actually look like in a marketing function?

04

What separates AI that compounds advantage from AI that generates noise?

The difference isn't the model. It's the judgment layer that decides what to do with the output.
