Choice quotes:
* Motti Colman: “It seems like every business is telling their customers: We are AI, or We have AI. But quite a lot of that is BS.”
* Motti Colman: “At Optimove, we were doing AI before it was cool. And I always talk with our sales team about not throwing around fancy buzzwords, but to talk about how we utilize AI.”
* Fintan Costello: “One-to-one marketing and personalization makes for a great presentation to the exec team. But for the boots on the ground, delivering it is a nightmare. You can't do it without automation.”
* Jon Bruford: “What companies tell us is personalization is often them just trying to sell us more of the same stuff, which is the opposite of personalization.”
