Agentic Marketing Revolution

Master AI-powered marketing before autonomous agents replace your role entirely

In Agent-Powered Growth, Stu Sjouwerman, founder and executive chairman of KnowBe4 (the world's largest security awareness platform) addresses the existential threat facing hundreds of thousands of marketing professionals as autonomous AI agents reshape their industry. He is also the founder of ReadingMinds.ai, an AI-native research platform that conducts emotionally intelligent voice interviews at scale--turning hours of calls and weeks of waiting into overnight insights. That work reflects his broader thesis: when agents can sense context, reason with memory, and act across channels, marketers stop firefighting and start compounding.

Drawing from three decades of experience building billion-dollar technology companies and navigating industry disruptions, Sjouwerman transforms the anxiety of potential job displacement into a strategic competitive advantage by showing marketers how to evolve from replaceable tacticians into indispensable orchestrators of AI-powered marketing ecosystems.
