The &#8220;star&#8221; of content marketing lived up to her reputation. You&#8217;ve got to do it\u2026 Giving the conference the theme of Barbie\u2026 You read that right\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have you heard of B2B Barbie?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>She arrived on stage initially dressed in pink with a white B2B Barbie T-shirt. Her whole team was also dressed in pink and she made her presentation by trying to draw an analogy between the themes addressed in the film and the reality of content marketing professionals.

Note that name. We wanted fresh, unsettling food for thought? We were served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I wrote in my previous post, the vast majority, if not all, of the comments, speeches, opinions, etc. on AI in marketing were that it should play the bottom two roles in the Gartner-style quadrant he created (below). AI, for humans in general and marketers in particular, is, in his view and that of much of the marketing and business community, a novelty to be used with circumspection, or a servant of the lower tasks\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-100924.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew Davis\" class=\"wp-image-35821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-100924.jpg 697w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-100924-300x255.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Davis and his &#8216;OZ Quadrant&#8217;, it&#8217;s because we don&#8217;t want to give AI much autonomy, not to consider it as an &#8216;equal&#8217;, a partner in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s where his conference took a completely different turn. Exciting, but also confronting. He explained that instead of assigning it the dirty work, he had instead raised AI. Like a child, he had taught it to learn, professionalising it as he went along. He acted as a guide, but also gave it the chance to interact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And just like in the film Space Odyssey, where the researcher interacts with HAL, he has invested in a relationship of equals with his AI, which has become <strong>his &#8220;Digital Doppelg\u00e4ngner&#8221; or virtual double, &#8220;The Great Drewdini&#8221;, in reference to the magician Houdini.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(You can see for yourself Drewdini&#8217;s abilities <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K_I9DZITBZE\">by clicking here<\/a>).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>And in so doing, AI becomes not a danger but an ally. Mark his last sentence: <strong>&#8220;Digital doubles don&#8217;t replace, they elevate: they amplify your talents and broaden your impact&#8221;. <\/strong>Take that back to marketing now\u2026 Confronting, astonishing and a little provocative around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Davis was subsequently at the centre of conversations at the conference and quoted by several other speakers, even though his spectacular demonstration was in direct contradiction to the general consensus and content of the other (numerous) presentations on AI and its impact on B2B content marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-0932462-1-1024x384.png\" alt=\"Dopelganger B2B\" class=\"wp-image-35823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-0932462-1-1024x384.png 1024w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-0932462-1-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-0932462-1-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-0932462-1-1536x576.png 1536w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-0932462-1.png 1667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lady Trifecta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know anyone who would have the audacity to go up on stage at B2B Forum and say that we need to stop storytelling in marketing? Eliminate ineffective storytelling? Put aside the fear of missing out (FOMO)? Stop speaking to everyone avout everything, be highly provocative? (It reminds me of the late Martin Ouellette&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grenier.qc.ca\/employeur\/6403\/commun\">Provokat Agency<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This person is <a href=\"https:\/\/katedileo.com\/about\/\">Kate Dileo<\/a>, the Lady Trifecta. In fact, the title of her conference was: &#8220;<strong>Stop Telling Stories! Create Brand Conversations That Actually Convert with The Brand Trifecta&#8221;<\/strong>. And she delivered her presentation with vigour, confidence and just a hint of defiance. She&#8217;s been around, has \u00abseen snowing\u00bb, having made her debut on the telephone in marketing cold calls, and it shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00abYou are not in the business of convincing. You are in the business of converting. Your brand\u2019s job is not to speak to everyone in the world.

But what exactly is this trifecta? The term comes from horse racing (Trifecta: choosing the three horses that will finish in order at the finish line). So, in marketing, the three components of the brand identified as such by Kate are:<strong> the tagline, the value proposition and the differentiation statements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-215617-1024x763.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-215617-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-215617-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-215617-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-215617.jpg 1041w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But this trifecta is more than just three slides of a presentation.

See below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-221540.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-221540.jpg 771w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-221540-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-06-221540-768x493.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gleaned here and there..<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the surprises and disappointments, I would be remiss if I didn&#8217;t highlight some interesting information gleaned here and there from the conferences to which we had access with our virtual pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Ann Handley&#8217;s introduction, she quoted the &#8216;Technology Marketing Landscape&#8217;, published annually by <a href=\"https:\/\/chiefmartec.com\/\">chiefmartech.com<\/a> to show just how complex the task of those in marketing who have to work with technology has become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the presentation is not available, I&#8217;ve edited it directly from the site&#8217;s data. <strong>From 150 in 2011, the number of sites and applications dedicated to marketing and content marketing has risen to 11,038 in 2023<\/strong>.

According to Gartner, AI will reach the productivity plateau within five to ten years\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A disappointment&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before concluding this post, I&#8217;d like to underline a certain disappointment. It was Mark Schaefer&#8217;s conference. Mark is one of my idols in marketing and also as a blogger. So expectations were high for the author of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Marketing-Rebellion-Most-Human-Company\/dp\/0578419866\"> Marketing Rebellion<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cumulative-Advantage-Momentum-Business-Against\/dp\/1733553347\">Cumulative Advantage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-075845-1024x591.png\" alt=\"B2B communaut\u00e9s\" class=\"wp-image-35868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-075845-1024x591.png 1024w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-075845-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-075845-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Capture-decran-2023-10-05-075845.png 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark arrived on stage with a presentation on communities! As if they were the discovery of the century that would take us away from our phones and solitude\u2026 Or the future of marketing. That&#8217;s because of his new book, <a href=\"https:\/\/businessesgrow.com\/belonging-to-the-brand\/\">Belonging to the brand<\/a>. Part of the text on the back cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Futurist Mark Schaefer explains how three global megatrends are colliding to make community the next significant marketing priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best-selling author of KNOWN and Marketing Rebellion tells us how companies overlook the massive marketing potential of community and why this is the only strategy our customers will actually embrace.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, according to Gartner, <strong>70% of online communities are doomed to failure.<\/strong> But that&#8217;s not all.
