The Thought Leader: Master Storytelling, Not Mass Marketing

"With the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), it has never been easier to crank out huge amounts of information … mediocre information, boring information, slam-your-head-against-the-wall information.

Continue reading the full Thought Leader blog to learn more about Jay's "resonance over reach" approach to modern marketing, and his upcoming presentation at Experience Inbound 2024.
