In an era where marketing is constantly reinventing itself, staying ahead of the curve requires more than just keeping up with the latest technology—it demands a new way of thinking. With over 14,000 marketing tools available today, the landscape is more complex than ever. As AI accelerates change and traditional tactics lose their impact, how can brands truly differentiate themselves? Research shows that originality and adaptability are key drivers of success, yet many marketers struggle to navigate this ever-evolving ecosystem.

So, what does it take to stay relevant in marketing today? How can brands leverage creativity and technology to solve problems in a disruptive way?

In the final episode of this three-part series on DisruptED, host Ron J Stefanski and marketing thought leader Ivonne Kinser explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and strategic problem-solving. Kinser, the best-selling author of THINK: The Manifesto for Creative and Critical Thinkers, shares her insights on how marketers must adapt their mindset to succeed in an AI-driven world.
