#786: Thrad CEO Andrea Tortella on advertising in your conversational AI
Today, we’re going to talk about a potentially significant shift in digital marketing: the collision of conversational AI and advertising. As large language models become the new interface for information and interaction, brands are facing a critical question—how do you participate in that conversation authentically and effectively, without destroying the user experience? We’ll explore how to navigate this new frontier not as intruders, but as valuable contributors. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome, Andrea Tortella, CEO at Thrad.
From the creators of The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström® podcast, and the internationally best-selling The Agile Brand Guide® series of books on marketing technology topics, we're here to give marketers information and insights to make better decisions.
