Join AMA Nashville as Nicholas Holland, the VP of Product and GM of HubSpot Marketing Hub and CMS Hub, discusses the impact of AI on marketers and how it can effectively enhance customer experiences and build customer loyalty.
HubSpot is developing proprietary tools using large language models (LLMs) to create AI "agents" that help people plan and execute marketing strategies. These agents will be able to perform work currently being done by humans.
Just as scribes were replaced by printing presses, human marketing specialists may become replaced by these agents. Rather than considering this as a threat, Holland urges marketers to see the opportunity to embrace new AI "superpowers."
AI is more accessible than ever, thanks to advancements in large language models. At HubSpot, agents will be designed to help small businesses level up, while helping larger marketing teams do extraordinary work in a short amount of time. Holland's advice: avoid the AI hype and instead prioritize meaningful and practical use cases.
Overall, Holland's insights highlight the practical applications of AI in marketing and the importance of using it to create better customer experiences and build customer loyalty.

The imminent crumbling of 3rd party cookies, the longstanding lynchpin identifier that enables audience targeting and measurement, is ushering in a new age of cookieless advertising where alternative identity solutions are critical to digital advertising success. On the brink of this type of transformational moment, how is the advertising industry preparing (or not preparing) for increased signal loss and a cookieless world? What do industry professionals think of the leading alternative identity solutions? And how do marketers and advertisers feel about privacy and its place in the larger identity conversation? Google intends to deprecate third-party cookies in its wildly popular Chrome browser by the end of 2024, but savvy marketers must act now.
This presentation will:
Share a breakdown of events that have impacted cookie deprecation and changes to identity targeting and measurement
Highlight the industry noise around mythical ‘savior’ solutions and the realities surrounding them
Provide a practical look at the horizon of alternatives that advertisers need to be aware of and consider

This election is to elect the board officers for the 2024-2025 fiscal year which begins on July 1, 2024.
Please select whether you Approve or Do Not Approve for each of the 2024-2025 AMA Nashville officer candidates.
Voting close on Wednesday, February 28 at 5 p.m.
Each candidate is running unopposed, in accordance with AMA's bylaws. It is intentional that there is only one candidate for each position. The Nominating Committee of the AMA Nashville works each year to identify candidates who (1) have exemplary credentials, and/or (2) a track record of AMA involvement, and (3) a commitment to invest their time and talent in AMA Nashville's future. Due to the level of commitment required by our board members, each position runs unopposed. If you would like to vote for an alternative candidate for a position, you may enter their name in the "Other" field.
The election process should be seen by AMA Nashville members not as a competitive election, but an opportunity to be informed regarding future leadership and to voice support for the incoming candidates. AMA Nashville moved to this model several years ago for three reasons: (1) it allows AMA Nashville to attract more candidates for office, since we found that some otherwise highly qualified candidates were not interested in investing in a competitive election process where they may need to campaign for office, and may not succeed in being elected, (2) AMA volunteer board service requires a significant time commitment and board members often serve for multiple years and (3) the new model follows best practices in corporate America and the nonprofit world.
*Must be a current AMA Nashville member to vote. See details above for requirements.

Use the form below to nominate yourself or someone else you think would be a great addition to our board. To be considered, you need to be a member of AMA Nashville in good standing. You may select more than one area of interest. We will contact all members who express an interest in serving.
