SaaS Backwards Episode 157 - AI is Reshaping B2B Marketing—Are You Ready?

Guest: Christina Richards, Fractional CMO & Author of Rise of the AI-Powered CMO

Most B2B marketers think they’re using AI effectively. The reality? Many are barely scratching the surface—and failing to leverage AI as a true revenue driver.

Christina Richards, fractional CMO and author of Rise of the AI-Powered CMO, breaks down how AI is transforming go-to-market strategies, reshaping demand generation, and redefining the role of marketing leaders in B2B SaaS.

The biggest shift? AI is moving from a tool for efficiency to an autonomous operator, changing how marketers engage customers, optimize campaigns, and drive pipeline growth. Those who fail to adapt will fall behind competitors who are already leveraging AI-driven personalization, predictive lead scoring, and hyper-targeted ad strategies.

Christina shares actionable insights on how B2B CMOs and CROs can embrace AI—not just for automation, but as a strategic advantage to accelerate growth and revenue.

Key Takeaways:

  • AI is Now Critical Infrastructure: It’s no longer just a tool for automation—it’s transforming how companies generate revenue.
  • CMOs Must Become Revenue Architects: The role of marketing leaders is shifting from brand builders to full-funnel revenue drivers.
  • AI-Driven Search is Changing SEO: If your content isn’t optimized for AI-generated search, your audience may never find you.
  • Agentic AI is Here: Autonomous AI agents are moving from experiment to execution—marketers must prepare now.
  • First-Party Data is a Competitive Advantage: With hyper-personalization on the rise, companies that don’t own their audience data will struggle to compete.

Get ready to rethink your marketing strategy in the age of AI—or risk being left behind.
