The roadmap for CMOs ready to lead in the AI era.

AI now shapes how customers discover, decide, and engage. Traditional marketing structures were never built for this pace. CMOs need more than new tools, they need to redesign the way marketing operates.

Marketing Engineers


Marketing Engineers are the shift CMOs have been waiting for. By unifying data, AI, workflows, and decisioning into a single operating system, they turn marketing from a collection of activities into a scalable engine of growth designed for modern customers.

At the center of the book is Marketing Engineering (ME), the emerging discipline that makes this shift possible. Painter shows how CMOs can shift from managing activities to architecting marketing’s core engine of growth, with teams, systems, and rhythms built to move at the speed of the modern customer.
