  • How Humanoid Robots Will Transform Marketing
    Mar 30 2026
    In this episode of the AI Marketing Podcast, host Mark Fidelman sits down with David Amar, founder of Makina (a new conference dedicated to physical AI), to explore how robots and humanoids will change the future of marketing. They discuss why robots are such powerful brand activations, when we might see in‑home humanoid housekeepers, how China is leading on hardware while the West leads on software, and why 2025–2026 feels like the "GPT moment" for physical AI. David also shares what to expect at Makina in Paris on July 7 and why marketers should get ahead of this trend now. Guest David Amar Background in computer science and neuroscience (UCL)Formerly worked in prostheticsFounder of Makina, a conference that brings together the fragmented physical AI ecosystem: humanoid builders, robot "brain"/OS providers, capital, industrial partners, and talent Key Topics & Timestamps 1. Why Robots Are Marketing Gold [0:00:00 – 0:02:24] David's background and the launch of MakinaWhy robots are "premium marketing material": Robots tap into deep cultural fascination (e.g., Star Wars, Star Trek)Simply announcing "Robot X/Y will be on site" can materially boost event attendance Humanoids as especially compelling because of their uncanny, human-like form "I don't think I've ever met somebody that says this isn't interesting… It's just premium marketing material." – David [0:01:31] 2. Timeline: When Physical AI Hits Everyday Life [0:02:24 – 0:03:25] David's long‑range outlook: Short term: impressive demos, but still lots of technical bottlenecks~10–15 years: expect robots/humanoids in places we never imagined, with deep dependence on them Contrast with digital AI: We're already "slaves" to ChatGPT and cloud AI for knowledge workPhysical dependence on robots will follow later 3. How Robots Show Up in Marketing (Beyond a Robot at a Desk) [0:03:25 – 0:06:27] Robots won't replace marketers by typing at a desk—that's the realm of LLMs and digital AIInstead, robots will act as: Brand avatars and mascots (e.g., "the Amazon robot," "the Walmart robot")Physical activations at events, retail, and public spacesProduct demo agents in stores, on the street, or wherever target audiences gather Comparison to today's street activations (e.g., sign spinners) but in a far more advanced, interactive formEmotional/branding angle: A charming C‑3PO‑style humanoid pitching products can be more captivating than a celebrity "There's just something more charming about a C‑3PO showing the new Coca‑Cola than just a regular old Joe… even if it's George Clooney." – David [0:05:33] 4. Humanoids vs. "Robots" – What's the Difference? [0:06:27 – 0:07:55] Humanoid: Robot with human‑like physiology and form (height, posture, movement)Tends to get anthropomorphic traits projected onto it Robot: Any robotic form, e.g. a single robotic arm, a robot dog, or R2‑D2‑style platforms Long‑term: Mark expects humanoids to become increasingly indistinguishable from humans in 20+ years 5. In‑Home Humanoids: How Close Are We Really? [0:07:55 – 0:11:29] West vs. Asia split: West: stronger on software and AI modelsAsia (especially China): stronger on hardware and shipping units at scale Today you can already order multiple Chinese robot models online and have them delivered within a month Current leading players mentioned: 1X – focused on household/housekeeping tasksSanctuary (Sunday Robotics) and others delivering early trial units Reality check on timelines: No one truly knows, but David's informed estimate: 5–7 years to order functional in‑home humanoids onlineDependent on breakthroughs in: Fine manipulation of small objectsRobust computer visionAutonomous navigation in unmapped environments Many "impressive" demos are partly marketing: Used to raise capital, build momentum, and buy time while teams fight through technical bottlenecks 6. Data, Compute, and How These Robots Actually Learn [0:10:42 – 0:13:16] Today's deployed robots are often trial models used primarily to: Collect huge amounts of real‑world dataTrain the next generation of more capable robots Data and compute needs: Humanoids need even more data than LLMs: Touch, force feedback, vision, balance, navigation, etc. Massive compute, similar or greater than what's used for digital AI Where the compute lives: Training: in large data centers, often the same infrastructure used for AIOn‑device inference: Onboard boards like NVIDIA Jetson inside the robot's "chest"Local models run on-device, optionally connected via Wi‑Fi for streaming data and updates Most robots in the wild are still tightly constrained and far from general-purpose autonomy 7. The Makina Physical AI Event in Paris [0:13:59 – 0:19:11] Date: July 7Location: Station F, 13th district of Paris (central), the world's largest startup campusFormat: One‑day dedicated physical AI conferencePaired with ...

  • Why AI Marketing Is Failing (And How Smart Companies Fix It)
    Feb 1 2026

    AI is moving faster than most marketing organizations can handle and many AI initiatives are quietly failing.

    In this episode of the AI Marketing Podcast, host Mark Fidelman sits down with Steve Wunker, innovation expert, former collaborator of Clayton Christensen, and author of AI and the Octopus Organization, to break down:

    • Why treating AI like a "tech upgrade" is a massive mistake

    • How most companies are "AI-ifying broken processes" instead of rethinking them

    • The difference between pilots that learn vs. pilots that waste time

    • Why AI doesn't replace great marketers, it amplifies them

    • How marketing orgs can cut campaign timelines in half (real-world example)

    • Why experimentation, not tools, is the real AI advantage

    • What skills will keep marketers employable over the next 5 years

    • How AI changes the relationship between marketing, sales, and leadership

    • Why AGI isn't the benchmark people think it is

    • The Octopus Organization model for building truly AI-native companies

    Steve shares practical frameworks, real case studies, and a clear roadmap for CMOs, VPs, and marketers who want results and not hype.
