AI isn’t coming for marketing, it’s already here. In Episode 3 of Mantra After Hours, we unpack what AI really means for marketers today, beyond the buzzwords and panic headlines. From smarter workflows to faster creativity, we explore how adaptability has become the most valuable skill in modern marketing.

This episode dives into how marketers can work with AI (not against it), why multi-skilled teams are winning, and how staying curious, flexible, and human is the real competitive edge in an AI-driven world. Whether you’re a strategist, creative, or brand builder, this conversation is about evolving with the industry, not being left behind.

In this episode, we cover:

• AI’s real role in marketing today
• Why adaptability beats specialisation
• How to future-proof your marketing skill set
• What AI can’t replace (and why that matters)

Marketing is changing. The question is - are you adapting fast enough?
