The excerpt is a monologue by a speaker who cites Kieran Flanagan (VP of Marketing at HubSpot) and summarizes Flanagan's view that marketing in the AI era will polarize: only two types of marketers will thrive—standout creatives who produce unforgettable creative, and engineer-led marketers who use AI to personalize and scale—because software is multiplying while distribution is shrinking, so marketers must deliver extreme value.

Kieran Flanagan, so he's the VP of marketing at HubSpot. So he said marketing in the AI era is a game of extremes. Average no longer cuts it. Only 2 types of marketers will thrive. One, standout creatives who craft unforgettable creative. 2, engineer-led marketers who leverage AI to personalize and scale like never before. Why? Because software is multiplying, but distribution is shrinking. That's something that's worth talking about. To win, you must deliver extreme value. The middle will disappear fast. I think the distribution is shrinking thing is very real.
