(uploaded May 16, 2026) consisting of a single-speaker presentation about four levels of AI marketing maturity: Level 1 — unacceptable; Level 2 — capable (using tools like Claude for scheduling, spreadsheet analysis, basic work); Level 3 — adoptive (recommended: AI performs tasks like keyword research or generating many ads and humans review); and Level 4 — transformative (closed-loop, self-improving systems). The speaker explains examples and argues most teams should aim for Level 3 because what’s “capable” today will be unacceptable tomorrow.

There are really 4 levels when it comes to AI marketing. 90% of teams are stuck at level 1. Here's how you jump to level 3. Level 1, unacceptable. Level 2 is capable. Level 3 is adoptive. And level 4 is transformative. Capable now means that you are using like Claude Cowork, for example, you're using to maybe schedule things for yourself. You're using it to analyze your spreadsheets quickly. Okay. You're using for actual real work, not just at, you know, base level. Then you have adoptive. Which is where we want most people to go. You're inputting something into AI and you're having it do the keyword research for you, or you're having it create like 200 ads for you at the same time. The human asks for something, the AI does the work, the human reviews. That is adoptive. Transformative means you have a closed loop where the system is improving on itself recursively. That's why you want most people to get to adoptive, because today's capable is tomorrow's unacceptable.
