"Braze has a strong commitment to inclusivity that is woven into the fabric of its culture."

In the interview, Kevin shares his journey from a small French village to supporting our marketing initiatives across EMEA, including our City x City London event. For Kevin, allyship is an active verb. It means listening, educating, and taking a stand, even when it may be difficult. At Braze, that is brought to life in many ways, including: 🌍Pride@Braze, our LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group that fosters global connection and advocacy. 👂Benefits and policies that take into account diverse perspectives and experiences. 🤝Creating a culture where inclusion is practiced daily and is built into business processes.

AI is rewriting the playbook for marketers, and Kevin Wang, Chief Product Officer at Braze, just broke down what that actually means in MarTech. 🟣 Get your time back. Those tedious manual tasks eating up your day? AI's got them. Which means more bandwidth for the strategy and creativity that actually moves the needle. 🟣 Work with your own AI crew. Picture this: a team of AI agents working for you. One nailing personalization, another QAing campaigns, another cranking out translations. It's like having your own crew of digital specialists on speed dial. 🟣 Make real 1:1 personalization happen. AI decisioning is finally making it possible at scale. Real optimization: right message, right channel, right time, right frequency for every single person. No more settling for segments. Bottom line: AI is moving fast, and what works today might not tomorrow. Kevin's article walks you through how to stay nimble. Think regular check-ins, quick pivots, and treating this as a marathon, not a sprint. Get the full breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/gHjgmpbx
