SQ Stack Quarterly Quarterly deep dives on the tools real teams actually ship with.

AI Marketing

We cover the AI marketing beat differently than most publications. Most coverage of “AI marketing” treats it as a marketing-strategy discipline: how to think about generative content, how to position an AI capability in messaging, how to structure a campaign around an LLM. We do not cover any of that.

What we cover is the technical stack underneath an AI marketing system: the orchestration, the memory, the brand-voice constraints in code, the tool-use patterns for the marketing context, the integrations with CMS and CDP and ad-buying APIs, and the auditability story for a marketing system that ships copy to a paying customer.

The piece in the archive that defines the beat best is Ginger’s “AI Marketing Stacks That Don’t Suck” — the working marketing-engineering teams’ actual stack, with the credible pitches separated from the not-credible ones. Vendor coverage on this beat carries an inline disclosure where relevant.
