AI Is Reshaping Marketing Faster Than Most Teams Can Adapt
The AI revolution in marketing isn't coming. It's here.
And the gap between marketers who understand how to leverage AI and those still figuring it out is widening rapidly.
Kathleen Ross, Keynote Speaker and Fractional CMO at Kathleen Ross Creative, will emcee the DSN Marketing Deep Dive and host an extended workshop designed to close that gap—fast.

Why an Extended Workshop?
This isn't a 20-minute overview of AI buzzwords. Kathleen is dedicating extended time to ensure you leave with more than inspiration—you'll leave with implementation.
Her workshop format is designed to deliver:
Actionable Strategies
Not theory. Not someday. Strategies you can deploy immediately.
Real-World Examples
See how direct selling companies are actually using AI right now to drive results.
Confidence to Execute
Overcome the intimidation factor and gain the confidence to leverage AI in your marketing stack.
What You'll Learn
Current AI Trends Reshaping Marketing
Kathleen will cut through the noise to show you what's actually working right now and what's on the horizon. You'll understand which AI tools deserve your attention and which are still immature.
From generative content creation to predictive analytics, from personalization at scale to automated campaign optimization—Kathleen will show you the landscape as it exists today, not as it was described in last year's webinar.
Practical Applications for Direct Selling
Generic AI advice doesn't work in direct selling. Compliance matters. Field empowerment matters. Brand consistency across thousands of independent representatives matters.
Kathleen will demonstrate how to integrate AI tools into your daily marketing operations while respecting the unique dynamics of the direct selling model.
What's Next in AI Marketing: 2026 and Beyond
AI is evolving rapidly. What works today might be obsolete in six months—or might become the foundation of your competitive advantage for the next decade.
Kathleen will help you develop the judgment to separate signal from noise, to invest wisely and to stay ahead of the curve as technology continues to evolve. Understanding AI marketing 2026 trends means preparing for both immediate implementation and long-term strategic positioning.
What You'll Learn
Whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting, Kathleen's workshop will meet you where you are and push you forward.
If you're just getting started, you'll gain clarity on where to begin and how to avoid costly mistakes.
If you're already using AI tools, you'll discover advanced applications and optimization strategies to multiply your impact.
AI isn't optional anymore. The question isn't whether to use it—it's how to use it strategically, responsibly and effectively.
