Technical Literacy for Marketing Leaders
You don't need to code. You need to stop nodding along when vendors say “AI-powered” and developers say “that's impossible.”
This is for marketing leaders who:
- Sit in product meetings and can't tell good tech from theater
- Review vendor demos and can't separate real AI from rebadged automation
- Brief developers and get timeline estimates that make no sense
- Approve martech budgets without knowing what you're actually buying

Here's What's Costing You Money
These scenarios happen every day. And they're expensive.
"3-Month Integration Timeline"
You approved it. You don't know if it's real or if your dev team just doesn't want to do it.
"AI-Powered Personalization"
You're paying $50K/year. It's doing basic if/then rules your intern could build.
"API Rate Limits Exceeded"
Your campaign failed. You have no idea what that means or how to prevent it next time.
