Google is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire Wiz for $23B, which would be Google’s biggest acquisition ever. Founded only 52 months ago in March 2020 by the former team behind Adallom (acquired by Microsoft for $310M), Wiz has emerged as the newest cloud security platform — a rare breed as a platform versus a point solution. So why is Google interested? Read more on Chris Z.'s Substack, Data Gravity: https://lnkd.in/eUWvARs7

Wondering where the human fits in the AI content loop? We break it down for you here: 1️⃣ Strategy: Human insight is key. We do NOT recommend you outsource your thinking. 2️⃣ Initial Creation: AI takes over on the first draft, cutting 80% of the time of the content creation process 3️⃣ Editing & Polish: Humans ensure quality (usually 30 mins/1000 words is what's needed to keep content high quality) 4️⃣ Distribution: This is a human part -- Remember, AI can't publish itself 😉 By letting AI handle the time-consuming initial draft, we save 5-6 hours per post without sacrificing quality. This approach leads to same-day turnarounds on long-form posts 🤯 (For example, our Head of Content Strategy recorded this video at breakfast and will have a Blog post, LinkedIn post, and YouTube description ready by lunch). Curious? Reach out and join us for what we believe is the future forward for B2B content marketing! #ContentMarketing #AI #Efficiency #CopyAI #HumanInTheLoop #MarketingStrategy

Introducing Future Proofed: The Exec Playbook for GTM AI (led by Kyle Coleman) Over the past few months, our team has had countless conversations with go-to-market leaders who are excited to implement meaningful AI solutions into their businesses. There's just one problem: they don't know where to start. But now, you have a concrete place to learn. This Substack is run by Kyle Coleman, our CMO and a GTM leader who needs no introduction. It's application-only and meant for VPs or C-suite roles who want to understand how AI extends beyond Co-Pilots and creates meaningful systems that *actually* show a positive ROI. This is exclusive content, meaning these newsletters will not be found in any other corner of the web until the release of an upcoming project in September 👀 So, if you are a go-to-market leader in a VP or C-suite role, and you want the first glimpse of how AI will be the future of GTM strategy, be sure to join (a link to the first newsletter is in the comments!). #gtm #gotomarket #gotomarketai #salesautomation #marketingautomation #ai #gtmai
