"Marketing is one of the most fundamental activities in business: you make something, then you have to make people care about it. AI is on the verge of transforming that second part entirely.
Profound has the opportunity to be the company that brings AI to marketing and, in doing so, redefine one of the world's largest and most interesting industries," said @thejamescad, Co-founder & CEO of Profound
We're heading to DMEXCO - Digital Marketing Expo & Conference in Cologne, Germany.
Oisin Lunny (Co-founder of Galaxy of OM) is moderating a panel with Florian Jacquier (Global Head, Digital Marketing Data & Technologies at Nestlé) and Marlon Hills (VP, Sales EMEA) to share what AI marketing adoption looks like at enterprise scale.
Thursday, September 24
11:50 AM – 12:10 PM CEST
Centre Stage, DMEXCO
Later that day, Jordan Maahs (Solutions Consultant) joins Marlon in the CMO Lounge for an invite-only roundtable on building an AI marketing strategy that wins in AI Search.
If you're attending DMEXCO, stop by Booth K20 in the Marketing Hall to meet the team.
We've raised a $180M Series D, co-led by @sequoia and @kleinerperkins.
Winning in AI Search requires an inhuman amount of work. We're building the AI platform for marketers to do it, underpinned by two things:
• Your AI Marketer, a marketing expert that investigates your data, identifies opportunities, and does the work while you stay in the loop.
• Context Manager, a living synthesis of your meetings, email threads, and brand data. As your brand evolves, so does your AI Marketer.
We're also expanding our applied AI research team to advance AI for marketing: post-training models for marketing workflows, and the first AI benchmark for real-world tasks in the field.
Meet the first three judges for our San Francisco Marketing Engineering Hackathon on October 3.
• @hhsayshello, Chief Marketing Officer at @Plaid
• Chad Lancaster, Marketing Director, AI at @Google
• Suzanne Holloway, Operating Partner at @kleinerperkins
More judges to be announced.
Applications close September 20 to win $40,000 in prizes.
Excited to share @profound has raised a $180M Series D, co-led by @sequoia and @kleinerperkins.
Winning in AI Search requires an inhuman amount of work. That is why we are building the AI platform for marketers, underpinned by two things:
1/ Your AI Marketer, a marketing expert that proactively investigates your data, identifies opportunities, and then does the work while you stay in the loop.
2/ Context Manager, a living synthesis of your meetings, email threads, and brand data powering this new teammate. As your brand evolves, so does your AI Marketer.
AI labs are pushing the frontier in fields like engineering, law, and finance. But marketing, one of the economy's most complex and consequential applications, has received far less attention.
That’s why we’re expanding our applied AI research team. We’re bringing together research scientists, engineers, and IOI medalists to advance AI for marketing. Their focus: post-training models for marketing workflows, and building the world's first AI benchmark for real-world tasks in the field.
Introducing Sheets Templates.
The most common workflows teams are running in Sheets now come packaged as ready-to-go templates, each pre-loaded with the right Agent, columns, and sample data.
Available today for all Profound customers.

Announcing our partnership with @esteelauderco to deploy Profound to its full global brand portfolio, operationalizing AI marketing at scale.

We're partnering with @google and @lightspeedvp to host our next $40,000 Marketing Engineering Hackathon at our office in San Francisco.
Forty builders. Two winners. One day.
The brief: find a marketing process that's inhuman in scope or scale, and ship a system or an agent that runs it.

New research with @poyark of Growth Unhinged: what AI agents really think about your pricing.
We tested 7,600 AI responses to pricing prompts to find that:
• Owned pricing pages appear in 46% of answers, but are cited first in only 12%
• Only 57 of 77 public pricing pages were readable to AI crawlers
• Vendr, Reddit, and G2 shape what AI says about your pricing
