AI Agents for Lean Marketing Teams: Lessons from Two Operators

Are you the only marketer at your company, with a plan written for five? You know AI agents could help fill the gap, but you’re still figuring out how to put them to work.

Matt McKinney is VEN’s only marketer, and he runs GTM with a system of AI agents he built himself. Justine Sakowicz, founder of Compound Loop and former Head of Marketing at Glowforge, builds AI-native marketing agents and workflows for high-growth startups.

You’ll learn from practitioners doing this work and leave knowing what agents need to work like a marketing hire, and how to give them that context.

On stage

Matt McKinney, Head of Marketing at Venture Executive Network (VEN). He'll walk through the agent system he uses to run GTM on his own, with real examples.

In the room
