When your AI agents don鈥檛 speak the same data, chaos follows. Siloed tools, mismatched metrics, and fragmented systems kill collaboration鈥攁nd intelligence. To make AI work for marketing, you need more than automation. You need a shared foundation that lets systems reason, align, and act as one.
At this year鈥檚 Gartner 黑料社入口 Symposium, one message came through loud and clear: marketing leaders are under mounting pressure to do more鈥攚ith less. And prove it.
Customer expectations and behaviors are shifting. Resources are tightening. And AI has emerged as both a promise and a puzzle: everyone鈥檚 experimenting with generative tools, yet very few are building the infrastructure to scale them systemically.
It鈥檚 a credibility challenge as much as a capability one. Two-thirds of CMOs say they struggle to prove the value of marketing to their CEO1, even as expectations for AI-driven innovation and measurable impact continue to rise.
Marketers are using AI to automate tasks from content creation to audience segmentation and campaign optimization, but they鈥檙e still operating in silos. Tools aren鈥檛 connected. Data isn鈥檛 aligned. And the real opportunity of AI鈥攖o transform how marketing works, not just what it produces鈥攊s being lost in translation.
The marketing ecosystem isn鈥檛 just made up of campaigns and tools. It鈥檚 made up of data: every campaign brief, platform signal, creative asset, KPI, investment, media plan, and outcome metric. It鈥檚 the sum of everything your organization creates and uses to operate, make decisions and move forward.
This data is often fragmented, redundant, mislabeled, or locked in static formats, making it nearly impossible for AI to draw consistent conclusions, let alone collaborate across functions. And this matters more than ever. Because in an agentic future, AI won鈥檛 just generate content or optimize bids. It will work autonomously across functions. And without a shared structure or language, these agents won鈥檛 be collaborators. They will be chaotic. Junk in, junk out, on steroids.
Gartner underscored a key truth: measurement is foundational, but it鈥檚 often misunderstood. Many CMOs still view it solely as a reporting function; how we track ROI or communicate results. But in an AI-powered ecosystem, measurement becomes something even more critical: a system of shared meaning, from language to logic.
It defines the metrics, signals, and feedback loops that AI agents will use to reason, plan, and act. It鈥檚 not just how we analyze performance鈥攊t鈥檚 how we enable intelligence.
And yet, the foundation is shaky. According to Gartner, 70% of marketing leaders struggle to measure the ROI of their marketing efforts, a signal that even basic alignment between business objectives and marketing metrics remains a major hurdle. Unsurprisingly, this gap makes it difficult to validate success, scale what works, or evolve strategy with new technology.
Without this foundation:
With it, you create a single source of truth that powers not just reporting, but smarter decisions, faster collaboration, and system-level automation.
At Mevo, we鈥檝e built a domain-specific data platform for marketers because we believe the future of marketing AI starts with the data it鈥檚 built on.
The Mevo Data Platform unifies, cleans, and contextualizes data across the entire stack from CRM and media to measurement and creative, and structures it to support system-level intelligence. It doesn鈥檛 just fix what鈥檚 broken. It redefines how work happens.
Mevo prepares your entire ecosystem for agentic collaboration, where AI tools can reason, align, and act together toward shared goals.
At Mevo, we believe the future of marketing AI isn鈥檛 about scaling what already works. It鈥檚 about enabling a new kind of intelligence; one that can drive growth, creativity, and impact in ways we鈥檝e only just begun to imagine.
When data is structured, connected, and infused with shared meaning, AI stops being just a tool for optimization. It becomes a catalyst for discovery, uncovering new patterns of behavior, surfacing untapped opportunities, and reshaping how brands connect with people in more relevant and resonant ways.
