Hector shares insider data from over 1,000 sponsored campaigns, revealing a 37% price increase in just 12 months and the "shockingly bad" CPM metrics that brands are willing to pay. The conversation explores the delicate balance between AI-powered content creation and authentic human storytelling, the death of traditional outbound marketing, and Hector's contrarian view that AI has already delivered 80% of its dramatic improvements. With insights from building companies from scratch using no-code tools and predictions about the future of SaaS pricing, this episode provides actionable frameworks for GTM leaders navigating the intersection of AI and human creativity.
