The Marketing AI SparkCast brings to you the Marketing AI Pulse Monthly Brief that curates the most relevant stories and examines the implications for CMOs and marketing leaders. This episode is the March 2026 edition of the Monthly Brief and focuses on the rise of agentic AI, lagging enterprise adoption, and the growing importance of trust, governance, and brand visibility in an AI-driven marketing landscape. Aby Varma and Matt Cyr explore the following topics: (a) NVIDIA and agentic infrastructure : A look at NVIDIA’s introduction of standardized build and run layers for AI agents, signaling a shift from generative AI to execution-driven systems and what this means for marketing workflows. (b) AI adoption gap : An analysis of why only a small percentage of organizations have fully implemented AI in marketing operations, despite widespread experimentation, and what CMOs must do to operationalize AI effectively. (c) FedEx and agentic workflows : A look at how enterprise organizations are deploying multi-agent systems to coordinate campaign execution, and how this signals a transformation in marketing operating models.
