# Praise

> What go-to-market leaders, founders and investors say about Tim Rutten and his work.

> Plenty of CMOs talk about going AI-native. Tim has actually rebuilt a marketing org around it, and he shows the receipts in every issue.
>
> — Carilu Dietrich, GTM Partner, a16z; former CMO, Atlassian

> Tim is defining the frontier of using AI in marketing - and driving real impact with it
>
> — Luke Harries, Head of Growth, ElevenLabs

> Every issue gives me something I can bring to my team on Monday. No hype, just what is working at scale.
>
> — Kyle Lacy, CMO, Docebo

> Tim is one of the few operators doing this work at real scale and sharing it openly. Required reading for every go-to-market leader.
>
> — Sam Jacobs, Founder & CEO, Pavilion

> As a sales leader I do not read many marketing newsletters. I read this one, because it is about pipeline and the operating model behind it.
>
> — Jenny Dingus, SVP Global Sales, Clio

> I am massively AI-pilled, and Tim really knows his stuff. I took a ton of notes, and he gave me a lot to think about.
>
> — Kyle Norton, Host, The Revenue Leadership Podcast; CRO, Lassie

> Most AI-native talk stops at the demo. Tim writes about the architecture underneath it: the data, the governance, and what you have to get right before the agents are useful.
>
> — Nitin Chopra, CIO & CISO, Docebo

> I have spent fifteen years building growth engines. Tim is one of the very few CMOs rebuilding one from scratch with AI at the core, and writing down exactly how.
>
> — Guillaume Cabane, Co-founder & GP, HyperGrowth Partners; former VP Growth, Segment & Drift

> Tim writes for leaders who have to make the call, not just admire the technology. Honest about the trade-offs, specific about what to do next.
>
> — Linda Tong, CEO, Webflow

> Tim treats marketing as a data and systems problem, which is exactly what it has become. Every issue is grounded in something he has actually shipped.
>
> — Elizabeth Dobbs, AVP Marketing Technology, Data & Growth, Databricks

> Tim understands what it actually takes to run a business on AI, not just add it on top. His writing is the closest thing to a playbook for CMOs who want to do the same.
>
> — Minna Song, Co-founder & CEO, EliseAI

> One insight from Tim changed everything: AI-native is not a tool you add, it is a different way of running the company. We rebuilt how Gold Front works around it, and the agency is leading its category as a result.
>
> — Josh Lowman, Founder, Gold Front

> We work with B2B go-to-market teams every day, and most are still bolting AI onto a broken funnel. Tim shows what it looks like to redesign the whole system around it, from pipeline to revenue.
>
> — Vladimir Blagojevic, Co-founder, FullFunnel

> Tim never treats marketing as lead generation. He writes about it as a revenue system, with sales, data and AI working together, and he backs every idea with numbers from his own team.
>
> — Andrei Zinkevich, Co-founder, FullFunnel
