New York, NY — July 24, 2023 — Persado, the Motivation Artificial Intelligence (AI) company that generates high-performing content at scale, has launched Motivation AI Matters, the first-ever podcast focusing on the use of AI in marketing. Hosted by Alex Olesen, Vice President of Vertical Strategy & Product Marketing at Persado, the podcast delves into the challenges and changes faced within professional marketing, the rapidly evolving growth of Generative AI, and why Motivation AI matters.

“By 2025, 30% of outbound marketing messages from large organizations will be synthetically generated (Gartner).
