Agentic AI Discussed as Marketing Tool at ADWEEK Panel
At an ADWEEK House Possible group chat co-hosted with Mutinex on May 5, 2026, adtech and brand leaders discussed how agentic AI is being applied across marketing funnels. Panelists — including representatives from PubMatic, The Hershey Company, Breeze Airways and Mutinex — emphasized that a strong data foundation is required before applying AI, that AI can free teams from routine work to focus on strategy, and that human judgment (taste, creativity, oversight) must remain central. Hershey described speeding media-mix-model data preparation from six months to 24 hours after working with Mutinex. The session highlighted practical uses (measurement, workflow speed, creative production) and cautioned against over-automation.
