 We’ve made it to Step 5—the final step in the Moments-Based Marketing series! And honestly, it’s the one that separates good strategy from real impact. You can have the cleanest stack, the smartest journeys, modular content, and AI in play—but if your strategy dies in a spreadsheet, none of it reaches customers (or revenue). That’s why Step 5 focused on turning moments-based strategy into revenue-critical action: faster execution, tighter feedback loops, and clearer alignment to business outcomes.In Step 5, we were joined by

We’re continuing our Moments-Based Marketing series—and Step 4 tackles one of the most important questions teams are facing right now: How to actually use AI day to day without losing clarity, confidence, or creativity.Quick rewind:Step 1 helped us get our data in order.

Step 3 tackled content at scale.  In Step 4: Put AI to Work with Human-Led Expertise, the conversation shifted from AI potential to AI practice.We were joined by Shweta Puri, Sr. Product Manager, Marketing Technology at Nextdoor, Erin Kelsh,

We’re officially halfway through our Moments-Based Marketing series— and each step has been building toward this one. Step 1 gave us the data. Step 2 reimagined our journeys. And now—Step 3—introduces the layer that brings personalization to life: ✨ content that can scale. Because even with rich data and smart, adaptive journeys, everything collapses if the content can’t keep up. In Step 3, we dug into the one thing every marketer wishes they had more of: content that scales without burning out your team.

Scribd—the digital reading company behind Everand, Slideshare, and Fable—set out to do more than attract new users. They wanted to keep readers engaged, turning first-time visitors into lifelong learners.But scaling personalized engagement across millions of readers and multiple brands was no easy read. Their data pipeline slowed every update, and launching new campaigns often meant weeks of back-and-forth between teams.That’s when Scribd rewrote the story with Iterable’s Smart Ingest, AI, and Embedded Messaging—transforming data challenges into moments of meaningful connection.Scribd

Marketers have been building journeys for years. Okay, maybe not for 84 years, but let’s be honest — it’s about time journeys start building themselves!In Step 2 of our Moments-Based Marketing series, we explored how to finally let those journeys build themselves, learning, adapting, and evolving with every customer action. Jeanette Woodburn (Senior Marketing Operations Manager, Iterable), Mara Cohen (CRM Manager, ATG Entertainment), and Steven Aldrich (SVP of Marketing Services, Ragnarok

Marketers love talking about data — but few are actually using it.In Step 1 of our Moments-Based Marketing series, we partnered with Nate Wardwell from Hightouch and Aoife O’Driscoll from WHOOP to show what it really takes to build a flexible, future-ready data foundation for intelligent, real-time marketing.WHOOP, the 24/7 wearable health and fitness coach, showed how even data-rich brands can get stuck when access is limited and activation relies on engineering.  They redesigned their stack and went from relying on anal

Marketing’s comfort zone? Gone. AI lit the match, privacy poured the fuel, and data gravity pulled it all together. The result? A marketing landscape that’s faster, smarter, and far less forgiving to teams stuck in yesterday’s playbook.In Iterable’s latest blog post, Holly Clare unpacks Snowflake’s 2025 Marketing Data Report, and it’s a wake-up call for every marketer still relying on yesterday’s stack.Here’s the short version (take notes!):  1.

Wolt, the Helsinki-based delivery tech company operating in 30+ countries, had a tall order: how do you keep campaigns personal when you’re catering to both B2B and B2C segments at a massive global scale?  Their top priority? Turning brand-new users into loyal customers within the first 30 days.The reality? Personalization at global scale wasn’t easy. Hours wasted cloning templates. Painful manual localization. Hundreds of campaigns just to keep up across 30+ countries. Instead of settling, Wolt rebuilt their marketing engine with
