Here’s what Brian Solis, global head of innovation at ServiceNow, keynote speaker, and best-selling author of eight books, has to say about the inspiration for his work.
For anyone working in marketing, sales, or service, it’s easy to forget that there’s a real person on the other side of every interaction, especially in a digital and AI-first world. But Brian’s goal is to bring humanity back to marketing.

“Once you learn more about the person you’re trying to reach,” he says, “the sale, nurturing or conversation will happen.”
Brian is a practicing futurist and digital anthropologist who believes artificial intelligence can bring marketers closer to people.

“If you look at technology differently, as investing in relationships and meaningful outcomes,” you’ll get exponential returns, he said.
