AI With a Heart: Why Emotional Intelligence Is the Key to Marketing’s Future

What happens to marketing when the audience is a machine? AI agents are already negotiating with AI agents. This isn't a channel shift. It's a participant shift. And the window to prepare is measured in months, not decades.
