AI TOP STORY

Why Culture Will Determine the AI Winners in 2025

It's Time To Stop Piloting & Start Embedding

It’s easy to assume that the companies winning with AI have better tools. But more often than not, it’s not the tools, it’s the culture.

AI is already embedded in most marketing departments. It’s in the stack. It’s in the strategy. But in many teams, it’s still sitting on the sidelines—rarely integrated into core processes, often treated as an experiment that only a few are allowed to run. It’s there, but not trusted. Discussed, but not used meaningfully. That gap isn’t technical, it’s behavioural.

The organisations seeing results have made AI part of how things get done. It’s not an event or initiative. It’s a working habit. They use it to test messaging, generate creative variations, draft content faster, and uncover insights that would’ve taken hours. And they do it consistently, not occasionally. It’s baked into the daily rhythm, not saved for a once-a-quarter campaign sprint.

What makes that possible isn’t better access to tools. It’s leadership that encourages curiosity. Teams are trusted to try things without asking for permission. People are rewarded for experimentation, not just efficiency. There’s less hesitation, more iteration. That’s what creates momentum.

It also lowers the cost of trying something new. When AI isn’t a high-stakes gamble but a normal part of building, teams get bolder. They stop waiting for perfect inputs and start focusing on useful outputs. That shift opens up more creative thinking, more surface area for testing, and more opportunities to surprise yourself with what works.

The pattern is clear. Wherever AI is making a real difference, there’s a mindset behind it that makes room for change. That mindset doesn’t show up automatically. It has to be built—and it has to be led.

Because it’s not the technology that turns AI into a marketing advantage.
It’s the culture that surrounds it.

AI TOOL OF THE WEEK

Smarter data capture from the messiest docs with Agentic Document Extraction

DocuSign’s AI Contract Agents move beyond keyword search and clause matching by applying reasoning, memory, and agentic behavior to every contract interaction—helping teams draft, negotiate, and manage documents faster and with more confidence.

Why It’s Useful

Contracts are high-stakes, high-complexity documents—and most AI tools still treat them like text files. DocuSign’s AI Agents bring structure, strategy, and speed to contract workflows. They don’t just find the right clause—they understand what it means in context, suggest better language, and flag potential issues. Perfect for legal, procurement, sales ops, and any team that needs contract intelligence, not just automation.

Key Features:

Multi-Agent Coordination – Different AI agents handle specific tasks like contract review, clause extraction, redlining, and negotiation assistance—all working together across the contract lifecycle.

Clause-Level Reasoning – Understands the meaning, risk, and intent behind each clause, not just the wording—allowing smarter redlines and negotiation support.

Contract Memory – Keeps a running knowledge of how your organization handles terms, preferences, and past decisions—so the AI gets smarter over time.

Risk & Obligation Analysis – Highlights potential exposure and missed obligations, even when phrasing is ambiguous or non-standard.

Works Across Systems – Connects with your existing CRM, procurement, and legal tools to automate contract management end-to-end.
