In this episode of the Bold Brand Show host Josh Miles sits down with Michelle Ott, CPSM, Vice President Marketing Operations at JE Dunn Construction, to explore how AI and marketing operations are transforming AEC proposals and firm growth.
Michelle shares an inside look at how one of the nation’s top contractors is rethinking proposal strategy, freeing marketing teams from the constant pursuit treadmill, and using AI to create more scalable, strategic impact.
We discuss:
– How AI is changing AEC proposals (and what won’t change)
– The role of marketing operations in scaling large construction firms
– How AI helps marketing teams focus on strategy instead of production
– What AEC leaders need to understand about the future of marketing
This conversation is a must-watch for AEC marketers, firm leaders, principals, and business development teams who want to modernize their approach to growth without losing what makes their firm competitive.
