Introduction

In today's marketing landscape, many professionals face a pressing concern: while AI implementation has undoubtedly increased operational efficiency, has it truly translated into business growth? This critical question looms large as companies navigate the complexities of integrating AI into their strategies effectively.

At the forefront of this discussion is Frontier Inc., the company behind Ready Crew, a leading business matching platform, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. On April 21, 2026, in an event titled “RE: Marketing! vol.1 - What are we Actually Doing for Business Contribution in the AI Era?”, Takayuki Iwata, the Marketing Manager at Frontier Inc., will delve into redefining the value of marketers in the age of AI.

The Intersection of AI and Human Value

As AI increasingly automates tasks that were once the domain of humans, the core question arises: if AI is taking over mundane tasks, what unique contributions can humans still make? Ready Crew posits a straightforward survival strategy for the current climate:

1. Automate Routine Tasks: Use AI to handle research, data analysis, report generation, and other administrative functions efficiently.
2. Focus on Dialogue: Redirect the time saved by automation toward meaningful conversations aimed at uncovering the underlying, often unarticulated concerns of clients. This way, marketers can build trust and rapport that AI simply cannot replicate.

In the end, it is the contextual selling, based on nuances and human relationships, that truly drives business contributions and sales.

Event Highlights and Practical Insights

The upcoming event is expected to offer valuable perspectives from three distinguished guests in a panel discussion format. Rather than engaging in abstract theorizing, the panelists will present actionable insights on how companies can utilize AI tools effectively. Attendees can expect discussions on:

• - How AI is Being Integrated: Real-world examples of businesses that have successfully adopted AI into their marketing practices.
• - Changing Roles and Responsibilities: How AI has shifted job roles within teams and transformed marketing methodologies.
• - Driving Results Beyond Efficiency: Strategies for connecting efficiency gains to tangible business outcomes.
