AI For Marketing Panel Discussion

Learn how local businesses are using AI to improve marketing, create content, reach customers, and save time. AI is changing marketing fast, but the interesting question isn’t what AI can do. It’s what businesses are actually using it for right now. Join us for an AI for Marketing Panel Discussion featuring three local professionals who are putting AI to work in marketing, content creation, customer engagement, and business growth. Our panelists bring three different perspectives: • Jesse Delgado — Storyline Media Group • Justin Mendez — GreyDot Marketing • Jason Wang — Votrix AI We’ll talk about how AI is changing the way businesses create content, reach customers, automate marketing tasks, and decide where to spend their time and money. We’ll also get into what’s working, what isn’t, and where human creativity still matters. Expect a practical conversation rather than a parade of AI buzzwords. We’ll discuss real tools, real workflows, lessons learned, and ideas you can take back to your own business. What We’ll Cover We’ll explore topics including AI-assisted content creation, social media and digital marketing, customer targeting and personalization, marketing automation, video and creative production, measuring ROI, and how small businesses can get started without building an enormous AI tech stack. We’ll also talk about the limitations of AI and where relying too heavily on automation can actually make your marketing worse. Schedule 6:00–6:30 PM — Networking Meet other business owners, entrepreneurs, marketers, and AI-curious people from the region. 6:30–7:30 PM — Panel Discussion Hear how our panelists are using AI in their businesses and what they’ve learned along the way. 7:30–8:00 PM — Audience Q&A Bring your questions.

And yes, in keeping with the finest traditions of startup events, cold pizza and warm water will be provided. Come for the AI. Stay for the questionable catering decisions. This event is sponsored by the City of Rancho Cordova and Frequency Coworking as part of the Rancho Cordova AI for Business Workshop Series. Whether you’re a small business owner, entrepreneur, marketer, nonprofit leader, or simply trying to figure out how AI fits into your work, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can experiment with the next day.
