Customer discovery is shifting from search and sites to AI-mediated journeys.
‍Smaller, faster players are outpacing established brands—not through spend, but through speed and automation.

— What changes in roles, governance, sourcing, and measurement are unavoidable.

This white paper is grounded in real OEM constraints—not theory. It combines strategy consulting depth with AI-native implementation expertise, bridging the gap between ambition and execution.
