This episode of The Agentic Marketer features an interview with Leslie Alore, Chief Marketing Officer at Flexera, a technology company that helps organizations gain full visibility into their software and technology spend across increasingly complex tech stacks.

Leslie shares how her team at Flexera is adopting agentic marketing by pairing human marketers with AI agents to scale impact, improve buyer experience, and operate more efficiently. From using AI agents for content creation and research to piloting an AI SDR to qualify demand and book meetings, she offers a candid look at what’s working, what’s still experimental, and where marketers should start.

The conversation explores why experimentation is still essential in the AI era, how buyer expectations are shifting toward instant, zero-click experiences, and why marketers now need to think not only about human personas—but AI as an audience as well. Leslie also shares her perspective on managing AI agents like teammates, the skills marketing leaders need to double down on, and what’s coming next as AI becomes monetized and embedded into buyer journeys.

Key Takeaways

  • Start with fast, low-risk AI wins. Leslie recommends content creation and ideation as the easiest entry point for marketers looking to adopt AI and see immediate value.

  • AI agents can improve buyer experience, not diminish it. Flexera’s AI SDR helps weed out noise, respond instantly, and route high-intent buyers more effectively, resulting in increased meeting bookings.

  • Experimenting is still leading with AI. Leslie emphasizes that marketing has always been experimental, and AI is simply the next layer marketers must test, refine, and operationalize over time.

  • Marketers must learn to market to AI, not just humans. As buyers increasingly rely on AI interfaces, content must be discoverable, interpretable, and prioritized by AI systems, not just optimized for clicks.

  • AI agents require ownership and management. Treating agents as part of the team means continuously training, monitoring, and assigning clear accountability for performance.
  • The future of marketing blends people, agencies, and agents. Leslie outlines how modern marketing organizations will increasingly rely on AI agents alongside human teams to scale insight, speed, and execution.
