About SmarterX

SmarterX was introduced by Paul Roetzer in 2022 as the consulting arm of Marketing AI Institute, and spun out as its own company in 2024.

While we offer limited consulting and advisory services, the SmarterX business model is designed to prioritize one-to-many initiatives that affect the largest number of leaders and organizations possible, as quickly as possible. 

SmarterX looks to drive efficiencies, productivity, innovation, and growth in all areas of business, but focuses on marketing, sales, and service as the primary drivers of value creation. 

Marketing AI Institute continues to cater to marketing practitioners and leaders through content, courses and events, including the Marketing AI Conference (MAICON), its flagship annual event. 

Marketing AI Institute and SmarterX are owned and operated by SmarterX Ventures, LLC.
