What if your marketing team could do everything on their pipeline, without sacrificing quality? That’s exactly what Kostas Zachoudanis, Director of Marketing, is building at Ultimate Group – he’s leading an AI-first, insight-led marketing operation for six global events.
In this episode, he shares how he connects marketing and content into one powerhouse function, repurposes event content into high-value assets, and leads a team that blends speed, authority, and the human touch.
Kostas oversees a team of eight marketers plus the conference content team. With 16 years’ experience in global events and B2B marketing, he’s led teams across Asia, UAE, Africa, Latin America, and Europe - and has pioneered approaches to content strategy, in-house capability building, and AI adoption that accelerate results without losing creativity.
