How Turo Uses AI Agents to Catch Marketing Mistakes Before Customers Do
Session Summary
In this session from MoEngage’s Agentic Marketing Tour, Steven House (Sr. Marketing Technology Manager at Turo) shares how his team leverages Merlin AI agents in MoEngage to catch critical campaign errors before customers ever see them. Following a comprehensive overhaul of their data foundation, Turo deployed AI agents to manage campaign reporting, holdout checks, and initial campaign drafts from agency briefs. The true impact of agentic AI was proven when an agent identified a broken segment filter that human teams missed. Steven details how lean marketing organizations can use AI agents to eliminate operational blind spots, streamline production, and scale personalization effectively.
