𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐛𝟑 𝐂𝐌𝐎 | 🚀 Leading B2B Metaverse & AI Marketing Innovations | 🎧 Host of Top 5% Global Podcast on Web3 | 🎤 Keynote Speaker | ✍️Bestselling Author

You have the technology. The ambition. Maybe even momentum.
But when marketing collides with AI, complexity, and trust, visibility stops being a channel problem and becomes a leadership problem.
That’s where I come in.

My name is Joeri Billast. I work as a Fractional CMO and AI Visibility strategist, helping brands grow when traditional marketing playbooks no longer deliver clarity or impact.

I support leadership teams with:
🧭 Fractional CMO leadership: positioning, priorities, and strategic focus
🤖 AI-driven marketing and visibility systems that compound trust and demand
✍️ Content and narrative frameworks that turn expertise into growth

Alongside my advisory work, I host Web3 CMO Stories, a top 5% global podcast focused on Web3, AI, and strategic brand building. The show brings sharp conversations for founders, CMOs, and senior marketers navigating visibility, trust, and narrative in fast-changing tech environments.

I’m also the author of The Future CMO, described by Philip Kotler as: 
“The best update I’ve read on the role of CMOs. A must-read.” 

And I regularly deliver keynotes based on The Future CMO for leadership teams and conferences exploring how AI, trust, and marketing leadership converge in practice.

You might want to reach out if:
🔹 marketing feels harder despite better tools
🔹 visibility is fragmented across platforms and AI systems
🔹 leadership needs clarity, not more tactics

DM me if this resonates.

International Women's Day was yesterday, but the reflection continues.

Looking back at the first months of the year, several women have shaped my thinking about marketing, leadership and community.

Sandy Carter (podcast guest, January) 
One point stayed with me: AI projects fail when they start tech-first instead of outcome-first. Start with the KPI. Let the technology follow. That shift in thinking changes how many organizations approach AI.

Melanie Borden (podcast guest, February) 
She drew a sharp line between performative visibility and credible visibility. Trust is not built in posts. It is built in replies, follow-ups and showing up as a human. That reframed how I think about my own presence online.

Lani Dizon (podcast & retreat sponsor)
Someone who supports both my podcast and the Sintra Synergies retreat through RYO Digital this year. A reminder that ideas rarely move forward alone. Community and collaboration make them real.

Grateful for these conversations.

Curious to hear from others: which woman has influenced the way you think about your work or leadership?

What if the loudest voice isn’t the one people remember?

We sit down with Chris Do, Emmy Award-winning designer, CEO of Blind, and founder of The Futur™ , to rethink how personal brands stand out when AI can churn out endless “average” content.

Instead of chasing volume, Chris shows how clarity, restraint, and lived experience create the kind of mental real estate that algorithms can’t manufacture.

We unpack the risk of going omnichannel before you know your “why,” and why the path to quality runs through consistent reps, not perfectionism.

Chris reframes social media as public journaling that documents your thinking, then explains how to copy in private to learn while avoiding public plagiarism that erodes credibility.

From shelf design to SaaS landing pages, he breaks down taste as a business asset, how packaging, typography, and visual cues shape perceived value and price tolerance long before buyers read a word.

Trust becomes the differentiator in a world of AI-generated media. Chris outlines the trust triangle
▶️ authenticity,
▶️ empathy
▶️ logic
and how to signal each through honest positioning, buyer-first recommendations, and clear reasoning.

When a prospect says “AI can do it cheaper,” he pivots to outcomes and value-based pricing: define the delta you create and align incentives with shared risk.

We also zoom out to disruption dynamics, tracing how Netflix jumped curves while incumbents clung to old models. AI is that next curve, learn to surf it or get pulled under.

If you’re a founder, marketer, or creator wrestling with voice, channels, pricing, or credibility, this conversation offers a practical playbook: speak softly but clearly, practice daily, train your taste, teach generously, and price the change you deliver.

What single word do you want your brand to own?

Sintra Synergies is coming together beautifully.

Senior marketers. Founders. Brand strategists.
UK, EU, US.

Small group. Strategic depth. No noise.

Mark Schaefer will join us.
RYO Digital is supporting this edition, allowing us to elevate the experience even further.

And as it happens in curated rooms…

One spot just opened up again.

If you’re operating at senior level and value depth over scale, send me a message.

I’ll share the details personally.

Most leaders are focused on the speed of AI.
I’m more interested in something slower. And rarer.

Trust.
Judgment.
Responsibility.

Things no algorithm can automate.

On March 26, I’ll be speaking at TEDxChiado in Lisbon around the theme Humanity 5.0: The Next Upgrade Is Us.

In a world where anyone can scale fast, the real differentiator won’t be your tools.
It will be your integrity.

The machines are ready.
The question is: are we?

I didn't plan a theme for February. 
One emerged anyway. 
New newsletter👇 👇

Something kept surfacing in February. Across podcast conversations. A walking episode through Sintra. A TEDx invitation that made me stop and think. N

Web3 content writer

"Openness, interoperability and theoretical wandering on what the Metaverse will end up being are driving the conversation. Is this at the expense of the values, ethics and philosophy we need to build the future of web technology around? Brave ethical judgements need to be made and added to the road map of the Metaverse, but how do we go about deciding what those will be, or who the responsibility is with?"

I'm a writer with a high stakes agenda and a proven track record writing content, podcasts, scripts, interviews, alternative philosophy, press releases, and, when forced to, social media content, for NFT collections, web3 platforms, the Metaverse and play-to-earn games.

NASA funded it, SpaceX built it, Helium-3 pays for it.

"NASA's been doing a great job with the CLPS program (Commercial Lunar Payload Services). 

They've been sprinkling some development dollars throughout a really dynamic ecosystem that's emerged in the shadow of SpaceX. 

About $10 billion went into SpaceX alumni startups. A lot of them in the Hawthorne and El Segundo area, doing things like Starpath - propellant manufacturing on the moon, and little rovers. 

You've got Lunar Outpost, Intuitive Machines, Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace, and others developing rovers, landers, robotics, and other critical enabling technologies. 

You've got two, three, four commercial landers every year now landing on the moon testing these technologies. 

The tech is developing very, very rapidly. It's just looking for a customer. 

Lunar mining is actually the customer that all these companies need to go beyond just NASA research grants and maybe defence contracts."
