Data & analytics · getdbt.com
Each creative counted once, however many ads it runs as. Every platform publishes a different public sign an ad is working, so each row shows its own.
Every ad in our libraries is scored out of 10 by an AI model built to judge creative, up to 5 for how well it would land with a senior B2B buyer and up to 5 for craft. 3 of dbt Labs's ads scored 6 or higher. We show the best in English, one per message and spread across channels, so no single campaign fills the list.

Three answers, one simple question Description: Find your AI data maturity stage
Ad copy
A CEO asks how many active customers the company has. Finance says one number, sales says another, ops says a third — same thread. That's why AI pilots stall before production. In this session, Russell Christopher (dbt Labs) and Petyo Pahunchev (Infinite Lambda) walk through the five stages of AI data maturity, and what it takes to move up one. Sept 2 & 3, global-friendly times.
