Where AI Innovation Meets Human Expertise

Who's Behind Your AI Transformation

At Demand Spring, we’re a team of AI implementation experts who believe that behind every successful digital transformation are real people helping other people succeed. While we’re passionate about AI and automation, our greatest strength lies in our human expertise and understanding of what marketing leaders really need.

The Story Behind Our Mission

When our Founder & CEO Mark Emond witnessed how marketing automation could revolutionize struggling organizations twelve years ago, it sparked more than just a business idea—it ignited a mission. Starting with marketing automation excellence, we’ve evolved to help marketing leaders harness the transformative power of AI, always keeping one core truth in mind: technology is only as powerful as the people implementing it.
