King's exit rounds out a big news week for Mutinex, which hired Danny Bass as chief revenue officer, and introduced its new AI-powered offering, Hendren, at its inaugural Marketers and Money Conference.
Hendren, named after the Norse God of Knowledge with a nod to Innis' nickname, launches a new category for Mutinex it calls "BAM", or Business Answers Modelling.
Innis debuted the offering at the conference with a live demonstration and showed attendees how to use the chat-based interface, which he called "a business consultant in your pocket."
Users can ask critical marketing effectiveness questions, and drawing on a customer’s proprietary market mix modelling data, the interface can answer instantly, complete with charts, thorough analysis, and optimisation recommendations.
Hendren can also provide written executive summaries and presentation slides for CMOs and senior executives that are “CFO and boardroom ready.”
“Every so often something comes along that breaks a category and creates a new one,” Mat Baxter, Mutinex APAC CEO, said. “Hendren is one of those rare products. It exists in a category of one."
Innis and Danny Bass
Bass' hire was long-rumoured but finally confirmed, rounding out a leadership team fronted by Innis, Baxter, and US-based John Sintras.
“I’ve seen increasingly how the GrowthOS platform has become adopted much like Salesforce by the C-suite,” Bass said of joining the business.
“C-Suite leaders and marketing teams are looking for one, unified platform to make sense of how to invest their growth dollars across pricing, media and more.
“That’s the platform our industry has been waiting for, and Mutinex has built it in GrowthOS. It’s why incredible leaders are joining them. And it’s why I see an amazing opportunity here to work to build this into a Salesforce-style platform for growth with both C-Suite leaders and our wider agency ecosystem.”
