Ergonode Webinar: Faster Marketing Starts in the Product Record
Nathalie · 2025-11-19 · Updated 2026-10-22 · 2 min read

Marketing gets faster when the product record can answer what the channel is about to ask. That is the practical point of this Ergonode webinar between Tomas Hesseling and Stephan Spijkers. The pressures they listed all land in the same place.
Speakers:
- Stephan Spijkers, Co-Founder, PIMvendors.com
- Tomas Hesseling, Global BD Director, Ergonode PIM
The slides from the webinar are in this presentation.
What the webinar put on the table:
- Customers ask for more product detail before they buy.
- Teams are told to move faster on budgets that are not growing.
- Attention is shifting from classic Google Ads toward answers from large language models.
- A PIM is where that detail has to live if marketing is going to keep up.
- Data quality decides whether that marketing is worth running.
- Someone has to tend the record before a campaign needs it, and the team has to understand what the customer is asking for.
Test that diagnosis on your own catalog. List the attributes shoppers and agents ask for that you cannot fill this week.
What a PIM is is the short account of why that record exists. A move from an ad to an answer pays off when the record can answer, which AI-ready product data goes through attribute by attribute. On a marketplace the same gap shows up as a rejected listing. PIM and marketplaces covers what those channels check before they accept the product.
