Matt & Matt #4: Optimizely, Adobe, AI Workflows, and the Human Side of Digital Experience

Matt Garrepy of CMS Critic and Matthew McQueeny of iMedia reconnect for a wide-ranging conversation about the fast-moving CMS and DXP landscape. This episode covers Matthew’s takeaways from the Optimizely Roadshow in New York, including the rise of Opal and agentic AI, before shifting into a larger conversation about Adobe Summit, AEM, content marketing platforms, composability, and the ongoing tension between enterprise suites and more flexible digital ecosystems. The Matts also recap their recent Boye & Company peer group meetings in San Jose and Austin, where conversations moved beyond CMS into AI workflows, Claude Code, sales enablement, digital transformation fatigue, and the real value of in-person community. Along the way, they touch on Sitecore, Contentful, Contentstack, Silicon Valley, open source CMS, Cloudflare’s EmDash, HubSpot’s AEO push, and why AI may be mainstreaming the very work this industry has been doing for years.

Matt & Matt #3: Broadway, Brand Visibility, and the Magic of Serendipity

Matt and Matt move from Broadway lights and New York pizza to some of the biggest questions facing marketing, AI visibility, and modern digital experience.
