Single Grain
Single Grain keeps publishing AI-for-marketing how-tos, not product changes
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Demand Gen Report and Mailjet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Demand Gen Report covers Salesforce's AI sales agent research and click-free measurement.
Demand Gen Report's feed publishes under the B2BMX Insights name and remains trade journalism. The newest pieces include an opinion column arguing that giving sales reps Claude is not a strategy, a CTV case study, Demand Spring's new CMO services, a webinar with Madison Logic's CEO and a call for its 2027 planning survey. None describes a Demand Gen Report product.
Mailjet is publishing deliverability compliance guidance, and little else.
A low-cadence blog — ten posts spanning eight months — weighted toward authentication and regulatory change rather than product. The substantive entries are two treatments of the CNIL and Garante tracking-pixel guidance in France and Italy, and a DMARC post that states a real product default: Mailjet is DKIM-first. The rest is competitive migration content, a platform comparison still labelled 2025, and research published under the sibling Mailgun brand.

Coverage keeps centering on AI in B2B go-to-market, now including general-purpose assistants competing with sales tools. Event and survey promotion for 2027 planning is ramping up.
Expect results from the 2027 planning survey and more coverage of AI agents in sales; the feed shows no product releases.
A low-cadence blog — ten posts spanning eight months — weighted toward authentication and regulatory change rather than product.

The rest is competitive migration content, a platform comparison still labelled 2025, and research published under the sibling Mailgun brand.
The positioning is compliance-and-deliverability first, which is the pitch of an infrastructure sender rather than a campaign tool — the transactional-plus-marketing post argues exactly that, against teams running two platforms. The Mailchimp migration guide and the comparison roundup point at where Mailjet expects to win customers: cost and consolidation, not features. Nothing in the window describes a shipped capability.
More regulatory response content is the safest read, since two of the last ten posts already cover the same EU pixel guidance; on product direction this source is silent and a release feed would be needed.
