Marketing teams today face a significant challenge: they are awash in data but often find it locked away in separate systems, making it difficult to access and use effectively for strategic decisions. This fragmentation creates data silos that hinder workflow efficiency and informed decision-making, a problem particularly acute for midsize companies. The root causes range from organizational structures to technical limitations, leaving many teams unable to leverage their full informational assets.
A potential solution is emerging through agentic AI, which can unify disparate data sources. Its adoption, however, depends on marketers’ willingness to use it and IT departments’ comfort in providing the necessary access. Addressing this need directly, Amazon recently introduced the Amazon Quick Suite. This platform aims to seamlessly link common workplace applications, data repositories, and other tools through an interface designed for marketers, requiring minimal technical expertise and avoiding disruption to existing processes.
The core value proposition is centralization. “Data can be messy because the quality is poor, but it can also be messy because it’s scattered across apps,” explained Charlie Cartwright, director of Amazon Quick Suite at AWS. The suite eliminates the need for users to hunt for information across different platforms. By connecting tools via Quick Index or MCP, including productivity suites like Office 365, marketing platforms such as Adobe Analytics, AWS-native services like S3 and Redshift, and thousands of other applications, it creates a unified access point. “You no longer have to be the foremost expert of where to get the best information to do your work,” Cartwright noted.
Once integrated, the platform provides an AI-powered team to assist marketers. This virtual team includes an insights assistant, a data analyst, a Ph.D.-level researcher, and an automation expert. In practical terms, this enables users to analyze and visualize cross-campaign data with Quick Sight, conduct deep research using internal and external sources via Quick Research, and automate repetitive tasks and workflows with Quick Flows and Quick Automate.
A typical workflow might begin with a marketer connecting their research agent to all permitted data sources. They can then work on identifying target segments, optimal distribution channels, and the appropriate style and tone for a campaign. The research compiles into a working document. Users can also deploy a chat agent to help refine the campaign’s voice and integrate live analytics from platforms like Snowflake or Adobe Analytics directly into their project. For visual content, Quick Suite can connect to design tools like Canva to help generate compelling data visualizations and graphics.
Accessing Amazon Quick Suite requires an AWS account, with service available in two pricing tiers starting at $20 per month. Early user feedback, according to Cartwright, indicates benefits like access to deeper insights, accelerated project timelines, and freed-up bandwidth for more strategic, creative work. He expressed enthusiasm for this shift in focus: “I’m really excited for that shift, where folks can focus on the creative aspects, how to evolve the brands, how to connect more, versus just the time spent getting the information.”
