Learn how AI is shaping marketing and the tools you can use to improve your marketing efforts!
Smart marketers know they’re storytellers at heart and that content creation is non-negotiable. They also know creating content is time-consuming and never ending and any tool that can assist in the process is worth exploring. According to the University of Pennsylvania, almost 20% of workers already see as much as 50% of their daily tasks impacted by AI (artificial intelligence). While these are early days in the AI world, marketers who experiment now will diversify their skill set and improve efficiency. But as much as AI will help smart marketers, it will hurt lazy marketers.
· Smart marketers experiment, adopt early and integrate wisely. Lazy marketers skip the experimentation stage and rush to integration too quickly, which can lead to embarrassing and costly mistakes.
· Smart marketers will use AI as building blocks across text, audio and video, adding in their original points of view, insights and humor. Lazy marketers will cut and paste outputs without improving the writing style and adding in brand personality.
· Smart marketers are customer centric and will construct better customer experiences from data, improving both automation and personalization. Lazy marketers will continue to do things the way they’ve always done – because it’s easier.
If you’re interested in exploring the world of AI and learning how it can improve your marketing efforts, these tools may be just what you need.
