AI Use Cases to Efficiently Drive Brand Awareness and Customer Engagement

80% of surveyed CROs have formally invested in AI for their marketing teams, yet only 1 in 5 marketing teams are currently using AI to support outreach or planning. What is the best approach to implement AI initiatives that will ultimately drive marketing growth goals?

For marketing, fundamental growth goals center around driving brand awareness and customer engagement with products and services. Improving demand generation, developing qualified pipeline, acquiring new logos and leveraging e-commerce for scale are commonly used growth plays in marketing. AI serves as a growth play “accelerator” being used for:

Data capture and analysis

Use AI to gather and interpret prospect data to understand activities and engagement to inform marketing and product decision. This may include time spent on webpages, social media interaction, and email open and click rates.

Strategy design and execution

Use AI to align outreach timing, content and channel to prospect preferences. This includes predicting what time of the week/day and type of channel(s) a customer is most likely to interact with.

Content and interaction generation

To get more mileage out of content, use generative AI tools to effectively repackage existing content into additional formats (i.e., creating videos, SMS or podcasts from written form content).
