Frågor vi som ledare avmarknadsavdelningar behöver ställa oss:

• Hur får vi förmågan att skapa oss insikter/kunskap som gör det möjligt att ta smarta datadrivna beslut snabbt nog för att möta den digitala kundens krav?

• Hur löser vi behovet av att, som ledare, kunna överblicka en så fragmenterad verksamhet?

• Om det vi behöver inte alltid finns att köpa – är alternativet då att bygga själv?

• Hur får vi tillgång spetskompetens som krävs inom AI för att själva kunna bygga egna lösningar?

• Hur/vad är vi beredda att betala för vårt AI-stöd?

●The approach I outline here is best suited for smaller or mid-sized company

●It is a B2B focus

●Digital marketing focus

●As marketers, it’s good to be suspicious of anyone who claims that technology is the answer to your problems. It never is. Technology alone can’t do it – it takes a wellorchestratedcombination of people, process and technology.

●Do not wait to ask your questions!

The aggregated data is often not connected to the individual profile…

This is B2B . where most purchases are made by buying teams.

So we also want to know about each prospect’s relationship to other

People and to their company.

Understanding that hierarchy is important for B2B selling, but

most lead-gen stacks are almost completely oriented around the

individual lead.

And, even Account Based Marketing oriented stacks are

typically lacking the capabilities to identify buying teams, often

lumping everyone at a company into the same bucket.

Content creation?

Marketers have to embrace a very different mindset

moving forward.

Marketers are trained to target personas - and

produce content that appeals to them.

But now customers expect an extremely high level of

personalization and real-time interactions with brands

across a multitude of devices and channels.

To this end, most marketers are still producing their

own content, but eventually it simply won’t be possible

to produce enough personalized content fast enough

without AI.

Columbia research finds people think human-written

articles are “more readable,” but computer-generated

stories are “more credible”.
