How AI Will Impact Marketing in 2019

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all the new rage in the marketing world. In a “work-smarter-not-harder” industry, it only makes sense for marketers to turn to machines to help them better understand their audience, and how they interact with them. In today’s tech-forward world, it’s projected by Adobe that over the next 12 months, 31% of enterprises are expected to add some form of AI to its marketing mix.

The Flow of Value Through the Marketing Mix

Michael Powell once said, “Only when you bring value to others, will you bring value to yourself.” Looking at this quote from a business standpoint, your brand value will only increase if your company is able to provide true value to your customers first. Your marketing mix (or 4 P’s), which is part of your marketing strategy, can help you decide what value to provide to customers and how to best communicate that value. The 4 P’s of the marketing mix outlines the right product (or service) to sell, the right price to sell it at, the right place to deliver it, and the right promotions to get it known. Value, of course, should be at the heart of every “P.”

Marketing Eye Executive Marketing Services

Like many businesses, there is never enough time to get all the marketing done that needs to be completed, and quite often businesses either don’t have the excess funds to hire a full-time marketing executive, or they don’t wish to have another headcount.

Henry Ford once said, “A man who stops advertising to save money is the man who stops his clock to save time.” More importantly, the man who advertises without an effective advertising strategy is a man awaiting failure. Advertising strategies are the blueprints that help businesses sell products or services to consumers. New products that will be launched or old products that need to be marketed should be accompanied by an effective advertising campaign. An advertising campaign is a set of advertising messages revolving around a single idea and is designed based on the advertising strategy. Advertising efforts can achieve benefits, such as brand awareness and increased sales, for the company.

I’ve learned more about writing from measuring analytical data on my content than I ever did in a classroom.

Content is King. This phrase is a marketer’s bread and butter. But what about consistency? It’s important to pull branding through across every user interface. Think about big companies like Apple and Google. When you see an iPhone, you know it’s an Apple product. The Gmail app has the same look and feel as the desktop version. Why is this important? It lets consumers know that from platform to product, the website, and logo, it’s all the same brand. Same colors. Same functionality.
