The best AI, you ask?
The one no one notices-because it just works.
Having spent the better part of my career in tech-led businesses, I’ve learnt something simple: You don’t need to be technical to understand the potential solutions tech unlocks.
And that’s exactly my area of curiosity-
What does AI actually unleash for marketers?
Because no matter how passionate we get about the tech,
customers don’t care what tech you use and honestly so don’t I-only that it works.
Here are 4 areas where I believe AI changes the game:
1. Performance ≠ Just Predictive Models
💡 AI’s edge isn’t in automation and scale. It lies in amplifying relevance, unlocking precision, and accelerating curiosity.
❌ “How do we automate media buying & scale impressions?”
✅“Who do we talk to, when, with what—and what’s about to stop working?”
🎯 Use AI for:
Dynamic audience reshuffling & smarter channel mix
Funnel-stage personalization & ghosting prediction
Spotting micro-triggers in conversion drop-offs
Real-time budget reallocation + bid optimization
Hypothesis-driven micro-tests• Multivariate testing across creatives & journeys
🧠 Are we using AI to get answers—or to ask smarter questions?
2. Brand & Creative ≠ Voice + Volume
💡 AI doesn’t invent your brand voice or replace human creativity. It unlocks creative velocity and enables intelligent personalization.
❌ “Can AI write our brand story & generate content?”
✅ “Can it uphold our tone, values, and adapt creative intelligently?”
🎯 Use AI for:
Voice-safe templates that scale
Dynamic resizing, tagging, & language variations
Testing thumbnails, CTAs, & message variants
Scaling one idea into multiple personalized formats
Flagging tone inconsistencies before publishing
🧠 Is AI helping us tell more relevant stories—or just more stories?
3. CX ≠ Just Chatbots
💡 AI isn’t here to make life easier for the brand—it’s here to do so for the customer. Experience equity > resolution speed.
❌ “How do we automate support?”
✅ “How can we proactively create moments of ease, trust, and delight?”
🎯 Use AI for:
Solving predictable issues before they escalate
Friction-point prediction based on journey & sentiment data
Personalized recovery nudges (credits, callbacks)
Invisible anticipatory design (autofill, skip steps, save states)
🧠 Customers don’t want a ‘smart assistant.’ They want zero reasons to reach out.
4. Leadership ≠ AI Cheerleading
💡 You don’t need to be the most AI-forward. But you do need to own its impact.
❌ “What’s our AI strategy?”
✅ “What business problem is AI solving—and can we measure it?”
🎯 Use AI for:
Streamlining ops & cross-functional chaos
Reviewing what AI actually got right (or didn’t)
Modeling pricing, churn, and growth scenarios
🧠 Are you treating AI as a tool to manage—or a capability to lead?
AI isn’t for better metrics alone.
It’s for better decisions.
