The Rise of the Super Intelligent Marketer
-
The definition of marketing has changed during the COVID pandemic. It has become all about the experience that the customer gets from a brand. It has moved from a transactional perspective to a relationship-driven perspective.
-
Consumer behavior has changed where they are researching more about financial products online. They have become more digitally-empowered.
With respect to adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI), marketers need to look at two things:
-
There needs to be an enterprise-wide strategy with respect to AI and the leadership team itself should drive it.
-
Identify marketing gaps that can be filled using AI.
Top areas where AI can help marketers:
-
Prospecting and top-of-the-funnel activities such as increasing customer acquisition and reducing the cost involved in it, reducing the customer retention cost, etc.
- Personalization
- Information Sourcing that feeds the above 2 points
- Improving the quality of the business in terms of getting quality leads

3 digital trends to look out for in the future:
