 How to design an AI Marketing strategy

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly enhance marketing, as it can help understand customer
needs, match them to products and services, and persuade people to buy. The implementation of AI has risen 27%
in the past year and a half, with three of the top five AI objectives being marketing- oriented: enhancing existing
products and services, creating new products and services, and enhancing customer relationships. As AI
continues to play a larger role in marketing, it is crucial for CMOs to understand the types of marketing AI
applications available today and how they may evolve. AI can be used for narrow tasks like digital ad placement,
broad tasks like enhancing predictions, and structured tasks like customer service. AI can also be used at every
stage of the customer journey, such as guiding search and assisting in upselling and cross-selling.

AI-enabled service agents like Amelia and Interactions are available 24/7 to handle customer requests and handle
fluctuating volumes better than human agents. They can handle simple queries and escalate complex issues to
human agents. Marketing AI can be categorized according to intelligence level and whether it's stand-alone or part
of a broader platform. Task automation and machine learning are two types of AI intelligence. Task automation
perform repetitive, structured tasks, while machine learning uses large amounts of data to make complex
predictions and decisions.

Stand-alone applications are separate from primary channels through which customers learn about, buy, or get
support for a company's offerings. They require customers or employees to make a special trip beyond those
channels to use the AI. For example, Behr's color-discovery app uses IBM Watson's natural language processing
and Tone Analyzer capabilities to deliver personalized paint-color recommendations based on consumer mood. The
actual sale of paint is executed outside the app, although it allows a connection to order from Home Depot.

Integrated applications are AI systems that are embedded within existing systems, often less visible to customers,
marketers, and salespeople. These applications are built into platforms that handle the entire process of buying and
placing ads, such as Netflix's recommendation engine. CRM systems are increasingly building machine-learning
capabilities into their products, such as Salesforce's Sales Cloud Einstein suite. There are four types of marketing
AI: less advanced, isolated AI, more advanced, isolated AI, and more advanced, integrated AI. Companies can plan
the rollout of their marketing AI by categorizing potential applications according to their intelligence level and
whether they are isolated or integrated into

broader platforms. Understanding which quadrant applications fall into can help marketers plan and sequence
the introduction of new uses. The ultimate value for marketers will be achieved by pursuing integrated machine-
learning applications, although simple rule-based and task-automation systems can enhance structured
processes. Marketers should move over time toward integrating AI within current marketing systems rather than
continue with stand-alone applications.

Finally, companies must keep customers’ interests top of mind. The smarter and more integrated AI applications
are, the more worries customers may have about privacy, security, and data ownership. Customers may be skittish
about apps that capture and share location data without their knowledge or about smart speakers that may be
eavesdropping on them. In general, consumers have shown a willingness (even eagerness) to swap some
personal data and privacy in exchange for the value that innovative apps can provide. Concerns about AI
applications like Alexa seem to be dwarfed by appreciation of their benefits. Thus the key for marketers as they
expand the intelligence and reach of their AI is to ensure that its privacy and security controls are transparent, that
customers have some say over how their data is collected and used, and that they get fair value from the firm in
exchange. To guarantee those protections and maintain customers’ trust, CMOs should establish ethics and privacy
review boards
—with both marketing and legal experts—to vet AI projects, particularly those that involve customer data or
algorithms that may be prone to bias, such as credit scoring.
While marketing AI holds enormous promise, we urge CMOs to be realistic about its current capabilities. Despite
the hype, AI can still accomplish only narrow tasks, not run an entire marketing function or process. Nevertheless,
it’s already offering substantial benefits to marketers—and in fact is essential in some marketing activities—and its
capabilities are rapidly growing. We believe that AI will ultimately transform marketing, but it’s a journey that will
take decades. The marketing function and the organizations that support it, IT in particular, will need to pay long-
term attention to building AI capabilities and addressing any potential risks. We urge marketers to start developing a
strategy today to take advantage of AI’s current functionality and its likely future
