AI’s Role in Streamlining Marketing Tasks
As the quest for creativity and audience engagement intensifies, AI emerges as a beacon, enabling marketers to focus on high-value tasks. From summarizing extensive content to drafting presentations and problem-solving, AI is set to revolutionize day-to-day marketing operations.
Matt Tindale, Head of Enterprise, LinkedIn Marketing Solutions, Asia Pacific, shared his insights: “AI is permeating all aspects of work, including marketing. It is now more crucial than ever to create memorable campaigns that enhance brand value. However, many B2B CMOs say they feel pressured to drive results with limited resources. This often leads marketers to prioritise short-term business needs over long-term strategic efforts. AI holds the potential to assist B2B CMOs by freeing up their time to concentrate on the strategic aspects of their roles. As the landscape of B2B marketing continues to evolve, AI tools will enable marketers to dedicate more time to crafting creative campaigns that drive engagement, establish connections with customers, and yield positive results.”
