In the last five years, Artificial Intelligence has gone from a futuristic concept to a marketer’s daily tool kit. What was once “nice-to-have” is now a competitive necessity. From generating copy to predicting customer behavior, AI can handle up to 80% of your marketing activities – freeing you up to focus on strategy, creativity, and building relationships.

The goal isn’t to replace humans, it’s how best you can use AI to scale what works, eliminate repetitive work, and make data-driven decisions faster than ever before.

In this blog we help you understand how AI can help you to automate 80% of your marketing, without losing human touch.

1. Content Creation at Scale

2. Email Marketing Personalization

Personalized emails drive 6x higher transaction rates (Experian) and with AI you can now personalize emails at scale without manually segmenting every list. You can use it for:

  • Send Time Optimization: Tools like Klaviyo and Mailchimp use machine learning to send emails at the exact time each subscriber is most likely to engage.

Automated email campaigns deliver 320% more revenue per email compared to non-automated campaigns (DMA). This can help brands toengage with every customer like they’re your only customer.

3. Social Media Scheduling & Engagement
