Why automation and AI?
As companies and available comms channels grow, it’s harder for your team to do everything manually.
We want to ‘flood’ the top half of a standard marketing funnel with traffic. Especially Awareness and Evaluate stages.
The goal of AI and automation is to free up time & remove repetitive tasks, drive more traffic, improve customer experience and move prospects through the funnel faster.
Automation software is less expensive than hiring new staff. By freeing up time staff can then focus on the important stage of retention and optimisation of all stages.
Why automation and AI? – Multiple Segments & Audiences
Many faces
Quite likely your company has 100s of possible digital segments. Add online data to the list.
Personalisation
Response rates to personalized content are higher.
Content Variations
Need to create variable content for each segment.
Lean marketing
Small marketing teams can only do so much.
ICP
Even your Ideal Customer Profile can be broken down into sub-segments
Nurture program
AI can manage large scale nurture programs to warm up leads
Segments x Content x Channels = Infinity
The number of possible segments, then different types of content, then number of channels means infinite possibilities for personalisation.
What can be handed over to AI
Many aspects of marketing can be handed over to AI. The question becomes what is the most beneficial to hand over and the easiest processes to convert. Nothing can fully be handed over to AI. Yet. But large parts of the workflow can. Email marketing, copywriting and SEO are 3 campaigns that can be semi-automated and are most likely to bring the quickest returns.
