The Rise of AI in Marketing

The prominence of artificial intelligence in the workplace has people wondering where the line is drawn between work that requires a human touch and work that can be nearly fully automated using computers.

So much so that someone even made a website, Will Robots Take My Job.

But rest assured that technology isn't here to replace marketers, but rather assist them and augment their efforts.  

If we can use computers to better analyze the data around us, to predict trends before they start, marketers will have the opportunity to leverage big data insights to make smarter and more effective marketing decisions.

Additionally, by using computers to automate repetitive tasks, humans have more time to focus on designing truly engaging creatives that can spark conversations and lead to more meaningful human to human interactions.

I'm excited that Cloud Campaign is able to contribute to this movement of making artificial intelligence more common in the workplace, and I'm excited to soon announce some of the large AI projects we have in the pipeline for the coming months.

Recent features that we've added to simplify your life as a marketer include:

• Content Discovery (Finding trending articles related to your brand)
• Caption Generation (Extracting key quotes from articles to be used as captions)
• Auto Scheduling (Automatically delaying posts added to Drip Schedules for a more natural posting cadence)
• Auto Importer (Automatically import any blog or RSS Feed into your content library to begin sharing on social media)

While general AI can personalize based on data, professional agencies need to personalize based on identity. This is where AI-Powered Workspace Profiles are shifting the landscape. By embedding a client’s unique brand persona and local nuances directly into the platform, agencies can ensure that AI-driven content isn't just 'smart,' but hyper-localized and authentic to every specific community they serve.

The rise of AI in marketing isn't just about text; it's about the full creative stack. To meet the demand for original, high-quality visuals, agencies are now leveraging ImageAI. This allows for the instant generation of realistic, brand-aligned imagery that perfectly matches the captions created by tools like CaptionAI, effectively removing the reliance on overused stock photos and expensive design bottlenecks.

Engagement is no longer just about posting; it's about the speed of conversation. With AI-Powered Social Inbox Responses, agencies can automate the initial triage and drafting of replies. This 'Agentic AI' approach ensures that followers get immediate, context-aware interaction, while the SMM remains in control to add the final human touch before the response goes live.
