"I see AI as an accelerator at the start of the creative process. It helps me explore more directions quickly, but the real work is deciding which ideas are worth pursuing and pushing them into something that's clear, useful, and actually feels like Edmunds. To support that, I've built a small AI stack that mirrors how I work day-to-day: Perplexity for deep research, Claude as a pressure-tester to push back and find holes in my thinking, and tools like Nano Banana and Higgsfield for quick visual exploration."
"We're in uncharted territory in terms of how marketing work gets made and who gets hired to do it. The tools are changing fast, the job market is tight, and it's led to a flood of work that's fast and cheap - and often forgettable."
Sixty-five percent of CMOs believe AI will dramatically transform their roles within two years, according to Gartner research. Marketing professionals are leveraging AI tools including Midjourney, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and Claude to streamline workflows and enhance creativity. These tools serve multiple functions: pressure-testing creative concepts, generating visuals and narratives for presentations, and eliminating routine tasks. Marketing leaders emphasize that AI functions as an accelerator in the creative process, enabling rapid exploration of multiple directions. However, the real value lies in human judgment—deciding which ideas merit pursuit and refining them into clear, useful outputs aligned with brand identity. The rapid evolution of AI tools and changing job market dynamics create both opportunities and challenges for marketing professionals.
