"The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing many industries at a rapid pace, including marketing. With more and more people using AI tools, entrepreneurs are faced with both exciting opportunities and overwhelming choices. Where AI can provide automation, personalization, and data insights, Christine Tolton, CEO of Red Cat Marketing, cautions business owners not to mistake AI for a replacement strategy. You still need a marketing strategy for your business."
"'AI is for insight, not shortcuts,' Tolton says. 'You need a marketing strategy that guides you how to use these tools. Without that, you're just throwing technology at the wall and hoping that something sticks.' The Allure and Limitations of AI AI offers many promises. The promise of faster content creation, predictive analytics, automated customer interactions, and marketing campaigns that can run themselves. But the danger rises when you assume that AI can think for you."
AI delivers automation, personalization, predictive analytics, faster content creation, and the ability to surface patterns and customer sentiment. AI cannot define brand purpose, identify the ideal customer, or determine competitive positioning. A clear marketing strategy must establish brand reasons, audience segments, messaging, and positioning before AI is applied. AI works best as an insight and execution tool: uncovering patterns, performing sentiment analysis, automating repetitive tasks, testing ad variations, and generating reports. Strategy should guide which AI tools to use and how to deploy them to ensure technology supports business goals rather than replacing strategic thinking.
