Marketing: Generating Value with AI
AI is transforming the way brands approach and execute marketing activities. Starting with the creative process, which can be democratized to allow consumers to produce their own personalized collateral: for example, at this year’s French Open, fans could pick a past memory of Rafael Nadal, and type a text prompt in a simple generative AI interface to generate a poster…
