AI is here to stay. How do we embrace it.

by with No Comment AIIndustry Insights

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm over the last 12 months, creating robust discussion around its role in current society and more importantly the role it takes in the workplace and how it will impact future employment.

Like it or not, AI is here to stay and businesses can choose to embrace it and use it to drive greater efficiencies at work – or ignore it and hope it goes away.

Here are some thoughts on how AI fits into the digital marketing world.

Automation and Efficiency

AI enables automation of repetitive and mundane tasks, freeing up human resources to focus on more complex and creative activities. General tasks such as data entry AI-powered systems can handle data entry, customer support, data analysis, inventory management, and other routine tasks with speed and accuracy, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.

AI can do the Grunt Work

Instead of spending hours doing research and analysing information for presentations, content and strategies, choose what AI can assist with and let it do the grunt work.  You will become more efficient in reviewing the information, looking at market trends, business performances and crafting it into informed, strategic recommendations.

Improving the Customer Experience on the Net

AI technologies, such as chatbots and virtual assistants, can provide personalized and real-time support to customers, improving their experience.  The AI analyses customer data and behaviour and can tailor responses and recommendations quickly.  This is particularly handy if you are running a business where queries can come in at any time and hence don’t need to have staff 24 hours.

Competitive Advantage

Implementing AI technologies can give businesses a competitive edge in the market. AI-powered tools can optimize marketing campaigns, improve sales forecasting, enhance product development, and enable personalized customer experiences. By leveraging AI effectively, businesses can innovate, differentiate themselves, and stay ahead of competitors.

In the today’s digital media world, we work with AI algorithms to analyse data and deliver optimised campaigns to drive performance.  It complements the skill set of our team and provides us with the tactics to better manage outcomes.

It helps us become better marketers.

By embracing AI we will become more efficient, more knowledgeable and gain a winning edge.  But it doesn’t obliterate human perception, understanding and empathy for our clients nor will be the final decision maker.  That will always come down to the human being….

At least for now 😁

How to Improve Audience Engagement in 5 Simple Steps

by with No Comment Industry InsightsSocial Media

Step 1 – Use insights to understand your audience

In order to best engage with your audience, you need to understand who they are. Your desired audience may not align with your actual audience, so it is important to know what groups of people are typically drawn to your online content. Using any and all data that is available to you, start building out an audience profile. Once you know your core demographic, as well as your occasional ones, you can begin to tailor your content towards them.

Step 2 – Tailor your content to your audience

Your content should be designed and delivered in a way that will peak the interest of your audience. It is all about finding ways to generate engagement that is beneficial to your goals, whether those goals are to increase brand awareness or to drive sales of a particular product. Don’t be afraid to experiment either. While it is important to continue with content that is working, you should also be innovating, even if it doesn’t always land perfectly.

Step 3 – Post at peak timing

The timing of your posting can have a massive effect on engagement. With the sheer amount of online content being posted daily, you don’t want to waste your work by posting it at inopportune times. Know when your audience is most active and schedule your content to go live at those times. Avoid the muck and place your brand right in front of your most important eyeballs.

Step 4 – Encourage engagement

This may seem obvious, but it is important to remember that your audience is not obliged to engage with your content. Even if you have tailored everything correctly and are posting at the right time, you can still be simply scrolled past. Interaction sometimes needs to be actively encouraged. This can be done through polls, questions, giveaways, ‘tag a friend’ type posts etc. Calling your audience into action will increase the likelihood of your content reaching a wider audience, therefore bringing more potential customers into the fold.

Step 5 – Trending content

Social media moves quickly, and you need to try your best to keep up. Always having one eye turned towards trending topics, relevant conversations, popular formats and memes will minimise your risk of falling behind. Keeping up to date and active in online discussions is a great way to generate engagement, and in some ways can be an easy win for your brand. Trends trend for a reason, and you should always be looking to capitalize on that kind of online popularity
