Like most marketers, my team and I spent a lot of time over the holiday experimenting with ChatGPT, ChatBCG, DALL-E, and other generative AI platforms, and thinking about how they can help InMobi marketing be more innovative and powerful. We also reveled in exploring Dr. Joerg Storm’s LinkedIn post highlighting a wide array of AI-driven apps for everything from translation and transcription to dynamic video production – an absolute treasure trove for social media marketers.
The fact is that for years, we’ve been using machine learning in MarTech platforms to automate key marketing and sales processes. But we’ve also been keenly aware that AI has promised so much more. With the explosion of interest in OpenAI, we were reminded of our ultimate goals:
- Deliver inspiring, personalized and highly intuitive prospect experiences that expand awareness, drive consideration, and foster conversion
- Recommend the right solutions to the right prospect at the right time and in the right manner
- Optimize our people, processes, and systems for maximum impact and efficacy
Leveraging this article from HBR, we created a Crawl, Walk, Run plan for now through the end of 2024 based on what we know today. Below, you can see a quick overview of our roadmap, which will evolve in real time as we explore and learn more.
CRAWL: What we’ve been doing to date
- AI in our B2B Programmatic Advertising solution
- AI in our Website Chatbot
- AI in our Marketing Automation and CRM stack
WALK: What we are adding now
- Task Force: Create an interdisciplinary AI Task Force with marketing, engineering, product, legal, etc., to ensure that we stay on the leading edge of AI innovation yet remain in compliance with consumer privacy protections globally
- Creative: Leverage generative AI to innovate and speed execution across content and social media marketing, design, interactive, audio and video production; create an engaging lead intake game that makes it fun to tell us what you need and want from InMobi
- MarTech: Ensure that we are using the very latest in AI-based capabilities across our website, demand generation, and account-based marketing tech stack to make discovery, consideration, and conversion more intuitive, enjoyable, and successful
- Chatbot: Improve it to be more helpful for complex inquiries while facilitating streamlined real-time human-level support when needed; integrate into support center
