What was once viewed as the content of science fiction movies, artificial intelligence looks to be much more of a reality than previously expected. Artificial intelligence marketing can play such a huge role in the development of brand analysis and consumer interactions. Between sentiment analysis, customer service opportunities, and advertising optimization, artificial intelligence allows marketers to get a better understanding of their consumer base.

Whether it’s an automated phone call or an automated online chat system, the use of AI in customer service cuts down labor costs and allows for a smoother customer experience by collecting key information before getting in touch with a live customer service representative.

Advertising Optimization

In addition to customer service, AI serves a huge role in the world of advertising optimization. Sites such as Facebook and Google use artificial intelligence to track consumer likes and interests, in order to serve them ads that they will find useful.
