This is how Marketing Automation will be used in future
Disclaimer: These are the new things I would personally like to see, and things I think we will see more often in the future.
Note: Yes, I want machine learning and AI to do the bulk of the work. Machines can learn, optimize, and implement marketing-related solutions faster than I ever could — it is my own opinion that it would be silly not to let them try (with a helmet).
Segmentation
- Automated Audience Segmentation — to automatically determine and create the audience a user should fall under with no human intervention.
- Automating Content Interest Segments — to rank what type of content (and the content itself) with which a user is most likely to engage.
Integrations
- Integrations and applications for physical locations (Automatically segmenting “Brick & Mortar” visitors based on in-store behaviour).
- More natural AI integrations with Online Messenger based services.
- Better accessibility for businesses with smaller budgets (Minimum-click type solutions).
Media Planning, Buying & Reporting
- Automated Website Tagging Solutions (Minimum-click type solutions).
- Automated Reporting (With in-depth AI-generated Insights).
- Automated Media Planning (Allowing AI to leverage reporting data and audience segments to compile plans).
- Automating Ad Generation & Placement (Ties into Segmentation and Automated Media Planning).
Media
- Smarter DOOH placements and inventory.
- Smarter ride-hailing integrations, ad placements, and inventory.
- Leveraging Online Audiences for DOOH.
