How B2C Marketers Can Tap Into Fresh Marketing Insights With Generative AI B2C marketers can leverage generative AI to gain fresh marketing insights and stay competitive. Generative AI addresses challenges like siloed data, overwhelming data volume, and lack of accessibility. Studies show it can improve task efficiency and quality, leading to higher revenue growth. Specialized AI tools, integrated with proprietary data, offer tailored insights, enhancing marketing strategies. For instance, a kitchen appliance brand used AI to identify a trend in affordable luxury, reframing their campaign to appeal to cost-conscious consumers. Marketers can learn more about utilizing generative AI at upcoming events and panels, or by visiting the MarketLogic Software team at booth 157.
