I think there will be a lot of A.I built to complement the human element of marketing but not to overtake it.

@aaronoleary yep, agree. Marketing will be kinda the same but with AI technology added.
@aaronoleary Agree! many marketing contents such as blogs and videos will be automatically generated. A bot that's more familiar with the product than its builders in the company is used host podcasts / webinars.
I think marketing will be hyper-personalized, one-to-one, real-time and more technology and data-driven
In B2B marketing, buying "intent" is a key determinant to closing deals. I believe it's going to get a lot more accurate in the coming decade and marketing is going to get hyper targeted.

Marketing will increasingly be the byproduct of all things customer experience and product experience.

More Rational.
Marketing moved to digital in last decade but the basic principle is still same. Even if you don't have the best product/service you can still trick user in thinking it's best product/service for them. A lot of psychological and Emotional principles are use to achieve this for example: "Don't talk about specification of your product rather talk about how it will improve user's life".
But in future with all the data easily available I think marketing will have to be more rational.
Every single individual I guess will have a personal AI assistant which will go through all product/service of a asked category and recommend the best product for you.
So, In Future Marketers will not have to convince a Person rather they will have to convince a AI / ML Algorithm to buy/recommend their product/service.
@raj_dhakad Interesting perspective Raj! I think the opposite. Marketing has already become too rational, which is why it's not performing as well. Data over creativity. I think it will swing in the opposite direction. It may, in the short term, attempt to become more rational, to prove data works, but it will fail. AI has no understanding of culture and marketing is about culture. And humans.

I suspect the future of marketing will be the rise of corporate personalities.
Influencer marketing has become one of the most effective marketing channels out there, and there is already a pretty big economy built around assisting aspiring influencers in growing their audiences and sourcing deals with corporate brands.
I don't think it would be a leap to believe that consumer-facing companies may start investing in "in-house" influencers to more "authentically" connect with everyday consumers.
@deeblekpantha I hope not. Neither corporations nor brands can have "personalities" they are rational organisations with no conscience. They are made up of humans. It is impossible for them to have a "personality"...
The Green Book Project
@giles_crouch Oh I very much agree. I think this would be very bad for society.
But it definitely seems like a growing trend for companies to connect with some customers purely through influencers.
I see this most strongly with the Gen-Z demographic who seem to make buying decisions way differently than previous generations and who seem to be the most heavily influenced by social media personalities.
AR might be more dominant than we anticipated. marketing production will have more voice integration as well. with AI on the horizon, marketing will be more efficient and accurate in terms of targeting.

So every marketeer will have to be able to do data science.
Google, Meta, and other companies will have a monopoly on quality data, like psychography, but every other company will have its tracking.
The AI will select titles and images, but the content has to be written by a human. Most ads will be on the AR interface and not the internet. VR will be around and growing, but it is still not accepted by the majority.
The attribution problem will be solved, and by then, most of the algorithms in social media will be figured out, so the ad budget will be higher; also, because the depression is still around, every business is desperate to find clients willing to pay.
I also believe that more companies that do unethical marketing will be canceled. Also, the world will be divided into super tribes that meet digitally but are bound in the real world with borders. Maybe in ten years, we will see the first network state.
I foresee that sustainable business marketing, spiritual growth hacking, and customer loyalty hacking, will reach enormous levels of popularity.
@jas801 That's horrifying. Marketing is not reductionist. Data science is reductionist and while it has its inherent values, it is not human. Marketing is about creativity, it is not a "data science" and that's why it's failing today. And will continue to do so, until it figures out where the data stops and the creativity begins.

@giles_crouch
Marketing without the human touch feels empty.
Sadly most marketeers I know assume the know people, based on their assumptions about the world.
Henceforth when you use data to understand your customer better, then apply creativity to inspire emotion, you get best of both worlds.
We are only at the beginning of this marketing paradigm.
I would argue the opposite, that most digital marketing nowadays is assumption based and therefore feels more misplaced with reality.

@giles_crouch I suspect you are afraid this data is everything paradigm.
I don’t believe we are our data; it's a small fragment of our human experience.
Ethical marketing will be further developed in the coming years.
I loathe all those marketers who only zealously pursue growth, not willing to reflect on the impact of their actions on humanity and the planet.
But I understand this consciousness level that we are already moving beyond as a society.
If you are interested in a model of how society is going to develop, which won’t be consistent progression, check out the book spiral dynamics.
Actual influencers. Like editors at magazines who know their space and can comment intelligently. Back to the future!
AI-driven marketing in Augmented reality.
@vladimir_rigenco That would be a nightmare. AI is algorithms. Marketing is the cultural side of business. AI would utterly kill it.
LongShot AI
1. For starters, marketing content (text, images, videos) will largely be in the realm of AI. Content "creation" will be more like content editing / retouching.
2. Hyper personalization. To the point that we'll start seeing native scenes in the movies you watch (custom to you), personalized stanzas in songs you listen to.
3. Almost all digital products will be dirt cheap or free. (like yours @stefaniya_sparysheva)
4. Digital products started to move from on prem to cloud 20 years back. They will again move back to on prem (or edge). So customers will likely pay "ONE TIME" for majority of digital products.
5. A significant amount of purchases will be in cryptocurrencies. Which will give a hardtime to marketers to adjust CAC, MRR, ACV, LTV, etc.
6. We'll start to see products being purchased by one's "digital self" more or less on it's own will. The marketers will need to woo your digital counterpart too.
@stefaniya_sparysheva @ankurpandey_info That's trying to rationalize marketing, which is ridiculous. Marketing is about culture and thus, human behaviour, AI does not understand culture. It is far too rational, driven by algorithms that are biased to those creating them.
LongShot AI
@stefaniya_sparysheva @giles_crouch how do you know the culture? By learning about it, right?
AI will also do the same.
And I'm not claiming that AI will become the next David Ogilvy or Steve Jobs - those will always be due to human ingenuity! All it has to do is to do better than your decent everyday digital marketer.
Which of the 6 points I mentioned specifically you disagree with?
We can consider Metaverse in the future. It will create a new advertising ecosystem with new ways of product placements and ads
The marketing future is Magnetiq! :) More detail: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
This will really stump all of you, it’s already here and has been for 5 years but nobody thought about it, they just listened to authoritative others.
The way you optimise your pages:
Optimise them from the viewpoint of an 📉SEO professional 📉and your seo will always be Slow, fact.
Apply it the correct way, I delved more into why this happens;
Optimise your pages as a 📈CEO or business owner📈would and their SEO awill be a lot faster than the norm of SEO is slow.
To successfully get your pages to accelerate away, [no twiddling thumbs waiting months after months to wake up] Google wants to see the full picture but doing it the SEO professional way it only see a partial image, so the page flatlines which is poor value for ROI.
Everytime SEOs are optimising pages they are looking at this the wrong way, so SEO will always be Slow, everytime.
ruled by AI !
@huipin_zhang @giles_crouch i agree to disagree... but AI will be too advanced and give much more cutting edge ideas
@andrewcanday Yes, AI helps inbound marketing especially contents marketing.
@andrewcanday @huipin_zhang Not really. It stifles creativity and stops potentially good marketers from using critical thinking.
In 5 to 10 years, it's likely that digital marketing tools will get even better at narrowing in on quality links. They might also be able to tell us more about our audiences in the future. Digital marketers will then be able to improve their SEO metrics and tactics.
