The main thing I can envision is AI being a go-to companion for marketers, not replacing them. AI could automatically segment leads, aid with copywriting in real time etc
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@aaronoleary I agree, AI is definitely going to bring some incredible changes. 🙌🚀

I believe in the next few, a more humane approach to marketing will take precedence. This can include marketing around social / cultural issues and community building around a shared purpose.
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@jareer_samad Yes undoubtedly, the human aspect, the segmentation of one's customers and the personalisation of communication will be crucial

AI will definitely play a bigger role. Also, the role of the community will be increasing constantly.

@shivam_jha3 Well yes, this can be seen in near future. 🙌

I imagine AI will seep into marketing as well in the next few years. My bet would be on AI-tuned ads and content. Things that look like regular videos and posts, but are actually ads in disguise.
Sofia Li
@xgrv Agree. Ads in disguise in all sorts of content, with the help of AI.
Ishan Nangia
@xgrv Yes. Similar to what is happening with product placement these days in influencer/content creator based videos

In 5-10 years, I think marketing will be even more data-driven and personalized than it is today. With the continued development and advancement of technology, marketers will have access to even more data and insights about their customers and their behavior, which they can use to create highly targeted and personalized marketing campaigns. I also think that the use of AI and automation will continue to increase in marketing, with AI being used for tasks such as predictive modeling, data analysis, and even some forms of creative work, such as copywriting and design. Additionally, I believe that customer experience will become even more important in marketing, with companies focusing on creating seamless and personalized experiences for their customers across all touchpoints and channels. Overall, I think the future of marketing will be focused on using data, technology, and customer experience to create highly effective and personalized marketing campaigns.

I have a crazy idea - what about AR/VR social networks? That would be so cool.
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@marko_rakic2 Yes I think it is a very good idea

Marketing will heavily depend on interactivity in the coming years.

What should marketers learn for keeping their position in AI, the digital age?
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@huy_xuan The marketer always has to learn. In the coming years, he will have to adapt to a swift change of platforms and communication, there will be the metaverse, and these are just a few things he will have to learn.

It is difficult to predict exactly what marketing will look like in 5-10 years, as it will depend on a number of factors including technological advancements, changes in consumer behavior, and the evolution of the business landscape. However, it is likely that marketing will continue to become more data-driven and personalized, with AI and machine learning playing an increasingly important role in targeting and delivering messages to consumers. Marketing may also become more focused on building long-term relationships with customers, rather than simply driving short-term sales. Additionally, the rise of new technologies such as virtual and augmented reality may change the way companies market their products and services.

@anshaj_goyal Beautiful analysis, congratulations. I have been using product hunt for a while now, and this was the most comprehensive reasoned response I have read. Bravo
Sunil Ayar
More automation will be there.
geeta chaturvedi
I think it is highly unpredictable
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@geeta_chaturvedi Certainly, but those who foresee or analyse can create products with needs that we do not currently have but will have
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@jason_andries1 I agree with you; brands will start to enter this new parallel world. Will the process be slow?
Hitesh Mistry
Nothing will change in terms of nailing your target audience and having an irresistible offer. But how you reach your audience, engage and influence them will of course be different depending on the new apps and tech available.
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@hitesh_mistry Yes, exactly, but this will change everything in a way.
Sofia Li
I think no matter what tools people use to do marketing, there will be less room left for stretching things. Competitors in all sorts of products are growing, and customers will be unsatisfied if they feel cheated.
Brian Finnerty
Marketing is always about what the customer wants, needs, and values. That's not going to change in the next five or ten years.
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@brian_finnerty Thank you for your answer, but there will also be developments in communication.
Ishan Nangia
Much more hyperlocal and more personalised and targeted ads. People are different and so are there motivations and needs. Ads should be able to adapt to this underlying context from one person to another. No single ad should be the same when shown to two different people.
Giovanni Ghigliotti
@ishan_nangia I agree, that's what is happening right now and AI will make ads much more personalized and alluring. I am looking forward to the day I start seeing ads from PH on my IG. 😉
Nishank Goyal
Interesting discussion definitely, wrote on the same thing recently on Medium. https://medium.com/@nishankgoyal... I think marketing is synonymous to community, and with rapid advancements in Web3, we will be moving towards decentralized marketing where user will own their attention.
