This blog post is a collaboration between Growth-nomics and Advance Career. Our partner is a growth marketing agency that specialises in Performance Marketing & SEO. In this article, we would like to discuss the transformation of marketing and the new job positions it has created.

The Revolution of Data Science and AI in Marketing

This powerful combination of big data and AI has created a revolution in how businesses predict market trends, understand consumer behaviour and create strategies more effectively.

Big data makes possible the collection and analysis of large volumes of data. Through big data analysis using AI technology marketers can understand data they couldn’t before. It has become a vital skill for every marketer, as well as a requirement to stay ahead of the trends and be able to predict what their target audience is expecting from them.

AI is the game changer for providing personalised marketing to consumers. The algorithms acquire more data, the system “learns,” AI is getting trained and improved as the data set grows. It searches through data to provide the most relevant information to each user, using natural language processing, natural language understanding, and natural language generation.

The significant impact of AI is due to its advantage in processing information faster and in scale. With good prompting, AI can know which story to tell and which abilities and emotions to use through every touchpoint of the customer journey. Finally, marketers have the automation tools to free their time and let them focus on strategy and be more creative in their work.

Growth-nomics’ annual marketing report shows AI as one of the most significant changes of our era that will impact the way marketing is being done in the future.

More specifically the change is already happening, as AI is reshaping the marketing industry.

That is what makes us sure that AI will open many doors for new candidates trying to find a job position in this industry.
