What does the ‘rise of the machines’ mean for marketers?
According to Marc Pritchard, the Chief Brand Officer of Proctor & Gamble human creativity will not be replaced by machines. “Can machines do analysis? Yes. Can machines do algorithms? Yes. Can machines sift through mass amounts of data? Yes. Can machines gain consumer empathy and insight? No. Can machines come up with brilliant creative ideas that touch human emotions? No” (CNBC). According to SessionM CMO Patrick Reynolds, “Marketer Insight + Actionable Data + AI/ML = Greater share of the wallet and lower attrition and churn” (Why ‘Rise of the Machines’ Isn’t the Fall of Marketing Jobs). So fear not marketers, and embrace working with machines to get the customer experience selection just right.
