In today’s ever-evolving marketing landscape, it’s not secret that grabbing customers’ attention and guiding them through the sales funnel is a non-stop race. Traditional marketing techniques have their merits, but they often lack the element of surprise that today’s tech-savvy and discerning customer craves.
This new era of customer expectations, pushes brands to think outside the box and embrace innovative marketing approaches. The days when impersonal emails could simply replace the {first_name} field with the customer’s and expect him to be impressed are long gone. This is where conversational marketing comes into play, revolutionizing the way businesses interact with their audiences.
The rise of conversational AI agents in marketing strategies
Artificial Intelligence has left its mark in almost every industry and job function and marketing is no exception. The advent of intelligent marketing tools and generative AI such as ChatGPT, has created a plethora of opportunities for marketers to do what they already thrive in. Create immersive customer experiences and convert leads to clients.
