Top Marketers use Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence to drive growth


Automation and machine learning technologies are changing the way marketers drive results for their customers and brands. But there’s still a significant gap between those who are just talking about machine learning and those who are taking action. For marketers looking to become leaders in their field, this is an exciting time. It’s a chance to make your mark, get ahead of competitors, and drive real results.



To explore this shifting landscape, we partnered with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan Management Review (MIT SMR) to conduct a global survey and interview over a dozen executives and academics about their use of automation and machine learning technology and the results they’re seeing.

Do more with your data

Companies with appreciations to use machine learning have more ability to drill-down and see their KPI data in greater detail. This can lead to increased knowledge sharing and transparency, and help teams work together to make smarter, data-driven decisions that achieve corporate-wide goals. In fact, organizations that are incentivized to use machine learning believe they are better than their competitors at making data-driven decisions.

Get a more holistic view of your customers

Business success today relies on your ability to have a current and integrated view of your customers, only then you can develop meaningful relationships with them and deliver long-term brand growth. Our research, found that organizations with appreciations to use machine learning also have KPIs that help them develop an integrated view of their customers. What our research find five years down the road, is that the people who took the early bets in artificial intelligence actually achieve the learning that cannot be copied.

Our findings how there are clear opportunities for marketers to get ahead of the pack. While nearly three-quarters of the survey respondents believe their organizations, current goals would be better achieved with greater investment in machine learning and automation, only half the surveyed organizations have any incentives to make such investments.

Here are a few ways your organization can embrace machine learning and grasp the opportunity.

Make your marketing count

Our research shows that marketing professionals are more than twice as likely as their mainstream counterparts to agree that their organization is already investing in automation and machine learning technologies to drive marketing activities.2 When these marketing activities are linked to business goals, we see a significant upward growth trend.

Stop Reacting and Start Predicting

Organizations with incentives to use machine learning are able to move away from old-fashioned retrospective or reactive KPIs and make smarter decisions with forward-looking and predictive performance goals. That’s because with machine learning technology, KPIs no longer have to be analytic outputs, but rather data inputs that help train algorithms to anticipate opportunities for growth. People can’t tell you what they might want next, so we take cues from past actions to predict future intentions.
