How to Scale-Personalize Your Marketing With AI

John Ejiofor / February 17, 2019

The nature of marketing has made it absolutely necessary to embark on the survival of the fittest and this can only be done by constantly honing and upping your area of competitive advantage. Fortunately for you, however, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently opened the door to scale-personalize without compromise. No two customers are exactly the same, there are differences, concerns, feelings, pain points, and needs that must be addressed individually. But in a world of 7.7 billion people as of February 2019, according to the most recent United Nations estimates, it seems almost impossible to scale-personalize marketing. How do you go about attending to the different needs of these people, when everybody wants to be reckoned with? This is surely a herculean task especially now that customers want to know where, when, and how without being given excuses. Humans have constraints as well as the propensity to be inconsistent, therefore, it becomes difficult to effectively create responses that can appeal to a larger group at the level of the individual.

How to Boost Account-Based Marketing With AI

John Ejiofor / January 30, 2019

Kaplan and Haenlein, define Artificial Intelligence ( AI) as “a system’s ability to correctly interpret external data, learn from such data, and use those learnings to achieve specific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation.” Account-based marketing (ABM) on the other hand completely depends on data and its interpretation. On a daily basis, people are churning out very large volumes of data and according to sources, about 1.7 megabytes of new information will be created every second for every human being on the planet by the year 2020. Since technology has conferred the status of a global village to the world, trails you leave anywhere in the world can easily be located, collated, analyzed, and stored in a database for future use. Some few years back, it wouldn’t have been easy to get this information and even where you do it would take much time and effort.
