Oracle Marketing Consulting: Issue 92

Ready or not…

We’re rapidly heading into a world where generative AI like ChatGPT and Dall-E do more of the day-to-day marketing work. Understanding how these technologies work gives us insight into how they might help our businesses grow, and where they might need to be closely watched to avoid costly and embarrassing errors—like Google’s Bard giving incorrect information in its very first demo. Now is the time to begin the process of once again adapting to a new era of technology, remembering that the modern workplace has changed dramatically many times before.

Say What?

 

“The return of in-person events and a partial return to office—where people can be reached via direct mail—have put two critical components of ABM back on the table. With economic times tight for many brands, it’s a time for ABM to shine, helping companies retain and expand their best customers.”
