AI in Marketing (Overview & Core Applications)
The 4 working pillars of AI: Automated Bidding, Generative Creative, Predictive Analytics, and Conversational AI
In Simple Words (Zero Jargon):
Understanding how artificial intelligence runs behind the scenes to bid on ads, generate video and text copy, predict customer churn, and answer support chats automatically.
Why It Is Critical
AI is no longer an optional add-on - it already runs Google Smart Bidding and Meta Advantage+ auctions by default. Marketers must separate "AI running in the background" from "Generative AI used as an active drafting assistant".
