Blink, and It Changed Again
Generative AI wasn’t even on most marketers’ radars two years ago. Now? It’s everywhere. In your inbox. On your homepage. Writing your ad copy.
The pace is staggering…and it’s only picking up speed.
(What’s that song again? Cha-cha-cha-chaaanges…)
If you want to keep up, have to build for what’s next.
So, What’s Next?
AI is a super tool: part teammate, part magic 8-ball, part caffeine-fueled intern who never sleeps, tracking all the trends. The trends we’re tracking?
- Tools that don’t wait for commands: they take action (think AI that launches a campaign while you’re in a meeting)
- AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity becoming the new “homepages”…which means Google is no longer your only search concern
- Targeting based on what people do, not just who they are
- Marketers leveling up into new hybrid roles: part creative, part analyst, part technologist
- And a tidal wave of regulation around privacy, ethics, and transparency—faster than most orgs are ready for
The rules are being rewritten in real time. And the teams who get ahead? They’re the ones who adapt before they’re forced to.
What You Actually Need to Thrive
Spoiler: it’s not just more tools.
AI-ready marketers need to know how to talk to AI (yes, prompting is a skill), make sense of the data behind the output, and still steer the ship strategically. Oh, and keep the brand voice intact while doing all of that.
Also? Curiosity. Adaptability. Ethics. Those soft skills are about to become your biggest differentiators.
