How AI Has Already Lost Its Marketing Value

It sure didn’t take long (nothing seems to these days), but AI has already lost its marketing value (as a word). Like a hit song, consumers have already grown sick of hearing about AI. So it’s already pointless to use it in advertising. In fact, there’s a growing argument that it causes consumers to tune out of the rest of your messaging!

AI Marketing Tools are Still Amazing, Though

Don’t get me wrong, AI is still driving some of the most amazing innovation in professional marketing today. And as marketers, the tools will continue to be a force multiplier for our people. But as a word, or a differentiating factor when comparing one product or service against another, the party’s ended prematurely.

“Like a Hit Song, Consumers Have Already Grown Sick of Hearing About AI”

Now What?

To clearly differentiate our brands, products, and services we’ve got to use words that hold meaning in the minds of consumers. A recent article in CopyBlogger.com talked about how to remove cliches from our advertising copy. AI has basically become cliche already.

So we’ve got to start talking about it without talking about it. In other words, think about what the REAL benefit AI creates in your situation and find a unique, non-cliche way to communicate THAT.

After 3 decades as a professional marketer, serial entrepreneur and business consultant Steven Ludwig shares his best practices for small business marketing for owners, managers, and marketers with limited time, money, and expertise. Steven started his professional marketing career in broadcasting in the early ‘90s in Chicago after attending Valparaiso University. After a brief stint at an advertising agency specializing in entertainment and sports marketing where he worked with radio and television stations, movie theatre companies, record labels, musicians, and professional sports teams, he moved to Nashville to form The Marketing Group with his long-time business partner, Jim Wood. Having worked with some of the largest brands in the world, in 2010 he returned to local marketing primarily out of an interest and excitement for working with small business owners to build stronger companies. That desire comes out of early days in radio, where he worked closely with everything from car dealerships to restaurants, insurance and real estate agents, banks, home services companies, and specialty retailers of all kinds. Over the past decade, he has been on the bleeding edge of digital marketing technology, constantly seeking to understand complex strategies employed by giant corporations and then translate those capabilities into tactics small businesses can execute at a local level. Today, in addition to other business ventures with his wife and other long-time business partners, he still lives outside Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee and currently serves as Executive Chairman of EmpowerLocal, a digital marketing company building a nationwide network of digital, hyperlocal news and lifestyle publishers to provide efficient advertising opportunities for local, regional, and national brands.
