EDITOR’S PICK
#AI IN MARKETING
Personalization at scale used to be a pipe dream—now, it’s a competitive necessity. AI is making hyper-targeted content, promotions, and customer interactions effortless, but the real challenge is earning trust and staying relevant without crossing the line.
Brands like leading retailers are ditching blanket discounts for AI-driven precision offers, while financial services firms are crafting real-time, dynamically optimized messaging based on behavior and context. But as personalization gets smarter, consumers are setting the terms—they’ll trade data for relevance, but only if brands play fair.
How do you personalize without alienating? How do you scale without losing authenticity? The brands that master this balance will dominate.
