What's Changing in 2023?

A Look at AI and Automation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere — and AI tools have officially joined the everyday marketing tech stack.

In 2023, marketers are doing everything they can to
reach their target audiences, with demand for innovative, dynamic content at an all-time high. Resources, however, are stretched. AI is helping to ease some of this pressure, with AI features to help with outline generation, video creation, and more. Content creators and marketers now have a new skill to learn — getting good at using AI.

We surveyed marketing leads around the globe to find out what's top of mind for them this year.

More than four in 10 marketers (42%) say the number of campaigns they work on each quarter increased from 2021 to 2022, and this increasing load shows no sign of slowing. By leveraging automation, they have more time to focus on the impactful, creative work that AI can’t replace.
