Today’s marketers are placing the ‘customer’ at the front and center of all its processes as key to sustaining and growing the brand and business.
Customers are more demanding than before. That is why Customer Experience (CX) is critical for companies to differentiate themselves from competition, improve customer satisfaction, foster loyalty, reduce churn and ultimately, increase revenue.

User experience is vital in digital marketing and this marketing approach allows companies to achieve such goals, he adds. Companies could utilise the data they collect to send personalised marketing content to users. They could also continually improve their websites and apps to make them more user-friendly.
This compares with sending customers inappropriate marketing material that could annoy them and put them off your products or services. “Things like sending an email with the same content to all your clients and hoping for them to respond are a bit old school. It is an old method and not the way to go,” says Srivatsan.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually shifting from the science fiction arena toward the domain of digital marketing. IT companies are not the only businesses interested in AI, but along with API technology, it attracts the attention of businesses from a variety of industries.
The experts in data processing and analysis use a whole set of terms to define AI and its related technologies such as machine learning, deep learning and cognitive computation. All of these share the same strategic task; to evolve from rule-based, programmed systems to flexible mechanisms capable of decision making and self-adapting to fast-paced business realities.

Over 90% of smartphone owners use apps, and 72% of app users churn within the first three months of installing a new app. As marketers reevaluate acquisition programs, shifting payment down the funnel from installs to engagement, the approach should be centered around the consumer experience.
Focusing on minute optimizations of marketing and UX alone largely neglects users and user experience, from high-level acquisition through down-funnel engagement in-app. Marketers and developers alike have forgotten that a smartphone is likely treated as more of an appendage than an accessory. Phones are highly personal devices, filled with carefully organized and curated applications intended to make life easier (e.g. maps, banking, email) or fun (e.g. games, social media, shopping).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are finding their way into customer service, scientific development and more. Many marketers have been waiting for the option to use AI systems to solve problems in their niche. Many professional marketers are wondering when these systems will be ready.
Evaluating AI for a complex need in marketing ultimately comes down to examining the challenges that marketers face today. Not every average marketing agency has the budget aside that they can use to develop AI systems or use deep learning algorithms. The problem with most AI systems is that they commonly take a lot of computing power and development before they can get off the ground and produce reliable results.
