Let's Get Comfortable With the 'Grey' – Embrace Ambiguity.

An invitation to embrace ambiguity, uncertainty, and the unknown in marketing by integrating artificial intelligence at its core. Let's join the movement to be comfortable doing the right thing, even when it leads us through shades of grey with no clear-cut answers, benchmarks, or ready frameworks. We should have confidence in the grey and use community platforms like these to unpack answers together with collective wisdom and foresight.

Why Marketers Have a “Seat at the Table” in the Growth of AI

Key Discussion Points

  • Focus on the strategic role that marketers play in shaping AI development to ensure it meets real consumer needs.
  • Give perspective on the AI-marketer relationship in India - bring out why the ‘marketer’ is gradually moving to be front and centre in light of this evolving role.
  • We see the role of marketers today evolving from ‘Marketer to Media companies’ - they are involved in diverse roles across content curation, and actively involved in creating podcasts, interactive content and other material. AI has fuelled their roles reducing dependency on others.
  • Today marketers need to experiment and innovate with AI - this is a heightened priority therefore a seat at the table ensures they have autonomy to decide key experiments and actively measure output. 
  • Use Cases where marketers have taken the lead and it has benefitted the organization.
