Artificial intelligence is giving marketers the opportunity to work in ways that drive revenue growth, increase productivity and efficiency, and generate greater ROI. Although we understand the potential of AI, many marketers struggle to understand where and how to begin.

AI in marketing encompasses a lot of hype and buzzwords. Which, in return, makes it difficult for marketers to sift through what’s important, trustworthy, and most importantlyーnecessary. 

That’s why we launched Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute in November 2016 with the mission to make AI more approachable and actionable for modern marketers. In short, we’ve developed a deep knowledge of AI and its potential for professionals like you.

The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to AI in Marketing contains the most useful resources we’ve found in our nearly decade-long journey to understand and apply AI. We designed this guide to help you put your education about AI into hyperdrive. This resource will help you simplify AI, understand how to use it, and apply it into your organization.
