You’ve sat through enough webinars and white papers promising that AI will “transform your marketing.”
But you’re still wondering: is anyone actually making this work or is it all just some theory?
You’re not alone. Most AI marketing advice falls into two extremes: too abstract to act on or too shallow to matter.
What’s missing are real examples that show how teams are using AI to get measurable results without losing their brand voice or wasting resources. This article fills that gap.
In this article, I'll walk you through 10 AI marketing case studies with real data, results, and tools you can learn from and adapt to your own strategy.
If you’re only here for the tools, check out our video breakdown of the top 20 AI marketing tools for businesses:
AI marketing case studies matter because they show which tactics drive real results, help justify budgets and guide experimentation. Beyond proof, they reveal practical insights across industries and functions, so you can adapt the strategies to your context and avoid costly trial-and-error.
These case studies demonstrate companies utilizing AI for speed, scale and prediction across various industries. You’ll find that they all share a common thread: AI improved existing expertise and didn’t replace it.
The key takeaways from these case studies show that AI amplifies human creativity, enables scalable personalization, performs best when trained on your brand, enhances customer experiences invisibly and delivers compounding results when applied to specific tasks.
By 2030, AI will reshape marketing. Brand visibility will depend on AI-driven search and strategic human‑AI collaboration.
Across these case studies, marketers used AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, AnimateDiff and Adobe Firefly to scale content, personalize experiences and optimize campaigns.
With Visme’s extensive range of AI tools, you can easily turn your ideas into polished visual content in minutes.
Why AI Marketing Case Studies Matter?
When you're pitching a budget for AI tools or defending why your team needs to experiment with AI for business, you need proof that the investment will pay off.
The good thing is, there are numbers to back you up. According to a Coshedule report, marketers using AI are 25% more likely to report measurable success than those who don't.
These case studies give you real-world context behind that statistic to help strengthen your pitch.
But there's also a more practical side to it: not every AI tactic will work in every situation. For instance, a B2B SaaS company might not be able to run the same playbook as a consumer goods brand. That's why you'll find examples across industries and across different marketing functions, including content marketing, customer experience and performance advertising.
The goal here isn't to replicate these case study examples. It's to help you identify what fits your situation, skip the expensive trial-and-error phase and build your own swipe file of proven strategies you can revisit when new challenges come up.
AI Marketing Case Studies You Can Learn From by Category
AI in Social Media & Engagement
Case Study 1: The Original Tamale Company: Viral AI video
A small family-run tamale shop in LA went viral after creating a 46-second meme-style video using AI for scriptwriting and voiceover. They used ChatGPT to write the narration and edited the video quickly using accessible tools in 10 minutes. The video featured a person falling from the sky and crash-landing at their shop. It was funny, unexpected and tied back to their food.
Results
The video pulled in over 22 million views and more than 1.2 million likes in just three weeks. Plus, it drove foot traffic to their store and expanded their customer base.
Takeaway
The video’s virality wasn’t driven by AI alone; timing and cultural relevance played a major role too. Christian Ortega, marketing manager at The Original Tamale Company, told Business Insider:
“If I see an idea that I know really clicks with the company or with the audience, I will make something as soon as possible and post that.' The key question he asks: 'How can I make that work for my business?”
AI's role was speed. It helped them script and produce the video fast enough to ride the trend before it faded. The human insight, spotting the meme format, understanding their audience and adding humor drove the results.
How to Apply it:
1. Spot trends: Monitor what’s resonating in your industry or among your audience. Use tools like Brandwatch to track trending formats on social media.
2. Validate fit: Just like Ortega, start by asking the right questions to test the fit: “How can this work for my business?” or “Does it solve a real problem for my audience?” Only proceed if you can tie the trend authentically to your product, service or brand story.
3. Leverage AI for speed: Feed ChatGPT or Claude the trend context and your brand angle:
“I’m a [business type] and want to adapt [trend description]. Write a 30-second script that ties it to [product/value] humorously or surprisingly.” Ask AI to generate 3–5 variations, pick the best ideas and improve them.
4. Create the video quickly: Turn your script into a polished video using Visme’s AI Video Maker, then add narration in seconds with Visme’s Text-to-Voice feature.
Case Study 2: IBM x Adobe Firefly: Scaled graphics content with AI
IBM launched a series of imaginative ads showcasing how it helps clients solve complex challenges using AI, data and cloud technology. IBM partnered with Adobe for the campaign and used Firefly to generate over 200 original images with 1,000+ variations while maintaining brand consistency.
The campaign drove 26 times higher engagement compared to IBM’s benchmark for similar non-AI campaigns. Even more, 20% of the engaged audience were C-level decision makers.
Takeaway
IBM, despite having a 1,600-person design team, still needed a faster way to quickly adapt one creative concept to resonate across different industries and regions.
For smaller teams, the lesson is even more powerful: you don't need a massive design department to execute sophisticated, multi-variant campaigns. AI tools let you punch above your weight by generating the volume of content that used to require entire agencies.
As Ari Sheinkin, IBM's VP of Global Demand, put it:
“Organizations are under incredible pressure to deliver highly personalized experiences across many channels and generative AI provides us a path to effectively scale these efforts.”
How to Apply it:
Start by mapping out 2-3 key audience segments you want to reach differently. For each segment, identify what messaging or visual angle would resonate most.
Next, develop one strong core concept that communicates your main value proposition clearly. This serves as the creative foundation that can be adapted for various audiences.
Now use AI tools like Visme AI Image Generator to generate graphics or carousel-style content tailored to each segment quickly. Input a prompt that describes the type of visuals you want to create. Then choose from several output styles: photos, paintings, pencil drawings, 3D graphics, icons, abstract art and more.
Test visuals and copy across platforms (LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.) and use performance data to perfect your next creatives.
AI in Personalization & Customer Experience
Case Study 3: A.S. Watson Group: AI-Powered Online Skincare Advisor
Our next example is from A.S. Watson Group, the world's largest international health and beauty retailer. Instead of opening more physical stores to deliver personalized service, they brought that experience online. As part of their O2O (online-to-offline) strategy, they partnered with Revieve to launch an AI Skincare Advisor across their e-commerce sites.
Here's how it works: Customers complete a questionnaire, upload a selfie and AI-powered computer vision analyzes 14+ skin metrics such as skin type, concerns, tone, texture and more. The system then generates personalized skincare routines and product recommendations.
Results
Customers who used the AI advisor converted 396% better than those who didn’t and spent four times more. Their average order value (AOV) increased by 29%.
Takeaway
A.S. Watson used AI to replicate the kind of hands-on consultation you'd get in-store, but delivered it online, instantly and at scale.
Whatever industry you’re in, if your customers need guidance to make the right choice, AI can help you deliver that experience faster and at lower cost than human support alone.
How to Apply it
Spot decision friction: Identify where customers hesitate, abandon carts or repeatedly ask the same questions. These are your opportunities to provide expert guidance and nudge them towards making a purchase using AI.
Determine functional needs: This could be personalized recommendations or dynamic content delivery.
Implement AI solutions: Choose a tool that solves your identified needs. AI personalization tool options include:
VWO Personalize: VWO Personalize helps you make your website feel more relevant to each visitor. It watches how people interact with your site, such as what they click on, how long they stay and what pages they visit and then automatically adjusts what they see.
Adobe Target: You can use Adobe Target to create detailed audience groups (like “frequent buyers” or “first-time visitors”) and then test different versions of your site or app to see what works best for each group.
Braze: With Braze, you can send personalized messages through channels like email, push notifications, in-app messages, SMS and social media.
Implement and Optimize: Integrate the platform, test experiences and use analytics to improve the results over time.
Case Study 4: Verizon: Using GenAI to Improve Customer Loyalty
In 2024, Verizon launched several GenAI initiatives. These tools enabled real-time personalization, such as offering tailored promotions the moment a customer entered a store.
Verizon also applied GenAI to predict the reason behind 80% of incoming customer service calls to help route users to the right agent faster and more effectively.
Result
Reduced in-store visit time by 7 minutes per customer and helped prevent an estimated 100,000 customers from churning.
Takeaway:
While many companies rush to replace their support teams with automation, Verizon took a smarter route by empowering its agents with better intelligence. Customers reached the right person quickly and agents were equipped to make relevant recommendations on the spot. A fast, informed human response is a competitive edge.
How to Apply it:
Option 1: Use secure AI APIs with your data
Tools like OpenAI, Google Vertex AI or Azure OpenAI let you run AI models on your customer data without hosting infrastructure. Use anonymized CRM data to:
Generate personalized email responses based on customer history
Predict common support issues and surface relevant help articles proactively
Route inquiries to the right team member based on past interactions
Option 2: Leverage AI-native CRM tools
Platforms like HubSpot ChatSpot, Salesforce Einstein GPT or Zendesk AI already integrate GenAI into their workflows. These tools help to:
Auto-suggest responses to support tickets based on similar past cases
Personalize outreach based on behavioral data
Identify at-risk customers before they churn
AI in Content and SEO
Case Study 5: Adore Me + WRITER: Accelerating Market Launch with AI Content Agents
Adore Me, a direct-to-consumer lingerie brand, needed to scale content production across product descriptions, multilingual website copy and stylist notes without losing brand voice or expanding headcount. Instead of outsourcing, they used Writer's AI Studio to build role-specific AI agents for different workflows.
They trained one agent to generate SEO-optimized product descriptions in their brand tone.
Another handled Spanish translations for their Mexico launch.
A third agent drafted personalized stylist notes, which human stylists then refined.
Result
Adore Me reduced stylist note writing time by 36%, reduced the time for generating product descriptions from 20 hours to 20 minutes per batch and slashed localized launch time from months to just 10 days. Most notably, they saw a 40% increase in non-branded SEO traffic.
Takeaway
This case highlights why AI agents are shaping the future of marketing operations. Agents work autonomously within defined workflows, acting like specialized team members for specific tasks.
For Adore Me, the product description agent follows SEO requirements and brand voice, the translation agent preserves tone across languages and the stylist note agent generates and formats drafts ready for review.
As agent technology advances, marketing teams can orchestrate networks of specialized agents to handle high-volume workflows, while allowing humans to focus on strategy, quality control and creative direction.
How to Apply it
Goal: Start building your agent-based content system now, before competitors do.
Identify one workflow-heavy task with a repeatable process: Product descriptions, blog posts, social captions and FAQ responses. This becomes your first agent.
Build a specialized agent: Use platforms like Writer, custom GPTs or Dante AI. Train it on your best examples, brand guidelines and task-specific requirements. The more focused the role, the better it performs.
Define clear operational boundaries: Specify what the agent handles autonomously (generate drafts, format content, apply SEO) and what requires human approval (final publication, strategic messaging).
Measure and refine: Track quality, time saved and business outcomes. Review monthly and improve the agent's training based on results.
Case Study 6: Ghostwriting at Scale: How Vector Built a Repeatable CEO Content Engine
Most ghostwritten content for executives sounds generic, inconsistent or obviously written by someone else. Vector, a graphics software company, tackled this challenge by building an AI-assisted system that captured the authentic voice of their CEO, Joshua Perk and turned it into multiple weekly posts that genuinely sounded like him.
Rather than having AI generate posts from scratch, they fed it real data: past content, voice patterns and personal insights. The outcome was impressive. They succeeded in building a consistent, scalable content engine that delivers 4 to 5 high-quality posts each week.
“The AI gets me about 80% of the way there and a quick 15-minute review and edit gets the posts to 99%.”
Result
The CEO’s LinkedIn following grew from 7,000 to 11,000 followers and inbound demo requests quadrupled. The company also received more organic partnership inquiries.
Takeaway
Vector saved time and maintained consistent content output thanks to AI. The success, however, came from training the AI on the founder’s authentic voice, feeding it with original insights and applying a quick human edit.
How to Apply it
Build your voice archive. Collect 20-30 of the founder's best posts, emails or presentations. Analyze for recurring phrases, sentence patterns, how they open and close ideas, use of examples or analogies and formatting quirks (short paragraphs, bold text, emoji usage).
Train a custom AI model. Use custom GPTs or Claude Projects. Feed it the voice archive with instructions: “Write in this exact style.” Include brand guidelines and examples of good versus bad outputs.
Establish weekly content mining. Schedule 15-30 minute interviews with prompts like: “What surprised you in customer calls this week?”, “What's a common misconception you keep hearing?”, “Tell me about a recent win or challenge.” Record and transcribe these.
Create your production workflow. Feed the transcript to your trained AI with this prompt (used by Jess): “This is the transcript of a video clip Josh is going to post. Using his documented tone and voice, please give me a LinkedIn post for this video.” The AI generates 3-5 draft posts. An editor reviews for accuracy and adjusts tone. Then, your founder reviews and gives the final approval.
Creating professionally designed visual assets and content can be seamless. Visme’s AI-powered visual content engine can be used to create all kinds of marketing content across the entire marketing funnel, from awareness to conversion, within a fraction of the time.
Let’s check out some examples of what you can create at each stage of the funnel:
Case Study 7: Heinz: Turning AI Experiments into Marketing Impact
To reinforce its dominance as the ketchup brand, especially among younger, tech-aware audiences, Heinz launched a campaign using DALL-E 2, OpenAI’s text-to-image generator.
They prompted DALL-E with phrases like: “Ketchup street art”, “Renaissance ketchup bottle”, “Ketchup in space”. Even when the word Heinz wasn’t mentioned, the AI frequently generated images that resembled Heinz’s iconic bottle: the shape, label and color scheme.
Heinz invited the public to submit their own prompts and turned selected AI-generated images into real marketing: social posts, ads, print creatives, even limited-edition bottle designs.
The campaign generated over 850 million earned impressions, with social engagement 38% higher than previous Heinz campaigns. It delivered approximately 25 times the value of the media investment.
Key Takeaways
The brilliance was in using AI to create tangible proof of brand dominance. Heinz didn't make people think, “Wow, AI is cool.” They made people think, “Heinz really owns ketchup,” and they demonstrated it in a way people wanted to share.
How to Apply it
Use AI as a mirror to see how your brand is perceived and what it’s associated with. And then fine-tune your positioning, where needed. You don’t need to turn the experiment into a full campaign like Heinz.
Start by prompting tools like GPT, Claude or Gemini with:
Category terms, e.g., project management software
Value-based descriptors, e.g., the best project planning tool
Emotive and abstract associations (Nike: inspiration, Apple: premium)
Observe the output. If your brand doesn’t appear or feels generic, that’s not a failure of AI; it’s feedback on your positioning. Use it to improve your branding position and association.
AI in Email & Lifecycle Marketing
Case Study 8: Phrasee + Virgin Holidays: AI‑Generated Subject Lines that Convert
Before using AI, Virgin Holidays relied on in-house or external copywriters to produce just 2-3 subject line options per campaign. It was time-consuming and the results were “fairly flat.”
To improve this, Virgin Holidays partnered with Phrasee, an AI-powered copywriting platform. Phrasee was trained on their brand guidelines and tone of voice, then used to automatically generate and select the best-performing subject lines. Over time, it continuously learned from campaign performance to upgrade its output.
Results
Virgin Holidays achieved a 2% increase in open rates, which translated to millions in additional revenue across their email program.
Takeaway
The AI didn’t just write random variations; it learned Virgin’s voice and optimized for audience preferences. The feedback loop between performance data and subject line generation created compounding improvements.
How to Apply it
Generate multiple variations of email copy: Use AI tools like Copy.ai, Jasper or ChatGPT to create 10–20 subject lines or body copy quickly. Give the AI context: audience, campaign goal, tone of voice and angles (urgency, curiosity, personalization).
Test systematically: Don’t pick the “best-sounding” line, use A/B or multivariate testing to compare subject lines, preview text and send times.
Track performance beyond opens: Monitor click-throughs, conversions and revenue per email. Record subject line type, metrics and audience segment to uncover patterns.
Feed insights back into AI prompts: Incorporate patterns that work into new prompts. Example: “Generate 10 subject lines using questions and mild urgency, under 50 characters, for our promotional email.” Repeating this loop drives compounding improvements.
Case Study 9: HubSpot — AI‑Powered Nurture Email Flow
HubSpot transformed its standard email nurture workflow from segment-based to intent-based personalization using AI. Instead of grouping leads into broad categories like “marketing leads” or “sales leads,” they built a system that predicts what each individual is trying to accomplish based on form responses, behavioral data and website activity. The AI then matches each lead to content aligned with their specific goal.
Results
The intent-based nurture flow achieved an 82% increase in conversion rates compared to the previous segment-based approach. Open rates rose by +30% and click-through rates increased by +50%.
Takeaway
The shift from segment-level to individual-level intent prediction required multiple data signals and continuous iteration. HubSpot refined its prediction model, improved training data and tested variations. The compounding effect of this learning loop drove the 82% lift.
How to Apply it
The good news: If you're using HubSpot Marketing Hub Enterprise, you can implement personalization in your automated workflow emails using their built-in AI feature. It generates unique email content for each recipient using their contact information.
The setup is straightforward:
Create an automated email in a workflow, add a text module and click the AI icon to insert a “Dynamic text token”
Enter a specific prompt. Example: “Based on this contact's industry, job title and recent website activity, write two sentences explaining how our product solves their specific challenge.”
Add fallback text for recipients without enough data on their records
Test the output with up to three contacts before sending
AI in Influencer Marketing and Brand Ambassadorship
Case Study 10: Karen X Cheng: AI-Stylized Instagram Art Video
Karen X Cheng, a content creator, nailed what most brand partnerships miss: making a sponsored post feel exciting and authentic, not like an ad.
In her video for Insta360, she walks through a series of animated portals, each styled with different AI-generated art techniques like watercolor, oil painting and sketch. She shot everything using the Insta360 X4 camera, then turned it into an animated AI video with AnimateDiff.
When sharing the captivating video, she also gave a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, which naturally highlighted the camera’s features.
Results
The post got +1 million views and +50k likes, hundreds of comments and saves.
Key Takeaways
When the creative idea is solid enough to shine on its own, showing off the product features doesn’t come off as just an ad. It starts to feel like real proof that it works. Karen's video earned 1M+ views not because it featured a camera, but because the AI-enhanced creativity was genuinely scroll-stopping.
The attention came first and that attention naturally made people curious about how she created it, bringing the product into the conversation organically.
How to Apply it
Find creators already authentically experimenting with AI: They know how to merge tech with storytelling and their audiences are primed for innovation.
Treat AI as a creative edge, not a cost-saver: Don’t assume you’ll pay less because “AI makes it faster.” Skilled creators using AI to create better content and increase engagement.
Give freedom within a framework: Share your must-haves, but let creators lead execution. Karen’s video worked because it stayed true to her unique style.
Case Study 11: Nike x Serena Williams: “Never Done Evolving”
When Nike used AI to create a simulated match between a young and seasoned Serena Williams, it wasn’t just a tribute; it was a PR strategy. AI allowed Nike to repackage Serena’s 20+ year career into an emotionally charged, visually original story that earned coverage everywhere from sports blogs to tech media.
The campaign sparked global press attention without launching a product or spending months on production.
Result
The live‑virtual match video streamed on YouTube reached 1.7 million viewers. Organic views were as much as 1082% higher than Nike’s previous organic content.
Key Takeaway
AI helps you create stories worth sharing. If you’re struggling to get public attention or backlinks, use AI to find creative angles and visual narratives that media outlets and influencers actually want to link to.
How to Apply it
Here’s a framework a lean team can run:
Pick a timely or emotional hook: What story would your audience or industry media care about right now?
Use AI to explore angles: Use LLMs, search tools or your own data to surface patterns or insights.
Package it as an asset the press would love: short report, visual explainer or 30-second video. Visme’s AI video generator
Pitch with purpose: Identify 5-10 relevant outlets or influencers and provide them with a tailored reason to share or cover your content.
Key Takeaways from Using AI in Marketing
The case studies we’ve explored reveal consistent patterns worth paying attention to.
Here’s what they are and how to apply them practically, even with real-world constraints.
1. AI Multiplies Human Creativity, Not Replaces It
In every successful campaign, AI served as an amplifier, not an autopilot. It didn't replace the insight, taste or strategic judgment that made the content valuable in the first place.
Karen X Cheng’s influencer content wasn’t AI-generated by default; it was creatively directed.
Jess Cook didn’t let AI generate posts from scratch. They fed it real data: past content, voice patterns and personal insights.
This corroborates what SEO expert and founder of Domainer, Dwight Zahringer, said:
“Human-AI collaboration for competitive advantage is where the real opportunity sits. When everyone has access to the same AI tools, the differentiator becomes knowing which questions to ask and how to layer human expertise on top of AI output. Companies that figure out this balance will dominate their niches.”
Pro Tip: When pitching AI initiatives to stakeholders, lead with the problem you're looking to address, not the technology. “We should use AI for content creation” won’t cut it. Instead, focus on how AI tools can boost your team’s productivity and fetch better results.
2. Personalization at Scale Is No Longer a Luxury
A McKinsey study found that fast-growing companies generate 40% more of their revenue from personalization compared to their slower-growing competitors.
IBM Watson AI is a solid use case of using AI for personalization at scale. Its AI agents analyze customer data to deliver tailored experiences, even predicting customer intent with up to 80% accuracy before users express their needs. A.S. Watson also used AI-driven skin analysis to recommend products that converted 4x better than standard browsing.
With a personalized experience, customers felt truly understood like these brands got their needs and knew exactly how to meet them.
Just as Colleen Barry, head of marketing at Ketch, said:
“What excites me most for the future is AI-driven personalization at scale. For years, marketers have been talking about 'the right message at the right time,' but in reality, most personalization has been pretty surface-level. Now, with AI, we're seeing tools that can adapt web experiences, email campaigns and even ad creative in real time based on user behavior and intent signals.”
Pro Tip: Identify one high-friction decision point where customers get stuck or abandon. Map the data signals you capture at that moment (behavior, preferences, context). Use AI to predict what they require next and deliver them proactively.
3. Train AI on Your Brand
One of the strongest use cases came from ghostwriting systems like Vector’s, which trained GPTs on a founder’s LinkedIn voice and style. It created repeatable, brand-authentic content without starting from scratch.
Pro Tip: Train AI using your own materials (emails, posts, transcripts) so it learns your tone and perspective. This makes the output feel like you, not generic AI. Whether you're a solo founder or a full team, this unlocks scalable, on-brand content across thought leadership, marketing and support.
4. AI That’s Invisible to the Customer Often Drives the Most Loyalty
Verizon didn’t make a big show of using AI. They just made support faster, smarter and less frustrating. The Original Tamale Company used AI to craft a funny, emotional video, but the tech never overshadowed the storytelling.
In both cases, AI enhanced the experience without drawing attention to itself. That’s what customers respond to. It shows that people aren’t against companies using AI, they just can’t stand it when it feels lazy, robotic or soulless.
Pro Tip: Use AI in ways that enhance the experience without drawing attention to the tech. Whether you’re automating backend workflows or crafting standout creative, just focus on being helpful, thoughtful and original.
5. AI used for specific tasks improves quickly
Virgin Holidays didn’t just use a generic AI tool; they used one that continuously improved its output using performance data. Generic AI delivers linear benefits, but purpose-built tools deliver compounding returns. The system learns, adapts and improves on a specific use case, increasing your chances of getting a better result each time.
Pro Tip: Use AI tools that are designed for specific tasks. For example, AI design tools like Visme adapt based on your content patterns. They learn from performance data and get better at your specific use case in a way general-purpose tools can't. Tools like ChatGPT’s Custom GPTs or Claude Projects can also be trained to match your brand voice, analytics or past campaigns.

AI in marketing is picking up speed and it's not slowing down anytime soon.
By 2030, things are going to look a lot different from today. The global market for AI in marketing is set to explode, going from $12.05 billion in 2020 to over $107.5 billion by 2028, which translates to a whopping 36.6% annual growth rate.
But it’s not just about the numbers. The real shift is how AI will completely change what marketers do, how consumers experience brands and the competitive scene.
Here's what leading research firms and industry experts predict for the next 2–10 years:
Brand Visibility Will Depend on AI Engine Optimization, Not Just Traditional SEO
With AI search platforms like ChatGPT, Claude and Google's AI Overviews changing how people find content, traditional SEO is evolving into Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
If your brand isn't mentioned in trusted media sources that AI platforms reference, you're invisible to AI-driven searches.
“With LLMs growing, we're going to see a paradigm shift in a lot of industries, but, fundamentally, end users' needs need to be met with good quality results, whether they are AIOs or traditional search results. Subsequently, being present in both is going to be crucial to maintain traffic and to drive conversions/revenue.”
AI search doesn't just index your website; it summarizes the web's collective perception of you based on what authoritative sources say about your brand.
What this means for marketers: Press releases, guest articles, thought leadership and media coverage are more relevant now than ever. Use tools like Keyword.com to monitor how your brand performs on the AI platform. Brands that flow with this shift early will dominate AI-driven search results while competitors scramble to catch up.
“In terms of the hype cycle, I feel we're near the peak of where we are going to be with LLMs now. There are a couple of realities that are starting to hit home.”
What this means for marketers: The unlimited promise of AI will give way to more realistic expectations. Brands that over-relied on AI without human oversight will face trust issues as errors become more visible. The winners will be those who used AI strategically and built quality control: augmenting human expertise rather than replacing it entirely.
AI Agents Will Replace Apps
Gartner predicts that by 2027, mobile app usage will decrease by 25% due to AI assistants. Consumers won't browse your website or open your app; they'll ask an AI agent to complete tasks on their behalf.
The shift is already underway. As Vertasia noted in this Search Engine Journal article:
“AI-powered content generation is just the beginning. What's coming next is a new generation of agentic marketing tools, autonomous systems that don't just generate content, but also take intelligent actions across the marketing funnel.”
These agents are autonomous collaborators managing entire workflows, from campaign generation to multi-platform optimization, without human intervention at each step.
What this means for marketers: Your brand needs to be discoverable and actionable through AI interfaces, not just traditional channels. If ChatGPT, Claude or Google's AI can't find, understand or recommend your product when asked, you're invisible to a growing segment of consumers. Marketing in 2030 will be less about capturing attention and more about being the answer AI agents trust and recommend.
