Marketers are aware of the critical importance of personalizing the customer journey in order to stay competitive, drive repeat purchases, and improve the customer experience. They’ve heard of machine learning and AI but don’t really know what it means or how to even start. Typically, marketers suffer the following symptoms when it comes to AI for marketing:

• They’ve heard how Google, Facebook, and Amazon are all using machine learning and AI to improve their products and services to delight customers
• They don’t know what the definition of machine learning and AI is but know it has something to do about robots and automation
• They don’t have any data scientists or statisticians on their team to help them nor do they have the budget to afford them at the moment
• They would like to start using AI to produce quick wins and ROI in the next 3 months but don’t know where to start
