AI For Marketing Panel Discussion
AI is changing marketing fast, but the interesting question isn’t what AI can do. It’s what businesses are actually using it for right now.
Join us for an AI for Marketing Panel Discussion featuring three local professionals who are putting AI to work in marketing, content creation, customer engagement, and business growth.
Our panelists bring three different perspectives:
We’ll talk about how AI is changing the way businesses create content, reach customers, automate marketing tasks, and decide where to spend their time and money. We’ll also get into what’s working, what isn’t, and where human creativity still matters.
Expect a practical conversation rather than a parade of AI buzzwords. We’ll discuss real tools, real workflows, lessons learned, and ideas you can take back to your own business.
What We’ll Cover
We’ll explore topics including AI-assisted content creation, social media and digital marketing, customer targeting and personalization, marketing automation, video and creative production, measuring ROI, and how small businesses can get started without building an enormous AI tech stack.
We’ll also talk about the limitations of AI and where relying too heavily on automation can actually make your marketing worse.
