I’ve been following the AI buzz in marketing, and it’s not just about the obvious stuff. While automation and content creation grab headlines, there are other key developments. Datalinx AI, for instance, just got $4.2M to solve marketing data problems. Plus, Lloyds predicts £100m in value from AI this year.
What I learned:
- The Travel Marketing AI Summit is coming to New York.
- AI’s impact extends to data clean-up and new CMO roles.
- Industries like travel and real estate are getting specialized AI attention.
- AdEdge has a free webinar on January 29, 2026, on winning in AI search.
How you can apply this: Think beyond AI as just a content tool. Consider how AI can refine your data strategies, impact your role as a marketing leader, and offer opportunities within specific sectors.
Now it’s your turn: What are some unexpected ways you’re seeing AI impact marketing in your day-to-day?
