so there are some clear signs of AI’s growing influence in marketing that I wanted to share. It looks like several players are making big moves.
- Smart Strategic Marketing has unveiled its plans for 2026, which came out after CES Las Vegas.
- OpenAI is planning to introduce ads into the free version of ChatGPT.
- OpenAI promises that the ads won’t be too intrusive for users.
- MARKETER has rebranded to Digital.Marketing.
All this points to how central AI has become for platform growth. The rebrand of MARKETER to Digital.Marketing really underscores this shift.
The key lesson for you is to consider how AI integrations, like ad placements and platform evolution, could reshape user experiences and marketing strategies.
