Digital marketing has become a valuable strategy to fuel any business’s growth and helps its organization to establish an authoritative online presence. According to a leading Digital Marketing platform organization WebFX, 89 percent of marketers say methods, like search engine optimization (SEO), are successful. Additionally, methods like pay-per-click (PPC) advertising increase brand awareness by as much as 80 percent. (Source: https://www.webfx.com/digital-marketing-services.html).

According to Market Research Future (MRFR), this growing trend, predicts the potential market size of USD 119,077 Million by 2025 for the Global Digital Marketing Software platforms and products, at a compound annual growth rate of 19.4%.

The following survey from various sources indicates the size of Digital Marketing industry in India:

1. 34% of the companies already had an integrated digital marketing strategy in 2016
2. 72% marketers believe that traditional model of marketing is no longer sufficient and this will make the company revenue to be increased by 30% by the end of2017
3. In 2017, 80% businesses will increase their digital marketing budget which may surpass the IT budget. Only the illiterates could not access the potentials of the digital marketing because of the accessibility to computing devices and computer education. Many of the people in this category still don’t trust the method of an online payment and they lack training in English Language and other foreign languages to market online in global markets.

Discussion on the Study

Influence of AI on Digital Marketing

Artificial Intelligence and Digital Marketing are two terms that in recent years have started to progress together hand-in-hand. The constant innovation and consistent development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to make significant and permanent changes to the world of Digital Marketing & Advertising.

But with time, it is starting to become accepted as the future of Digital Marketing and may become the platform for future campaigns and advertising strategies.
AI is often improved & developed through Machine Learning. Machine Learning is essentially an application of Artificial Intelligence that provides computer systems with the ability to automatically learn and improve from past experiences without actually being programmed to do so by a human. It relies solely on a set of patterns and algorithms that it uses to train it and make more accurate actions or assessments.

Despite the serious issues that need to be solved before widespread adoption, artificial intelligence offers immense benefits to marketers, consumers, and society at large by facilitating marketers’ ability to create and distribute value at scale to the right people at the right time in the right way. This ability can be realized through a mix of improved emotional capabilities within employees like empathy and creativity, and a constant focus on quality data-driven cultures within organizations. As AI automates repetitive tasks, marketers can increasingly align their efforts towards value-generating activities that improve the lives of consumers, allow for higher work place satisfaction, and empower creative thinking for societal benefit at-large.

AI is now more accessible for businesses, making it a valuable tool for digital marketers. It is irrefutable that AI largely influences the choices of customers, helping to provide relevant recommendations and timely customer services.
