Shownotes

Is AI coming for your marketing jobs? Well, it’s a yes and no situation. Change is inevitable, and while AI is set to transform our industry by automating many tasks, those who are ready to learn and evolve have a unique advantage. I’ve started comparing AI to an excavator to emphasize the importance of expertise in navigating the use of AI.

AI will inevitably take over your repetitive and mundane tasks, allowing you to shift to more creative and strategic work. However, this shift brings the risk of burnout. As AI takes over the repetitive tasks, we’re left with the cream of the crop - the complex, demanding work that can be incredibly rewarding but also taxing. Managing our time and energy wisely will become even more critical. The answer might be to rethink the traditional eight-hour workday to accommodate more breaks and self-care.

I anticipate a continued influx of tools and platforms designed to leverage AI for marketing jobs. This democratization of creativity means that niche and specialized knowledge will become even more valuable. Those who can pivot and adapt, offering unique and targeted content, will thrive.

The genuine, empathetic relationships we build with our clients and colleagues as AI technology advances will become our most significant asset. By focusing on personalized interactions and understanding the nuanced needs of the people we serve, we not only differentiate ourselves in an increasingly automated world but also ensure our indispensable role. Embracing the people-centric aspect of our work, being a trusted advisor, and solving problems through a human lens are the keys to thriving amidst the AI revolution.

At the end of the episode, I talk about what’s coming in season two – including shorter episodes and a greater focus on AI in marketing. Thank you to everyone who made season one a big success – Madison McCuiston, our guests (Kayla Wells, Paula Phelan, Deevo Tindall, Justin Chen, Mike Begg, Reggie James & Cody Schneider), Bogdan Zaytsev, and my brother Mike DeMicco.
