Episode Highlights & Takeaways “AI is something that’s going to help marketers,” Raj began, noting that many worry about AI being something new and different. “If you’re in marketing, you do what you do best. Provide excellent and superior customer service. And what AI does is allow you to scale this customer service and personalize it.” Where should marketers get started with AI? “Start with first-party customer data—you have to have a strong data foundation. From here, you look for value pockets where AI can help you scale.” A good reminder/warning about your data: “You will never have perfect data. And if you wait for it, it will be too late—your competition will beat you there.” What brand has made Raj smile recently? Raj began by claiming that I made him smile. Host flattery? I’m here for it. Raj followed up with his real brand smile—Ford. Recently, the automaker announced that they’ve stopped taking orders for the new electric Ford F-150. This made Raj smile as it’s a good sign that we’re moving away from fossil fuels.
