    Elevate your brand’s game through the power of generative AI!

    Mumbai: In the fast-paced world of business, staying ahead of the curve is essential for success. One of the most transformative tools at your disposal today is generative Artificial Intelligence. Leveraging the power of AI can be the key to elevating your brand’s game to new heights. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all marketing. Generative AI can craft personalised marketing content that resonates with individual customers. This includes tailored email campaigns, product recommendations, and social media advertisements. AI analyses customer behaviour and preferences to create content that speaks directly to your target audience, increasing the effectiveness of your marketing efforts.

    In this article, we’ll explore how the industry experts have shared their thoughts on AI revolutionising brand’s operations and enhancing customer engagement, ultimately driving growth and success.

    Edited excerpts

    Buffalo Soldiers co-founder & head of delivery Arnab Kundu

    In the digital age, a brand’s potential is boundless. Generative AI isn’t just another tool; it’s a transformative force, reshaping narratives and crafting experiences previously deemed impossible. It helps elevate your brand’s game not by mere increments, but by leaps and bounds. With the power of Generative AI, we’re not just telling stories; we’re birthing universes, creating moments that resonate deeper and longer. And the game has just begun.

    BottleOpeners co-founder & CEO Sachin Kumar

    In the ever-evolving landscape of marketing, the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning has been widely acknowledged. While their role in brand building through content creation is not a novel concept, recent strides in technology have brought automated text generation, particularly in language processing, to the forefront. Brands are looking to harness the power of generative AI to enhance consumer lives, emphasising the pivotal role of content in this transformative journey.

    Recent advancements enable AI to craft news, blog posts, and marketing copy efficiently, fundamentally altering the content production landscape. Bain’s survey, spanning 600 companies across 11 industries, identifies generative AI’s key applications in customer engagement and service (47%) and content generation and localization (39%).

    This dynamic field has become mainstream, offering unparalleled quality, reliability, ease, and speed. Tech leaders are fuelling increased budgets into AI language technology, with a notable 10% surge since 2020. For brands, the rise of generative AI signifies a golden opportunity to revolutionise brand building through differentiated content created with ease and at high speed.

    The Hype Capital founder Sachin Shah

    AI has been the talk of the town in 2023, and we’ve had a very diverse set of reactions from people. I believe Generative AI can help us take our game to the next level. From crafting compelling ad copy to generating stunning visuals, Generative AI is like unleashing a creative genie from the data-driven bottle. However, using text-generating tools can be tricky because you don’t always get perfect things in one go – you always have to iterate on the results and explain what you liked and what doesn’t work for you. For visuals, it is not easily accessible to all with credit limits and packages. It also requires a decent understanding of styles to generate solid output. If you have the patience, time, and curiosity to learn, experiment and iterate it can be helpful. For now, Generative AI can be your ally in helping your brand go to the next level if you know how to use it

    Generative AI models like GPT-3 are trained on vast amounts of text data and can generate human-like text based on the input provided. This technology can be used for a wide range of creative and practical applications for a brand to elevate its marketing and positioning among the Target Audience.

    Generative AI can have a major impact on the following aspects of Brand Positioning:

    1) Effective content/communication creation

    2) Improve customer experience with Personalization.

    3) Data Analysis and Insights

    4) Advertising and Marketing activities

    5) Campaign execution and optimization

    Generative AI can help in building effective brand stories and messaging to create impact among the audience and can help a brand to build an efficient roadmap for various marketing and operational activities thereby leading to more effective campaigns and ROIs.

    QYOU Media India senior VP – programming & strategy Ashutosh Barve

    Generative AI is transforming the game for the content industry and this is only the beginning! To stay ahead of the curve, we at Q TV have recently launched content that has been scripted, voiced, and animated using AI tools. Idea brainstorming, research, visualisation, graphics, packaging, and unique custom animation as well as enhancing post-production are all possible within minutes using available AI tools.

    AI, in my opinion, won’t replace a creative human mind, but will certainly enhance the quantity and quality of work done, and I think within a very short period of time those who are masters in harnessing the tools of AI, will stand head and shoulders ahead of those who can’t. The near future is about optimising and re-skilling, and not about fearing AI.

    Animeta CEO Devdatta Potnis

    With generative AI, more so than the other technological advancements; it is not just about automating tasks; but amplifying human potential in the truest sense. It’s about augmenting the creative process, enhancing ideation, and enabling the brand to achieve feats that were once unimaginable or unexecutable for the lack of scale, volume and/or complexity. In the fast-paced, ever-changing digital landscape, staying ahead requires more than just keeping up. It demands a bold stride into the future, and generative AI, when blended with the driving force of human intelligence, is the key to unleash that. It’s the force that propels a brand to go from great to groundbreaking, from inventive to iconic.

    Spicetree Design Agency founder/director Shiraz Khan

    Using generative AI for content, creative, and brand strategies increases efficiency, productivity, personalization, and data insights.

    As we gather more ideas and inputs from generative AI, it is expected to find that they can become repetitive. Over time, this can result in losing authenticity and innovative thinking. While AI can help generate content, relying too heavily on it can lead to losing the personal touch and human connection crucial for connecting with the target audience. AI-generated content may lack the emotional resonance and creativity that human-generated content can provide. Additionally, there is a risk of generating low-quality or inaccurate content without proper oversight and validation. Therefore, it’s essential to strike a balance and not over-rely on AI tools.

    A thoughtful and strategic approach to implementing AI can maximize its benefits while minimizing drawbacks, ultimately improving a brand’s digital game. Therefore, generative AI should be used judiciously and selectively for maximum impact.

    In conclusion, the power of generative AI is a game-changer for brands looking to excel in today’s competitive business landscape. By implementing AI strategically in your operations, you can enhance customer engagement, streamline processes, and make data-driven decisions.
