The C-suite continues to see marketing and sales as the areas where AI is providing the best ROI, according to a new Marketbridge survey.
Fifty-two percent of C-suite executives and marketing leaders at B2B technology companies surveyed said AI is assisting in deploying marketing and sales resources more cost-effectively to capture market opportunities. The same percentage said is significantly aiding with positioning solutions in a more personalized and relevant way. Oddly, only half saw the technology helping to create customer-facing content, which seems to be the most popular use by marketers.
All those surveyed recognized the need for substantial investment requirements, but not all agreed on where. Larger firms anticipate needing more capital for data, people and technology. However, smaller firms, with more limited resources, plan to concentrate more on process redesign.
