Unpacking the Latest AI Marketing Software with Dustin Lien

The DigitalMarketer Podcast

Online marketers are needing to stay abreast of the latest AI tools in this Wild West e-commerce industry. Machine learning requires humans to learn, too.

So how are the human digital marketers keeping up?

In this urgent race to become the AI tools of choice – from first-party data software to AI email marketing – there's a lot out there to play around with and be dazzled by.

Which AI software brands are likely to survive though? And how do you know what will work best for you and your client?

Thankfully, we have Dustin Lien, DigitalMarketer's former marketing manager, to guide us on a few of the latest AI tools he's been using with his company, JumpX Growth.

Skio, QuickAction, Tare, and BlackCrow are just some of the software apps he's shedding light on for us today.

Dustin is actually pinging AI software developers on Slack and helping to improve some of the coding, illustrating that there's room for collaboration between marketers and developers in this AI 'first to market' scramble.

As an undercurrent theme, there's a lesson in humility by way of encouragement for marketers who perhaps feel too afraid to learn new tools.

The upside to all this learning and what these new AI tools can bring is that you can personalize your campaigns beyond your wildest imagination.

Understanding customer cadence ('When does an individual client open his emails and is more likely to be receptive to an offer?', for example) means that new AI marketing software will make a client feel like a campaign is way more personalized.

AI is empowering brands to make them feel that you care about them more. We feel good when a brand is personalized to us. With that personalization comes belonging, and with that belonging comes a sense of community.

And then we're back to celebrating the wonder of the lifetime customer in our community and all this new AI learning seems totally worth it.

Dustin Lien is the Founder and CEO of JumpX Growth, which has done over $35 million in revenue for their clients over the past few years.
