If I have to put all my money in only ONE marketing

channel today, which channel would I choose?

Platform

No single channel can truly address all the

permutations of the customer journey, but still if I

have to choose a channel today, I would probably

choose.

Amazon (strictly my opinion!)

What about 6 - 12 months back? Would my choice

be any different?

The only way to know channels that work & are emerging

is through rapid, granular tracking of Marketing ROI.

How does AI enable rapid, granular insight at scale

and effective cost?

17


Platform

How does AI enable rapid, granular insight at scale and

effective cost?

1. Consumer voice through text, image & video content

2. Learn from high dimensional data available

3. Establish situational context & tracking of marketing

performance

4. Support rapid test & learn

Platform

Use AI/ML to tap into

consumer voice

Consumers express their opinions,

reactions & perceptions through various

digital & social forums. Use of AI/ML

algorithms to mine context & sentiment

provides a rich source of signals required

to understand ongoing brand sentiment.

#Convolutional Neural Nets

#Deep_Learning_NLP

19


Platform

Harness rich, high

dimensional data.

The marketing process generates massive

amounts of data, but it is mostly very high

dimensional and short run time series. AI &

ML domains provides high dimensional

pattern extraction & causal reasoning

techniques that help exploit the

information available in such large data

sources.

#High Dimensional Covariance Estimation

#Matrix Factorization #Clustering

#Decision Trees

Thousands of variables that

reflect media tactics,

audience characteristics

Short timeframes

(12 – 24 weeks of data)

Platform

Establish situational

context & tracking

marketing performance.

We leverage very similar AI

algorithms that establish situational

context & tracking of the performance

of a marketing channel, without the

need to observe and track each

consumer.

The key role of AI/ML is to be able to

adapt to various levels of data

availability & data noise to establish

actionable outcomes.

The navigation, tracking & control of the

Mars Rover was done from 54.6 million

miles away without a clear view of the

rover.
