Looking beyond the AI Hype cycle: Investment insights for CMOs. As AI hype grows, many startups are emerging/will emerge with superficial solutions that are merely wrappers, primarily using ChatGPT / Claude and similar models. It is almost a given that any modern martech / adtech play today needs AI plastered on it. And that's not a bad thing. It's just part of the adoption cycle. Given that data is the fuel for AI, those solutions that have vast data and user bases will thrive. Think OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Bard etc..and most marketing use cases can be folded into any of these offerings. Does this mean there won't be any unique, niche AI solutions? No. What is sure is that most 'opportunistic wrappers' will be wrapped up into the larger model fold. What is key for marketers is to fully experiment with the myriad of wrappers that are flooding the market but know full well that your investments must be rooted in solid real-world value that is sustainable in the long-term. Think of the current crop of solutions as your sandbox. Play. Experiment. Understand. So you can be well informed, your team well equipped and ready to choose right when you are ready to write that big check. #AI #Marketing #CMO (image via ChatGTP 4o)
