It’s no secret that AI can generate all kinds of content for your marketing needs. The trick is, well, actually using it. The other trick is making sure it fits with your brand’s vibe. And that’s when having a marketing team to cultivate, perfect, and ultimately implement all that AI-generated content effectively comes into play.
Quantity was never the issue, it’s a question of quality. And relevance. And effectiveness, and like 50 other “-nesses” that make sure your audience doesn’t take one look at your content and think “I’ll bet AI made that.” And what makes sure your AI-Generated, StoryBranded content stays on track? Humans. Humans who have a knack for marketing.
With that in mind, here are 12 things a marketing agency will think about before you do:
- Determine the purpose of the generated content: lead generation, brand awareness, engagement, or conversions.
- Set measurable KPIs (e.g., click-through rates, engagement, or sales).
- Use audience segmentation to tailor content based on demographics, behaviors, and preferences.
- Customize the tone, style, and format to resonate with specific audience segments.
- Ensure the generated content aligns with your brand voice and values.
- Use prompts and guidelines that reflect your brand personality to maintain consistency.
- Test different variations of AI-generated content (e.g., headlines, images, CTAs) to identify what performs best.
- Monitor results and refine the content based on data insights.
You don’t have time for this. But while you’re throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks, picture “everything” as your time and money, and notice how much of both you’re wasting. You know who does have time for this? Surprise, it’s GoalPost.
- Distribute the content across multiple platforms, such as social media, email marketing, blogs, and ads.
- Tailor the content format to each platform (e.g., short videos for social, detailed posts for blogs).
- Use AI to generate drafts but refine and optimize them manually for accuracy, creativity, and human touch.
- Incorporate visuals like infographics or videos to enhance engagement.
- Use AI to generate keyword-rich blog posts, product descriptions, and meta tags to improve search engine rankings.
- Regularly update content to maintain relevance.
- Use AI to craft engaging email subject lines, social media captions, and interactive quizzes or polls.
- Respond to comments or questions using AI-assisted suggestions while maintaining a human touch.
AI is a place to start, a place to inspire, a place to collaborate and improve. It’s not plug-and-play.
- Use analytics tools to monitor how AI-generated content performs.
- Focus on metrics like engagement rates, time spent on page, and conversions.
- Continuously test new formats, styles, and strategies with AI-generated content.
- Leverage AI tools to identify trends and adapt your content to stay ahead.
- Pair AI-generated content with human creativity to craft compelling stories and campaigns.
- Use AI for efficiency and human oversight for authenticity.
- Disclose when content is AI-generated to maintain transparency.
- Avoid misleading or overly automated interactions that could harm your brand reputation.
The takeaway? Collaboration. Humans are flawed and relatable. AI is really good at content output in a big way. Together they make great digital marketing that will lead to your success.
