According to McKinsey, the implementation of AI can increase earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by 20%, which evidences that artificial intelligence is already bringing significant financial benefits to companies today. Just to compare in 2022, global spending on applied AI reached $104 billion. Companies using AI in marketing report an average 21% increase in customer satisfaction. We at M1-Project are convinced that the integration of AI into marketing strategies opens up new horizons for business. Let's consider how exactly AI is transforming digital marketing and what opportunities it provides for your business.
How AI is used in digital marketing
AI is no longer just a tool, but the foundation of marketing strategies. Companies that ignore it are already losing money. Data accumulates at an incredible speed, and traditional methods of analysis can no longer cope. A person cannot process millions of behavioral signals in seconds — AI can.
Personalization of marketing has changed radically. Previously, brands tried to guess what the client needed. Now AI knows it in advance. Amazon does not just offer products, but predicts what the user will buy next. Netflix tests different movie covers to choose the one that will work for you. Spotify creates playlists based on your hidden preferences, and not just on obvious actions.
The same principle works in email marketing. AI analyzes when and to which letters a person responds, and sends messages at the perfect moment. If earlier mailings looked like mass “buy now”, now they are personalized down to the details — from the subject of the letter to a specific offer. Brands that use AI in email marketing increase open rates by 50% and boost conversions by 2-3 times.
Advertising has changed, too. In Google Ads, AI finds ideal audiences, tests creatives, and adjusts bids. You no longer need to spend weeks on analysis — algorithms do it instantly. Facebook and Instagram work on the same principle: AI finds those who are most likely to perform the target action. This is not just automation — it is a way to dramatically reduce the cost of a lead and increase ROI. Companies that completely delegate management to AI reduce advertising costs by 30-50% because algorithms work more accurately than people.
Content generation no longer requires a team of copywriters and designers. AI creates advertising texts, articles, video scripts, and presentation designs. ChatGPT and Jasper AI are already writing texts for brands. Canva AI generates visuals. Social Media Content Generator from M1-Project analyzes the audience and helps create content that really works.
And, of course, automation of communications. AI chatbots replace call centers, voice assistants recommend products, algorithms process customer requests without human intervention. AI chatbots already solve 80% of customer questions, reducing the workload of operators and increasing the speed of request processing.
Large companies no longer argue whether AI is needed. They simply use it, increasing sales and reducing costs. The question is: are you ready to integrate AI into your marketing strategy or will you catch up with competitors?
What Is AI-Generated Content for Digital Marketing?
Text is no longer the property of humans alone. Machines write news, create advertising campaigns, select headlines, and sometimes even sound more convincing than human authors. AI doesn’t just copy style — it analyzes millions of data points, predicts which wording will work best, and adapts content to the audience in real time.
Editors are already trusting AI with serious tasks. The Washington Post publishes materials written by Heliograf without the intervention of journalists. At Reuters, AI creates analytical reports, speeding up the department’s work several times. Jasper AI and ChatGPT write texts that sell, and neural networks like DALL E and Midjourney create visuals that art directors were recently paid for. The question is no longer whether AI can create content, but whether anyone notices the difference.
Why does AI generation work?
First, speed. A person needs several hours to write an article or a post. AI does it in seconds. Companies that use AI for content marketing create 5-10 times more materials without increasing the budget.
Secondly, data analysis. AI does not just write, it studies trends, analyzes audience behavior and selects the content format that will work best. It knows which words cause more clicks, which headlines increase email open rates, which topics are at the top of search queries.
Thirdly, personalization. AI adapts content to each user. The same product can be presented differently to different audience segments. Amazon and Netflix do this in e-commerce and streaming, but the same principle works in articles, advertising campaigns, and email marketing.
AI content generation is not limited to texts. Social Media Content Generator from M1-Project analyzes audience engagement and helps create posts that work. Canva AI automates the creation of visuals. Descript AI edits videos, and Synthesia creates AI-generated presenters who present content.
Some fear that AI will replace content marketers. This is a myth. AI is a tool, but not a creator of ideas. It can write an article, but it will not come up with a unique point of view, will not make a sharp analysis, will not add emotions. Therefore, the best marketers are not afraid of AI, but use it to work faster, more efficiently and accurately.
Large brands have long been testing AI generation, but the technology is available to small businesses. The question is not whether AI will displace people, but who will adapt faster and gain a competitive advantage.
How AI is changing digital advertising
Humans are too slow. They are not able to analyze in a split second who will see an ad, which creatives will work better, which audience will bring the maximum ROI. AI does this without pauses, without emotions, without guesswork.
Google Ads has been running on AI for a long time. Previously, a marketer manually selected keywords, tested headlines, adjusted bids. Now algorithms themselves allocate the budget, select effective ads, analyze competitors and optimize the cost per click in real time. If a business continues to manage advertising manually, it simply spends more than it should.
Meta and TikTok use AI to predict audience behavior. Their algorithms understand what content retains users, what they react to, which videos cause purchases. AI manages your feed, selects ads, predicts what you will like in a week. Advertising campaigns in which AI adjusts creatives and targeting in real time show 50% higher conversions.
Here is also programmatic advertising (Programmatic Ads), where AI automatically buys advertising space at the moment when the audience shows interest in the product. Nike, Airbnb, Amazon are already completely dependent on this format. They no longer place ads directly, but catch the moment when the user is ready to buy.
Creative work has also changed. AI adapts advertising creatives to different audiences, generates personalized ads, tests hundreds of options simultaneously. In Facebook Ads, neural networks select colors, wording, images - based on what converts your audience best.
If AI manages advertising budgets, predicts user behavior and creates creatives itself, there is only one question left: is your marketing ready for the new reality?
Is AI a threat to digital marketing?
The panic around AI in marketing is reminiscent of the fear of the first computers. Back then, they also said that machines would replace people. In reality, AI does not take jobs — it changes the very nature of marketing.
Companies that do not understand how to adapt will indeed find themselves in crisis. AI reduces teams, removes routine, makes marketing more precise. Previously, a brand could allocate millions to advertising and hope for success. Now AI requires proof: who is your audience, what pains are you solving, how accurately the message is selected.
The danger for specialists is not in AI, but in the inability to use it. Marketers who know how to work with data will not only maintain their positions, but will become more valuable. Those who cling to old methods will be left behind.
Let's take AI content. It generates articles, writes advertising texts, optimizes SEO. This means that there is no longer a place for copywriters who simply rewrite information. But AI only helps those who understand the strategy, know the audience and can create meanings.
Advertising? You no longer need a team of ten targeters. AI analyzes data, manages budgets, finds an audience faster and more accurately than people. But it will not replace strategists who understand how to integrate advertising into the funnel.
Creativity? AI can make beautiful pictures, but it will not come up with a brand identity. It will not create an emotional story that will remain in the memory. It can help, but it cannot replace.
So the question is different: does your marketing use the capabilities of AI, or will you catch up with those who adapted faster?
What jobs AI can't replace in digital marketing
AI already writes texts, optimizes advertising, analyzes data, and even generates creatives. But there are areas in which it is still powerless. Not because it lacks power, but because marketing is not only algorithms, but also human meanings.
1. Strategic thinking and creative concept
AI can select headlines with the best conversion, but it will not come up with a cult campaign. Nike would not have become Nike if marketing was built only on data. The strongest brands grow on insights, on bold decisions, on what goes beyond numbers. AI will tell you which topics are trending, but it will not create a new trend.
2. Deep understanding of the audience
It analyzes clicks, views, purchases, but does not understand emotions. Good marketing is not just showing ads to the right person, but telling them what they want to hear in time. AI sees patterns, but does not feel the audience's pain. It does not understand why people choose Apple, although the characteristics of competitors may be better.
3. Branding and tone of voice
AI can generate a slogan, but it will not create a brand with character. Coca-Cola, Tesla, Airbnb - they were not built on algorithms, they were built on values. A person makes decisions not only with logic, but also with emotions. AI is not yet able to convey the unique personality of a brand, its voice, its depth.
4. Real insights and original ideas
AI processes existing data. It can generate thousands of texts, but it does not create anything fundamentally new. Marketing without fresh ideas is just a stream of content. Companies that build communications on unique meanings will always stand out.
5. Managing people and creating strong teams
Leadership cannot be automated. Teams are built on trust, on culture, on the ability to inspire. AI will not replace a leader who motivates people to do strong projects, take risks, try, make mistakes and find new paths.
Yes, AI is changing the market. It has already eliminated manual routine, reduced advertising costs, and made marketing more precise. But marketing is not just about numbers. AI will strengthen strong specialists, but will never replace those who create the future.
The Future of AI in Digital Marketing in 2025
Marketing will never be the same. AI has already rebuilt the industry, and this is just the beginning. If today algorithms help optimize advertising, write content and analyze the audience, then in a year or two, marketing will become almost completely automated.
What will change?
1. AI will manage marketing campaigns without human intervention
Today, advertising platforms like Google Ads and Meta already use AI to automatically manage bids, optimize budgets and test creatives. In 2025, marketers will no longer manually configure advertising. AI itself will test audiences, determine the most effective messages and redistribute budgets in real time.
2. Content generation will become instant and hyper-personalized
AI already writes articles, video scripts, makes designs, adapts advertising. In the coming years, fully autonomous content studios will appear, where AI will generate videos, audio, texts - and all this based on data about audience preferences. Companies will be able to create dozens of unique versions of the same content for different user segments.
3. SEO will change: AI will write texts not only for people, but also for algorithms
Search engines already use AI to rank content. In the future, SEO marketing will change completely because AI will start creating articles taking into account how Google algorithms evaluate them. This will make traditional optimization methods obsolete. Whoever adapts faster will stay on the first page.
4. Neural networks will predict trends before they become popular
Today, marketers analyze trends after the fact. In 2025, AI will predict which topics will take off, which products will go viral, which advertising strategies will bring the best results. Companies that use AI for predictive analysis will gain a competitive advantage.
5. Automation of the customer journey: from the first touch to the sale
Marketing will increasingly turn into a system where AI leads the client throughout the funnel. Artificial intelligence will determine when to send an email, when to show an ad, when to offer a personal discount. The entire customer journey will become predictable, and marketing will be more precise and manageable than ever before.
2025 will not just increase the influence of AI in digital marketing — it will finally change the rules of the game.
