In the past three years, 94.1% of marketers started integrating AI in their processes, 60.4% just in the last 12 months. Roughly half of marketing leaders reported using AI for content personalization and content creation. In content creation, more than 50% used AI for blogs, website content, social media, and email content. Overall, marketers reported a positive impact of AI technologies on sales (+6.2%), customer satisfaction (+7%) and marketing overhead costs (-7.2%).
