How Brands Like Klarna And Mars Are Using AI in Marketing Operations

With the initial buzz around AI settling, marketing teams are now leveraging it in creative and efficient ways. We're witnessing some fascinating case studies as a result.

Leading Brands Embrace AI 🌟

Mailchimp, Klarna, JPMorgan Chase, and Mars are at the forefront, integrating AI throughout their marketing processes. From brainstorming and content creation to analytics and optimization, these brands are reaping significant benefits such as streamlined operations, cost savings, and enhanced creativity.

Mailchimp: Accelerating Creativity with AI 🤖

  • Results: Top 5% of Ipsos ads, with AI speeding up the creative process.

  • Global Personalization: AI-generated script variations, ensuring authentic localization.

  • AI Fluency: Continuous experimentation with AI tools empowers teams to uncover new use cases and harness AI’s potential as an “equalizer and accelerator.”

  • Quote: "We landed on this concept in the first of our meetings," said CMO Michelle Taite. "Usually, it takes about five meetings to get alignment on a creative concept. AI gave us the ability to 'show versus tell' when ideating the concept."

Klarna: AI-Driven Efficiencies and Savings 💡

  • Generative AI: Partnership with Persado for high-performing marketing copy.

  • Results: AI-generated ad copy delivers click-through rates up to 450% higher than human-written equivalents.

  • Expansion: Plans to extend AI to internal communications, customer service prompts, and beyond.

  • Quote: Kristin Lemkau, former CMO and now CEO of JPMorgan Chase Wealth Management, noted the surprising effectiveness of AI in generating creative copy that human marketers might not have imagined.

Mars: Predicting Ad Effectiveness with AI 🍫

  • Proprietary Tool: Agile Creative Expertise (ACE) predicts ad effectiveness with 85% accuracy.

  • Data Analysis: Uses AI to analyze eye tracking, facial expressions, and traditional metrics.

The Future of AI in Marketing 🌐

By strategically integrating AI across marketing workflows, these companies streamline operations, reduce costs, and unlock novel creative possibilities.

WTF is the Private Aggregation API in Google’s Privacy Sandbox?

Google’s Privacy Sandbox initiative is encountering challenges, particularly regarding its plans for third-party cookie deprecation and the feedback from regulatory authorities. Here's a structured breakdown of the situation:

Postponements and Regulatory Concerns

  • Third-Party Cookie Deprecation: Google has again postponed the timeline for phasing out third-party cookies.

  • Regulatory Scrutiny: The U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has raised numerous concerns about the Privacy Sandbox's proposals for a post-cookie world.

Notable Proposals within Privacy Sandbox

  1. Private Aggregation API

    1. Purpose: This API aims to provide marketers with aggregated reports on audience interactions with ads across various sites while protecting individual user data.

    2. Industry Feedback: According to Michael Bauer, VP and Group Director of Data & Analysis at Digitas North America, this API will be instrumental in addressing key marketing questions, particularly around ad reach and frequency.

  2. Shared Storage Proposal

    1. Complement to Private Aggregation API: When used in conjunction with the Private Aggregation API, it aims to further enhance the capabilities for privacy-preserving measurement and reporting for marketers.

Key Benefits Highlighted

  • Privacy Preservation: By withholding individual-level data and focusing on aggregated reporting, these proposals aim to strike a balance between privacy and the needs of marketers.

  • Enhanced Reporting Capabilities: Marketers can gain insights into ad performance across different sites without compromising user privacy.

Industry Perspective

  • Michael Bauer's Insights: Emphasizes the potential of the Private Aggregation API to help answer critical marketing questions, such as reach and frequency of ads, highlighting its importance for the future of digital advertising in a privacy-centric world.

While Google's Privacy Sandbox faces hurdles, the Private Aggregation API and Shared Storage proposal are promising components that have garnered positive attention and could play a crucial role in the evolving landscape of digital advertising.

5 Strategic Ways to Use Call to Action on Your Landing Page 🚀

Creating a standout landing page is an art, and the Call to Action (CTA) is your masterpiece’s focal point. A well-crafted CTA can skyrocket your conversions. Here are five strategic tips to make your CTAs irresistible.

  1. Keep it Clear and Compelling ✨ Clarity is paramount. Your CTA should leave no doubt about the action you want visitors to take. Replace the bland "Click Here" with something specific and engaging like "Get Your Free Ebook" or "Start Your Free Trial." Use compelling verbs that align with your offer to seamlessly guide your audience towards action.

  2. Create a Sense of Urgency ⏳ Urgency is a powerful motivator. Phrases like "Limited Time Offer," "Only a Few Spots Left," or "Act Now" can drive immediate action. While you don’t want to be overly pushy, a gentle nudge reminding your audience to act quickly can be very effective.

  3. Position for Maximum Impact 🎯 Placement matters. Ensure your CTA is above the fold (visible without scrolling), but don’t stop there. Repeat it strategically throughout your landing page—at the end of sections, after highlighting key benefits, and near testimonials. This keeps it within easy reach when your visitor is ready to act.

  4. Use Contrasting Colors 🎨 Make your CTA visually pop. Use a color that contrasts with the rest of your page design to draw immediate attention to your button. Think bright orange or red on a white or blue background. Just make sure the contrast complements your brand colors—stand out without clashing!

  5. Test, Analyze, and Optimize 📊 Continuously improve your CTAs. Run A/B tests to determine which text, placement, and colors convert the best. Use tools like Google Optimize or Optimizely to gather data on what works. Regularly analyze your results and tweak your CTAs to keep boosting your conversion rates.

By implementing these strategies, you’ll make your CTAs more effective, ultimately driving more conversions and achieving your business goals. 🚀
