The AI angle
AI generates marketing reports, identifies anomalies, and suggests optimizations. Non-technical marketers can query analytics with natural language. What remains: attribution modeling, experiment design, connecting marketing data to revenue, and communicating insights that change strategy.
What to do about it
• Move from report generation to strategic marketing analytics
• Master attribution modeling and incrementality testing
• Learn to connect marketing metrics to revenue outcomes
• Build expertise in experimentation and A/B testing programs
