About her thoughts for the industry
It is imperative for marketers to stay agile and adaptable to changing trends and consumer behaviours. Here are my thoughts for 2023:
Working with NVIDIA, a world leader in Artificial Intelligence Computing, I learned that technology is an essential tool for innovation and success. Marketers should utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to their advantage, and in 2023 it is expected to become even more accessible. We need to adapt to using new technologies such as AI-powered chatbots, personalized product recommendations, and automated content creation to stay relevant, create personalized marketing campaigns to increase sales, and build long-term relationships with customers.
The startup landscape is constantly evolving. Startups are the future, and the key to their success is to stay ahead of the curve and identify opportunities that align with market needs and trends. I see a high demand for startups focusing on: healthtech, creating sustainable products (reducing waste and promoting eco-friendliness), offering innovative solutions for online learning, personalized education, skills training, and fintech.
Finally, it’s no secret that influencer marketing has been a popular trend for several years now, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. As a result, we should expect more innovative and interactive approaches from influencers to promote products and services in 2023. The key is to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies and experiment with various approaches to find what works best for your brand and target audience.
