Marketing AI use case survey
Hey marketers, I need your help... Over summer, I'm gearing up for my next themed podcast mini-series looking at marketers and AI and I need your help to fill in a quick survey about how you're using AI in your day-to-day work. I'm interested in hearing how AI is or isn't transforming your marketing work? What tools you're using? What's working and what's not? I've created a 2-3 minute survey to understand how marketers are really using AI, and I'd love your input. The findings will be shared in upcoming podcast episodes, and I'll share a summary report with all participants – so do leave your email at the end if you want a copy. 👉 Take the survey: https://form.jotform.com/251134293448053
