Artificial intelligence is reshaping how organizations understand customers, compete for attention, and make marketing decisions. Yet many leaders struggle to move beyond experimentation or vendor-driven solutions toward a clear, customer-focused strategy. AI-Driven Marketing and Customer Strategy equips leaders with the frameworks and judgment needed to decide where AI truly creates customer value — and where it can undermine trust, differentiation, and long-term performance.
The program shows how AI-driven insights translate directly into stronger business results. Participants learn how to use AI to identify high-value customers, improve targeting and conversion, increase customer lifetime value, and allocate marketing resources more effectively. By connecting AI-enabled decision-making to revenue growth, sales effectiveness, and long-term profitability, the program helps leaders move from AI activity to measurable commercial impact.
Who Should Attend?
AI-Driven Marketing and Customer Strategy is designed for leaders who are accountable for growth, customer value, and strategic decision-making — and who must now determine how AI should shape those outcomes.

-
Senior Marketing and Growth Leaders
CMOs, VPs of Marketing, Heads of Growth, and Brand Leaders responsible for driving revenue, improving conversion, and increasing customer lifetime value through smarter segmentation, targeting, and personalization. -
