There’s a sea change with the advancements in data and AI. As ad spending continues to be a prominent line item for marketers, AI is reshaping advertising, especially with its predictive capabilities.

The real flex? Being at the top of people’s minds when they think about your product category. If they remember you first, you’ve already won half the battle.
