AI has completely changed how businesses and individuals do their marketing. Whether it’s ads, product explainers, or memes, you almost encounter at least one of them when you are scrolling through your feed. This is just one example proving how users see content has changed completely. Whether the use of AI is beneficial for marketing or not completely depends on how a business uses this technology, which tells us that AI in itself is neither good nor bad.
This is why we will look at how modern content marketing is changing and how businesses can use this to their own
Generating Content Ideas
Old content creators know that creating content ideas wasn’t always this easy. Before, with AI, it was actually quite hard to bring your ideas to paper. Just because you have an idea didn’t mean you should start creating, as what you had in mind may not necessarily reflect in the final product. This is where AI has changed the game and has saved a lot of time for marketers.
Today, all you have to do is get a decent AI tool and just describe what you want. Let’s say you want to generate a piece of sample artwork. Now, open the tool you paid for and enter a long text prompt describing the entire artwork, and then click “generate”.
Key Highlights:
- You can find content ideas and can even start prototyping without wasting much time.
- You can expect varied results for different prompts(I’d recommend writing a detailed prompt for high-quality results).
- Go for well-known AI tools that offer promo codes for affordable pricing.
Pushing Creative Limits
This generative AI technology has given us tools to generate anything that is on our mind. I mean…think about it, you wouldn’t stand a chance if you wanted to create a fictional character without any technical skills.
Today you could do the same thing in minutes WITHOUT any technical skills. The only limitation of this is that people can clearly spot it as AI (no matter how good it looks). This is where human creativity plays a huge role.
Key Highlights:
- Today, marketers have a great opportunity to bring their ideas to life.
- You don’t require any technical skills to push your creative limits.
- Make sure you choose the right AI tool for your needs. Some are great at generating creative content while others excel at corporate content.
More Output in Less Time
The traditional production timelines of creative agencies are generally SO LONG, especially if they are making short films or any long-form content. This is where generative AI tools can be of great help. For someone who doesn’t know, getting approval to create any content in itself is a big task.
All the problems that the team faces during content creation are a whole other issue. Using AI video generation tools can help people create content quickly, so that they can spend more time finding new marketing ideas.
Key Highlights:
- AI tools can help you scale content creation.
- Spend less time discussing and spend more time experimenting with different content ideas.
- These tools help you enhance your overall productivity.
- Training AI models using prompts is a great way to achieve quality results.
Rise of AI in Short-Form Content
As discussed earlier, AI video content in YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels has become way more common. Whether it’s low-effort or quality content is a question for another day. Marketers have to accept that AI video content is here and it’s here to stay.
Short-form content has the potential to reach more viewers than long-form content. Also, creating short videos takes less time than long ones, especially when you’re using AI video tools.
Key Highlights:
- You don’t need a lot of subscribers to go viral on YouTube Shorts. A big reason for this is due to the easy discoverability of short-form content.
- As a solo creator, there is no need to have a creative team if you use an AI video generation tool.
- Some of the most popular tools are Pictory, OpenArt, and Kling.
Too Much Generic Content
All marketers know that more views is not a metric for a successful marketing campaign. One needs to monitor engagement metrics such as likes, comments, and shares to measure the true impact.
The easy access to AI tools has resulted in generic AI video content online, which in turn has painted a negative image of AI use. Therefore, you must ensure that the marketing content is unique, adds value, and has a human touch.
Key Highlights:
- Avoid publishing AI-generated videos without adding your own touch.
- Treat AI tools as an assistant and not a replacement for hard work.
Copyright Infringement
Image-to-Video is a popular feature for AI video generation. All you need is a sample image to make a video out of it. Marketers need to be careful that they use their own or copyright-free content to make AI videos. People who create animated videos need to check if the characters resemble any known characters from mainstream movies.
Key Highlights:
- Make sure you use copyright-free images to generate AI video content.
- Treat this as a serious issue, especially if you’re using AI video content for commercial purposes.
Final Thoughts
Popular AI models such as Kling 3.0 have lowered budget costs for most marketing agencies. It has also reduced the dependency on content creators for finding new ideas. People today can generate countless drafts to check what works for their audience. Just remember that these tools are not a replacement for your hard work but just a tool to assist you.
