If we are to truly become legendary marketing strategists in 2023, we must look beyond the conventional, embracing innovative technologies, cutting-edge insights, and a deep understanding of societal changes. Here’s what ChatGPT wanted me to do.

About 6 months ago, I wrote an article about being legendary. Which was basically just a list of KPI’s you need to understand to get the insights needed to be great at anything related to sales, marketing and customer success.

Now I wanted to elevate this, and asked my ChatGPT this:

I want you to be legendary.
Start with a blank sheet.
Ask yourself, If we were legendary marketing strategists, what would we do in 2023?

The first answer was quite natural – Master AI and Machine Learning. Yes. Yes, absolutely.
That is what everybody needs to do.

But you need to combine it with strategy, creativity and ability to execute! But lets not dwell too much on this.

Let us look at the 8 responses it gave:

1. Master AI and Machine Learning: As marketers, we must harness the power of AI and machine learning to understand and predict consumer behavior better. We should leverage AI to create personalized marketing experiences, deliver tailored content, and predict future trends. These technologies can help automate repetitive tasks, allowing us to focus on strategic thinking and creativity.
2. Embrace the Metaverse: With virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) becoming more mainstream, the metaverse is the next frontier. It offers new ways for brands to interact with their customers, creating immersive experiences that can build deeper connections.
3. Prioritize Sustainability and Social Responsibility: In an era where customers are becoming more conscious of the brands they support, we must ensure our marketing strategies align with social and environmental causes. Our campaigns should highlight the company’s commitment to sustainability, and our messaging should resonate with the ethical values of our audience.
4. Optimize for Voice Search: With the rise of smart speakers and voice-activated devices, optimizing our content for voice search is a must. This will involve thinking about how our audience speaks about our product or service and incorporating conversational keywords into our SEO strategy.
5. Nurture a Community: Instead of just targeting consumers, we should focus on building and nurturing a community. This can include hosting virtual events, engaging with followers on social media, and creating spaces for your customers to interact with one another.
6. Invest in Data Privacy: Trust is vital in digital marketing, and with increasing scrutiny around data privacy, it’s essential to reassure customers that their information is safe. Investing in robust security measures and being transparent about data usage can help build this trust.
7. Deliver Omnichannel Experiences: Consumers are interacting with brands across multiple touchpoints – online, on mobile, in physical stores, on social media. Our marketing strategies should deliver a seamless, consistent experience across all these channels.
8. Focus on Emotional Intelligence: Even as we leverage AI and data, we must not forget the human element. Understanding and connecting with customers on an emotional level can create lasting relationships and brand loyalty.

By incorporating these elements into our 2023 marketing strategy, we have the potential to not just be successful, but truly legendary. Let’s look forward to a year of breakthroughs and game-changing innovations.
