How to create the best social media marketing campaigns by becoming an AI-operating baddie
It’s the topic flooding all of our LinkedIn feeds: AI. It’s time to face it… the days when artificial intelligence only belonged in movies are long gone. Now, being able to utilise AI tools to create campaigns that POP is crucial as a social media marketer looking to keep up with trends, manage multiple tasks (and accounts), and smash those KPI targets. According to Econsultancy’s Future of Marketing, AI Skills are considered to be one of the two top skill areas needed for marketers over the next two years.
You might be thinking, “I’m already a top-notch SMM, so why do I need to learn how to use AI?” Well, you don’t have to, but just like when a new social media platform launches - ignoring new developments for too long can leave you trailing behind. AI isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so getting to grips with key tools and methods will help you to stay ahead, saving you precious time and effort. Some of the biggest brands are now making the most of AI, like H&M who are even going so far as to create AI clones of their models to feature in campaigns. So, without further ado, let’s jump to the first step in your AI journey.
First things first: Basic Terms
First off, let’s break down some terms. The first one is Generative AI. This type of AI can generate new content, like text, images, and even videos. It can be thought of as your personal content creator.
Next, we have Large Language Models (LLMs). These AI models are trained on vast quantities of text, meaning they can write human-sounding text and carry on conversations.
Tools like ChatGPT are based on LLMs, and ideal for creating written posts and copy. It’s important to note that there are many, many different kinds of AI, but these are two of the most common and most useful kinds that marketers are currently finding value in.
