AI marketing tools are genuinely useful.
AI marketing tools are genuinely useful. I use them. Most good teams do.
But there's a lie spreading through the ecosystem right now, and it's worth calling out.
"AI replaces your entire marketing function."
It doesn't. And pretending it does is how brands end up with a lot of output and no results.
AI is great at execution. It's not great at strategy.
> It can write content. It can't decide what you stand for.
> It can optimise your ads. It can't tell you why people actually buy from you.
> It can generate creatives. It can't build taste.
> It can automate outreach. It can't build trust.
Use AI to move faster on the things you've already figured out.
Don't use it to avoid figuring them out.
