With the increasing digital possibilities, artificial intelligence is also becoming more and more important for marketing. If you make use of certain technologies, personalised advertising, product suggestions and suitable purchase incentives become possible. This works through automated persona recognition. 

A persona includes various characteristics such as age and gender of a person, which the artificial intelligence can recognise via camera. The artificial intelligence has previously learned these on the basis of images and data until it can guarantee correct recognition in over 95% of cases. 

Artificial intelligence in marketing

The collection of characteristics of the target group in the pre-campaign phase is a common practice in order to find out who can best be addressed as well as how to reach them. Artificial intelligence shows the campaign or certain products exclusively to the right target group. This reduces wastage and makes the campaign more budget-efficient and increases sales, as the reach is increased in exactly the right environment.
