In addition to aggregate benchmarks, the study also highlights real examples of revenue gains achieved by AI Marketers.

In a recent study that identifies Blueshift as a Cool Vendor in AI for Marketing, the leading analyst firm Gartner stated that “AI’s capacity to transform marketing is obscured by a fog of hype, but the breakthroughs are real.” Blueshift’s report lifts the fog and illustrates the real breakthroughs being achieved by a host of AI-Marketers.

“Marketers are increasingly finding that the road from customer data to ROI goes through AI,” said Vijay Chittoor, co-founder and CEO of Blueshift. “Yet marketers have experienced, all too often, emerging technologies promoting empty claims that never materialize, leaving some skeptical of AI. That’s why we’re excited to show marketers how their peers are realizing tangible, measurable gains from AI today.”
