From Hype to Reality: How to Successfully Implement ChatGPT in Your Marketing Campaign

Artificial intelligence has been a buzzword for several years now, and the hype around it only keeps growing stronger. The AI bot ChatGPT, which stands for “Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer”, has been getting a lot of attention lately for its outstanding ability to produce decent texts that, as drafts, help all the professionals who have to work with text.

This technology is a language model that can understand and generate human-like responses to text-based messages. It’s already being used in a variety of applications, from customer support chatbots to virtual assistants. Marketers are usually people who love to put their hands on the latest technology. So, naturally, ChatGPT is gradually finding its way in the marketing field.

Indeed, it can be very helpful when working on a marketing campaign. Let’s talk about how exactly ChatGPT can do so.

Brainstorming and Research

ChatGPT is no magic wand, but if you have a direction and can explain it to the bot in a prompt, it can generate some great ideas and bring you valuable information. Sometimes ChatGPT lies or spreads misinformation, so it still requires fact checking, but it helps a lot to overcome the terror of the blank page and provides unexpected starting points for your own thoughts.

However, as for the unexpected, to get some non-generic results, you need to ask the bot the same question a few times and give it various frames. For instance, you can ask ChatGPT to base the answer on scientific research and provide links to the papers that it uses. Also, ChatGPT is amazing at creating lists. So, you can ask it to generate various lists that can pull your thinking forward.

The advantage that ChatGPT possesses is its lack of limitations that we, humans, often impose on our imagination ourselves. That’s why the bot may be a good assistant for creating concepts for branded photoshoots and videos. You can even ask it to generate prompts for Midjourney to get references for the visual assets that you want for the campaign.

Writing Copy for Marketing Assets

When you know what you need, you can ask ChatGPT to generate a copy for, basically, anything. Include the necessary parameters into your prompt for the best outcome. For instance, you can identify that you need a text for an Instagram targeted ad appealing to the generation Z fashionistas. A prompt may include the description of the desired tone of voice as well.

It’s very likely that you’ll have to edit the copy, but it’s still going to be a faster and more productive workflow. Besides, you can ask ChatGPT to write any piece that it has written and get a few variations of one and the same text. Again, even slight changes of a prompt can bring you to beneficial discoveries.

In general, ChatGPT is an efficient tool for everything social media and is very decent with slogans and other short texts. Remember, the result depends on you as well. It seems that experimenting can be a good idea. For example, ask the bot to write a Twitter post in the style of some famous writer or poet.

Generating Drafts for Emails and Presentations

Exchanging emails and messages is an essential part of any marketing campaign. It’s an easier task when it’s done between colleagues whom you’ve known for ages. However, when it comes to reaching out to the people on the client’s side, high-profile influencers, journalists, and others whom we are meeting for the first time, it may be an anxious experience.

ChatGPT helps to overcome nervousness by providing drafts for emails and messages. Moreover, if you need to write a bunch of emails of the same contents, it will obligingly provide you with unique tailored copies for each recipient. For example, in the field of influencer marketing ChatGPT can personalise email pitches, if you need to approach a bunch of various influencers with the same campaign, based on information about each influencer.

Presentations are a crucial part of business communications in marketing too. In addition to generating text for a presentation, you can ask the bot to give ideas for illustrations for various slides. Basically, ChatGPT is a tool meant to speed up the compilation of mundane in favour of creative ones.

SEO Optimization

If content marketing is included into your campaign, make it more efficient by asking ChatGPT to help you with SEO optimization. The most basic thing it can do to address this task is to search available databases to find efficient key words.

In addition, you can ask the bot to figure out meta descriptions that also help to rank your content higher by search engine algorithms. Another task to delegate to ChatGPT here is to ask it to come up with ideas for links, because it also impacts search engine ranking.

All in all, ChatGPT is a powerful tool if we talk about speeding up the process of writing texts and broadening our creativity. It’s still hardly creative itself, since it gets its most interesting and unusual ideas only accidentally. But it has the ability to turn repetitive tasks into a more fun and easy process, thus letting us come up with stronger creative results.
