The entire world has gone through rapid social change in 2020, leaving marketers relying on intuition to handle how to best engage an audience undergoing the immense changes of a pandemic, divisive election and social justice movements. But within this flux, minor changes to advertisements can make or break campaigns, which is why AI supplements the work of marketers and eliminates the need for A/B testing, improving results by 31% on average and eliminating wasted time and effort with underperforming assets.

“The industry’s best and brightest minds are still navigating our new environment for the first time ever; no amount of tenure can account for the changes we’ve all felt this year, which is why intuition can only take us so far, ” said R. J. Talyor, CEO and Founder of Pattern89. “There has never been a better time to tap artificial intelligence for a data-driven approach to handling engagement. Our Creative Forecast uses billions of data points, over 49 thousand image dimensions and over a decade of historic data to truly unearth what will resonate in 2021. AI understands this enormous wealth of data when humans can’t. And because of that ability, it will find the trends and outliers that will make your specific campaigns perform in the best possible way.”
