IF visitor downloads ebook,

THEN send three-part email campaign.

Except with AI the machine can create its own algorithms, determine new paths, and unlock unlimited potential.

What if there are 10,000 downloads, across five personas, originating from multiple channels (social, organic, paid, direct) that require personalized emails and website experiences based on user history?

@PaulRoetzer

ai is hiding in plain sight.

you use ai every day.

\

it determines what you find . . .

what you say . . .

what you watch . . .

what you read . . .

and what you buy.

Your life is already machine-assisted, and your marketing will be too.
