Decent read but a bit too shallow/overview-ish to really be useful. Works as an introduction to “AI” (aka applied machine learning) and how it can be used in marketing. Expect to know a bit more about what’s out there but not how to use to actually use it.

"Marketing Artificial Intelligence: AI, Marketing, and the Future of Business" by Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput is a groundbreaking exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the marketing landscape. In this comprehensive guide, the authors offer insights into the transformative power of AI, showcasing real-world examples and practical strategies for leveraging AI to enhance marketing efforts.
The book begins by highlighting the rapid evolution of marketing in the era of AI. With the emergence of new technologies and the increasing emphasis on data-driven decision-making, marketers are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. AI, in particular, is reshaping the way marketers engage with audiences, offering new tools and techniques for understanding consumer behavior and optimizing marketing strategies.
Despite the immense potential of AI in marketing, the authors acknowledge that there is a readiness gap among marketers. Many professionals feel overwhelmed by the complexity of AI and lack the necessary skills and knowledge to fully harness its capabilities. To address this gap, the book provides practical guidance and resources for marketers looking to embrace AI and stay ahead of the curve.
At the heart of the book is the idea of making marketing smarter through AI. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and deep learning techniques, marketers can gain deep insights into consumer behavior and preferences. This shift towards data-driven marketing not only improves efficiency but also enables marketers to deliver more personalized and engaging experiences to their target audience.
The authors also explore the real-world application of AI in marketing, highlighting success stories and best practices from leading organizations. One such example is the case of Naomi Simson, who used AI to revolutionize her company’s advertising efforts. By harnessing the power of AI-driven advertising campaigns, Simson was able to optimize ad spend and discover new customer segments, demonstrating the transformative potential of AI in marketing.
Another compelling example comes from BuzzFeed, a digital media giant known for its viral content. The authors illustrate how BuzzFeed leveraged AI to predict and optimize content virality, leading to increased engagement and revenue. This case study underscores the importance of integrating AI into content marketing strategies and embracing an AI-first mindset for success in the digital age.
Overall, "Marketing Artificial Intelligence" offers a comprehensive roadmap for marketers looking to navigate the AI revolution. From understanding the basics of AI to implementing advanced AI-driven marketing strategies, the book provides actionable insights and practical advice for driving business growth in an increasingly AI-driven world. By embracing AI, marketers can unlock new levels of creativity, efficiency, and effectiveness, paving the way for innovative marketing strategies that resonate with today’s consumers.

Outdated and not instructional
Firstly, this book talks a lot, but doesn’t provide much in the way of substantial insight. It tells you what you need to do—like “learn how to analyze data”—but provides nothing beyond this general statement. No further learnings on data analysis, no other resources for learning more about data analysis, not even more information on what “data” it’s referring to.
Secondly, this book is outdated and contains no information about using newer AI content tools such as ChatGPT (i.e. the reason most of us are probably here in the first place).
Unfortunately, this seems to be nothing more than a long-winded promotion for his course, and another revenue stream for his business.

I got this book for free from attending a Greater Cleveland Partnership event where Paul spoke and "tossed it in the pile' of books I have queued up. I saw Paul again at the OhioX AI Forum in Cleveland and decided to move it to the top of the pile. I am glad I did. The book discusses how long we have been using AI and delves into many tools on the marketing side. I have several pages marked for reference. This book is awesome, I could not put it down and wish I had this knowledge and access to tools years ago. Check it out.

In "Marketing Artificial Intelligence," authors Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput seek to demystify the world of AI in marketing, presenting a compelling case for its transformative potential on business. Drawing from extensive research and interviews with experts across the AI field, the book is framed as an indispensable guide for marketers poised to harness AI’s power to enhance productivity, efficiency, and performance.
The book's initial chapters shine, providing insightful points on how AI can become a marketer’s ace in the hole. Roetzer and Kaput skillfully explain complex concepts, making AI’s intricate world accessible to those new to the subject. They convincingly argue that even a tiny infusion of AI can result in significant gains for marketing professionals.
However, as the book progresses, it shifts from a focused discussion on AI's strategic implementation to an overwhelming catalogue of potential software tools. This extensive list, while comprehensive, may daunt readers seeking to deepen their understanding of AI’s application rather than simply shopping for tools. This section feels more like a directory than a narrative, potentially sidelining the reader's quest for actionable insights into how these technologies can be woven effectively into their marketing strategies.
Despite this, "Marketing Artificial Intelligence" is an earnest attempt to equip marketers with the knowledge needed to navigate the industry's AI-enhanced future. It serves as a solid introduction, though the book's utility as a hands-on guide may be lost in its extensive listings.
This book provides a robust starting point for those looking for a primer on the possibilities of AI in marketing. Yet, for marketers eager to dive deeper into strategic applications, the journey might require looking beyond this text to avoid getting mired in the minutiae of software options.

There is no better time to start understanding the impact of AI on marketing than … yesterday. Written in an educational tone and structured in chapters that outline major marketing focuses, this book is a must-read for all those who are looking for information and inspiration into AI know-how, use cases and vendors in marketing.

EXCELLENT!!
Very practical - I listened to the audio version, which I really enjoyed and learned from. However, this is definitely one of those books where I need to buy the physical copy. Lots of resources to look back on.

Good information, I enjoyed the first half, but it could have been condensed. Applicable for a age demographic a little older than myself but there’s still great information to be extracted for my age

A good overview of use cases and what marketers should look out for to leverage AI in their work.
With the new technologies rolling out every day in 2025, there are parts of the book that seem outdated and need an update.

More like marketing material to sell author’ company services. Very high level overview of AI history, list of potential use cases and some discussion on vendors.

Before reading Paul and Mike's book, I still thought of artificial intelligence as hype and primarily the stuff of academic pursuits, marketing boasts, or sci-fi trope. "Marketing Artificial Intelligence" has given me a context for how AI is a part of our lives today -- what's real and what's hype. At the heart of the book is a call to become a next-gen marketer, "to be a pioneer in one of the most profound technological shifts in human history."
The book opens by briefly recounting the current AI landscape, describing a means to measure the impact of AI in marketing (the marketer to machine scale), suggestions for vetting AI vendors, and recommendations for getting started with AI. Chapters 5-14 provide success stories, use cases, and sample tools based on a specific marketing activity (e.g., email, content, PR, sales, SEO, analytics, etc). The final chapters lay out steps to implement an AI program within your company and a call to avoid bias and the dark side of AI.
Whether AI will truly live up to the latest promises of technologists is to be determined. It is a fast-moving field with much of the work happening below the surface of our daily newsfeeds. Having lived through the explosion of the Internet in the 1990's, it feels like we're at a similar precipice. For me, it has created a sense of urgency as well as provided the inspiration to get started on the path of implementing AI into my agency.
