AI in digital marketing.
This IAB Connect was about artificial intelligence in digital marketing.
The chair of IAB Türkiye opened, saying the Connect meetings exist to feed the industry what it needs to know about new fields.
Marketing uses it most.
He quoted McKinsey research that put marketing and sales first among the departments using AI, at 42%.
The speakers then took the transformation apart piece by piece.
