As marketing budgets rise slightly in 2024 amid economic challenges, brands are leveraging AI to enhance strategies and engagement. The regulatory landscape is shifting rapidly, particularly in the US and UK, where differing approaches to AI transparency and accountability are evolving. This complexity complicates the balance between innovation and compliance, and marketers must navigate these nuances to achieve growth while adhering to regulations. The call for responsible innovation is imperative as brands adapt to changing market conditions and consumer expectations.
In 2024, marketing budgets inched upward by just 1.9%, reflecting the continued enormous expectations placed on marketing teams to deliver growth despite economic uncertainties.
AI offers the promise of sharper strategies, higher return on ad spend (ROAS), and deeper audience engagement, even under strict data privacy and regulatory constraints.
