Machine Learning for Marketing & Advertising Strategy

Business Problem Solved

Marketers struggle to decide who to target, with what message, and on which channel, often relying on gut feeling and basic reports. Understanding and using machine learning lets them predict which customers will buy, churn, or respond to an offer, so they can allocate budget more efficiently and personalize campaigns at scale.

Differentiation Factor

Focus is on educating marketers to understand and strategically apply machine learning concepts (propensity scoring, look‑alike modeling, budget optimization) rather than selling a specific ad-tech product; the differentiation lies in upskilling marketing teams so they can better leverage existing ad and martech platforms that already embed ML.
