April 15, 2025, 11:10 pm
In the world of business, change is the only constant. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is the engine driving this change. It’s reshaping how brands connect with consumers. A recent report reveals that companies in North America and the UK are ramping up their AI investments. They are not just dipping their toes; they are diving in headfirst.
The study from Apply Digital surveyed 400 senior business leaders. It found that AI is becoming the backbone of real-time personalization. Imagine a tailor crafting a suit. That’s what brands are doing with AI. They are customizing experiences to fit individual customers.
Personalized email messaging is the most popular application. Sixty-one percent of brands are already using it. Another 22% plan to adopt it within a year. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a shift in how businesses communicate. Seasonal promotions are also gaining traction. Currently, 52% of brands use AI for this purpose, with 32% looking to join the ranks soon.
Location-based recommendations are another area of focus. Half of the surveyed brands have implemented AI to enhance their offerings. A further 33% are set to follow suit in the next year. This is not just about selling; it’s about creating relevant experiences.
The report highlights a clear divide between the US and UK. The US leads in current AI adoption. However, British businesses are eager to catch up. They are motivated by changing consumer expectations. Nearly 70% of consumers want personalized experiences. Among younger consumers, that number jumps to 80%.
But with personalization comes a demand for transparency. Almost 40% of consumers want more control over their data. They want to know how it’s collected and used. This is a double-edged sword for brands. They must balance personalization with privacy.
AI is a powerful tool, but it must be wielded wisely. Brands that personalize with empathy and trust will thrive. Those that don’t risk losing customer loyalty. The report indicates that over half of the leaders surveyed plan to invest more than $1 million in personalization in 2025. This isn’t just a budget line; it’s a strategic priority.
As AI tools like chatbots become more common, the customer experience will evolve. Thirty percent of brands plan to introduce AI-powered chatbots in the next year. This means customers will interact with intelligent systems, not just people.
In another corner of the business world, the banking sector is also undergoing a transformation. Personetics, a leader in Cognitive Banking, has appointed Puneet Malhotra as Chief Revenue Officer. His role is pivotal as banks navigate this new landscape.
Malhotra brings a wealth of experience. He has a track record of driving growth in the banking and fintech sectors. His expertise will help Personetics expand its global reach. The financial services industry is at a crossroads. Technology giants like Amazon and Apple are setting new standards. Banks must adapt or risk losing customers.
A recent survey revealed that 84% of consumers would consider switching banks for better services. This is a wake-up call for financial institutions. They need to integrate financial wellness with customer engagement.
Malhotra’s appointment comes at a crucial time. The market is shifting towards Cognitive Banking. This approach allows banks to respond dynamically to customer needs. It’s about providing relevant insights that empower consumers.
Personetics aims to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction. Their AI-powered platform is designed to boost digital adoption and sales conversions. They serve 150 million customers across 35 global markets. This is not just about technology; it’s about building relationships.
As the banking landscape evolves, so do consumer expectations. Customers want more than just transactions; they want meaningful interactions. Financial institutions must rise to the challenge. They need to create experiences that resonate with their customers.
In conclusion, the AI revolution is here. Brands across sectors are embracing it to personalize experiences. The banking industry is also adapting, with leaders like Personetics paving the way. As businesses invest in AI, they must remember the human element. Personalization should be about connection, not just data.
The future belongs to those who can blend technology with empathy. It’s a delicate dance, but those who master it will lead the way. The road ahead is filled with opportunities. Brands that prioritize personalization and transparency will thrive in this new era. The AI landscape is vast, and the journey has just begun.
