AI exposure
moderate
58/100
As a marketer, you already work closely with AI tools that generate copy, images and ad variations, and a fair share of your production work will be automated over the coming years. At the same time, strategy, brand judgement and the ability to read a market are much harder to replace. Your role will change more than it disappears, but you need to shift your focus from production to direction and judgement.
Screen / desk work
Marketing is largely screen work with text, images, ad platforms and analytics tools. Precisely because the work already happens digitally, generative AI can reach straight into your daily tasks. What does not get automated are the meetings, the judgement calls and the relationships around the screen work.
