Yael Eckstein, VP Marketing at StageOne Ventures
As someone with experience in marketing for many years in both startups and VC, I learned first-hand that efficiency and quality are unbelievably important. In an early-stage startup you are a one-man show working on all facets of the marketing process. This involves many different channels and tasks, consisting of branding content, design, digital, product marketing, leads, social and many more…
Over the last few years many tools have been created that are revolutionizing the way that marketers approach their work and the rate that they can complete it. Maybe today being a marketing persona is easier in a way, or maybe not…but the truth is, that since anything AI has now become part of our day-to-day Generative AI tools have come in very handy, and if you know how to best use them you can only benefit.
I was at a conference last week, and I had the honor of hearing Ady Mor-Biran who is the Director at the Microsoft Garage and also an expert in Generative AI for Innovation. She talked about the following:
She explained that Marketing has many stages and channels If we look at a simplified marketing value chain, we have 5 stages:
1. Market research
2. Development
3. Branding
4. Promotion
5. Sales & services
In my article below I want to discuss tools for 2 of these stages, Branding & Promotion, and share a few that I tested and recommend. These tools allow marketers to automate many marketing tasks, saving time and resources while also improving results. In my opinion these tools can instantly enhance your next website, demo, marketing material, deck, and more.
Ady also taught us that before you begin using any generative AI tools, you need to know a very basic rule called: prompts to results.
Whether you use ChatGPT3.5 or ChatGPT4 (which by the way has a lot of plugins for accuracy), it’s all about knowing how to write the prompt, because in order to get the best results, you need to know how to ask.
She goes on by saying: “Think of ChatGPT as your new teammate, someone who you can brainstorm ideas with back and forth. You need to set the context, define the task, ask questions, keep rephrasing and regenerating for maximum precision. Generative AI tools are helping marketers’ achieve endless possibilities, you just need to know how to best use them!”
Now that we’ve covered prompts, let’s explore some tools that I’ve researched and recommend for early-stage startups.
