Technology breakthrough: practical AI and ad tech moves for marketers

A single breakthrough tech can change how you get customers overnight. Right now, that change looks a lot like large language models (think ChatGPT) and smarter ad placements inside games and apps. If you work in marketing, these tools are already useful — not just hype — but only when you use them with clear goals.

Start with one clear task. Don’t try to rebuild everything around AI. Pick one repeatable job — writing landing page headlines, drafting ad variations, or answering basic customer DMs — and use an AI to run it. Measure performance before and after. If conversion or response time improves, scale. If not, tweak prompts and audience settings.

How to use ChatGPT and similar tools right now

Use AI for fast, testable outputs: 5 headline ideas, 10 short captions, or three email subject lines. Keep human review in the loop. Example prompt: “Write 6 headlines for a SaaS free trial page aimed at small business owners, one sentence each, with a benefit and a curiosity hook.” That gives usable options without wasting your time. Another quick win: feed the AI top-performing social posts and ask for new versions that match the tone and length.

Automation is great for scaling conversations. Train simple reply templates for common questions (pricing, features, shipping). Let AI draft replies, then have a person approve or edit the first dozen. This speeds responses while keeping quality. For A/B testing, use AI to generate multiple versions and rotate them in small experiments.

Where in-game ads and ad tech fit into a modern plan

In-game ads reach engaged users where they spend real time. Don’t treat them like banner ads — integrate creative that fits the game world. Use short, contextual messages or branded objects that feel natural. Track real KPIs: time spent, CTR, and post-install behavior, not just impressions. Partner with platforms that provide viewability and engagement data so you can optimize creative and placements.

Combine these tools, but keep human judgment. Use AI to create ideas and speed execution. Use in-game and programmatic ads to reach niche audiences. Then measure real outcomes: sign-ups, purchases, lifetime value. If a technology move doesn’t move those numbers, tweak it or drop it.

Want specific how-tos? Start by testing one ChatGPT prompt for social captions this week and run a small ad with a game-friendly creative next month. Track cost per conversion and engagement metrics. Small, focused experiments give the clearest answer about whether a technology breakthrough is worth your time.
