I’m often asked whether we’re using ChatGPT in email marketing campaigns. (This question becomes more frequent as major ESPs rush to release their own version.) Despite genAI’s proliferation, I find the answer easy: we don’t use it for content, aside from maybe using it to generate ideas or as a rudimentary starting point. For final content generation, your team’s creative minds are far more refined and empathetic to the audience’s needs.
