Module 2: The First AI Pilot
Picking the Right Use Cases
The high-impact / low-effort quadrant and proven AI use cases for marketing teams.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The best AI pilots sit in the high-impact / low-effort quadrant: they save time or drive revenue without heavy integration or steep learning curves.
Strong pilots are focused, not all-encompassing — they show what's possible without trying to fix everything at once.
Proven use cases include content production (copy, ads, captions, social) for scale and variety; campaign ops and knowledge management (meeting records, Slack/Teams searchability, competitor monitoring, user sentiment tracking); experimentation with ad copy and A/B testing at scale, where quantity creates quality; and admin integrations across tools to remove friction.
Success depends on the team's attitude: champions, curious adopters, passives, and skeptics respond differently.
Pilots must be visible and celebrated — clear wins change the conversation from "AI hype" to "better work, better results."
