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."
