Turning AI into a driver of marketing efficiency

AI hype or real progress? In our latest guide, Ray Sono experts share how AI projects in marketing drive real impact – and how to start from where you are today.

Content creation has never been easier. But it’s also never been easier to get lost in the noise.

New tools. New features. New promises – from Agentic AI to prompt automation. Many teams respond with actionism. And lose the one thing that matters now: focus.

What’s missing isn’t technology. It’s structure:

  • Clear goals

  • Clean data

  • Processes that enable AI in the first place

Insights from real AI projects – not hype or buzzwords

Our experts Antonia, Stefanie and Johann work closely with teams aiming for real progress through AI – not just experiments. 

In the practice guide, they share what works in real world projects. And what doesn’t.

  • What you can learn from real and successful projects with HARTMANN and Austrian Airlines.

  • How to identify the use cases that deliver real ROI.

  • What your team needs to work productively with AI.

Implementing AI is 10 percent technology and 90 percent sensible, empathetic leadership.

What matters now

AI is changing marketing. But not just like that.

The companies seeing results today made a decision: 

Not for a tool – but for structure and use cases with short- and long-term value. For data that provides a solid foundation for real AI applications. For teams who know how to make AI work in real life – productively, measurably, and with real value.

Impact happens when you have clear goals. Proven processes and a collaboration between people and technology that works – technically, operationally, and culturally.

That’s where we come in.
