2024 State of AI in Marketing Survey Results Unveiled
Nearly 90% of marketers don’t know what AI is.
Okay, okay, that one’s fake. But there are a ton of real, fascinating stats we got from our 2024 State of AI in Marketing Survey. We asked hundreds of marketers for their opinions about the future—and present—of AI, and I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted what we got back.
For example, we asked them what they thought AI won’t be able to replace in the future. The answer to that question is where you should be putting your training and your human capital. Are you confident that you know what they said?
Well, you can be. Just take a look at the results yourself! We broke them all down in the Foundation Lab right here.
?? Introducing Foundation’s AI Marketing Console ??
AI is moving so fast that most people can’t keep up. They aren’t getting all the great features it has to offer because there’s so much there to learn about and practice.
We get it. We spend a lot of time trying to optimize our prompts to get the exact results we need so we can save time further down the road. But then we thought, “Hey, I bet other people could use these prompts too.”
So, we’re sharing them with you today.
That’s why we built the AI Marketing Console.
It’s a full toolbox with 130+ tried-and-true ChatGPT prompts to help you create everything from landing pages and email drip campaigns to reports and customer research.?
Plus, it also gives you exclusive access to the following:?

?? This Week’s Brain Food ??
We’re back at it!
So, we’re all excited about our new resolutions, and we’re in that honeymoon period where we all think, “Oh yeah, I’m definitely going to keep going to the gym at 6:30 AM every day.”
And maybe you are. If you are, that’s great! Skip to the X thread of the week; it’s pretty interesting.
But not all of us are going to follow our resolutions perfectly. So, this is the best time to make a plan for if you hit a hiccup. Don’t just react on the fly—think ahead and consider what you’ll do when things get a little tougher.?
It’s important to do this when you’ve got a clear head, and you can think about the future, not when you’re hitting snooze for the fourth time and wondering if you should just give up on the gym altogether.?
Now, make a realistic plan for what to do if you start to stray from your resolution. Who’s going to help keep you accountable? How are you going to make sure it doesn’t happen again? Can you predict times when it might happen?
You can’t always make a significant life change by just waking up and deciding to live differently. Put systems and plans in place so that you can face down the difficulties this year will throw at you and still come out on top.
