Hey there, it's Anna, the founder of Beno. I recently read an interesting article by a16z titled “AI Marketer: How Gen AI-Based Software Is Advancing Marketing and Sales”. It talks about how generative AI is changing marketing and sales, making strategies more personalized, efficient, and scalable.
The article made me think about how we use AI at Beno to help businesses engage with their audience in a more organic way. Here’s what I found particularly interesting and where I think we add something unique.
What caught my eye
The a16z article shows the great potential of AI to automate and personalize marketing efforts. It's amazing how AI can create more engaging and targeted content, helping to improve customer experiences and outcomes. This is a big change for marketing and sales teams everywhere.
What really stood out to me was the focus on scalability. AI can handle large amounts of data and give insights in real-time, which means businesses can scale their marketing efforts like never before. Whether it's a small startup or a large company, this level of efficiency and scalability is very helpful.
Another point that caught my attention was AI's ability to predict customer behavior. By analyzing past interactions and current trends, AI can help marketers know what their customers need and want, sometimes even before the customers know it themselves. This proactive approach to marketing not only makes customers happier but also increases conversion rates.
The article also talked about AI’s role in boosting creativity. AI tools can help generate content ideas, write copy, and even design visuals, allowing creative teams to focus on more strategic and high-level tasks. This mix of creativity and technology is something we’re really excited about at Beno, and it’s inspiring to see how other companies use it.
What’s missing
While the article does a good job of covering the broad uses of AI in marketing, it doesn’t talk about specific approaches to finding and engaging in relevant discussions. That’s where Beno comes in. We’ve created a tool that’s specifically designed to help businesses find relevant discussions and mention their services organically, helping them to gain more clients.
Finding relevant discussions
Beno uses advanced AI to track and analyze keyword mentions across various platforms. This real-time monitoring helps businesses understand what people are talking about and join relevant conversations. By engaging in discussions that matter to their audience, businesses can build stronger connections and present themselves as thought leaders.
Managing accounts and posting
One of the best features of Beno is that we manage our own accounts and make posts, so our users don't have to.
As one of our clients said, "The social commenting and that you guys have the accounts already, that's huge. I would not want to make or manage new accounts on other platforms." This means businesses can benefit from organic engagement without the hassle of creating and managing new accounts.
Born from our own experience
We started as a small company with no marketing budget, so we did everything on our own. We noticed a lot of discussions on Reddit where our product at that time could help. We started participating manually in these discussions, but it took a lot of time. This experience led us to develop Beno, to automate the process and make it more efficient. By using Beno, we were able to engage in more discussions, increase our visibility, and ultimately gain more clients.
Wrapping Up
Reading the a16z article was a great reminder of the power of AI in transforming marketing and sales. At Beno, we’re using these principles to help businesses engage more effectively across various platforms, providing a unique tool to improve their organic engagement and gain more clients.
