What This Means for Marketing Teams
The numbers show that AI isn’t a side tool – it’s becoming central to marketing. Teams are using it to create content faster, target smarter, and track performance more clearly. But the gap in training means many marketers aren’t yet using AI to its full potential.
One figure stands out: marketers save 10 hours a week with AI. That’s an extra day every week – time that can be put into strategy, brand building, or testing new ideas. For marketers, it’s a clear sign to build AI skills into their career plans. For leaders managing teams, it’s proof that investing in AI training can pay off in both productivity and campaign results.
The Workplace AI Institute offers over 25 self-paced courses for non-technical professionals, including marketers. Each course provides instant access, practical exercises, and certification after a short exam. For marketing teams, upskilling in AI isn’t just about keeping up – it’s about staying competitive.
