When asked how AI can be effectively used in marketing, Joseph shares:
"We use generative AI here in the office as the starting point for ideas. It won’t do the work for us, but it certainly helps supplement what we do."
He also shares how to ensure brand consistency across multiple touchpoints:
"We use a company called SoCi to manage all our social media. We also use another company, LineUps, along with a product called Design Assistant."
