one's gonna be trend or trash. Are AI generated email subject lines a trender trash?
Definitely a trend.
Why should marketers keep human oversight when using AI for subject lines?
I think using AI to help generate subject lines and I would say content more broadly within email is kind of a a necessary step in the process. I would say we're not like close, I don't think, to the point, although time is evolving quickly, to like having AI just automatically generate emails and email subject lines and they just get sent out. But having them help in that process, helping them help in understanding the segments and having them like help to develop some of that content, I think for sure that's an area that we are leaning into and expect to continue to lean into more heavily over time. So Trend.
It it really feels like just like the starting point of all this. And it's like maybe it's trash in the sense if it's like unchecked, unmanaged, like in the same way you don't wanna just you know, release a bunch of AI content agents unchecked on changing copy on a website.
What strategies are recommended for blending AI insights with brand voice guardrails?
Probably don't want to do it unchecked also and just kind of giving it free reins on subject lines.
A hundred percent. And I think also like, you know, you have to like always be staying true to who you are and the right answer from AI's perspective And you know, at this point may not always take that, you know, first person perspective from the brand's perspective, the way that you know you need to as kind of the kind of focus focusing from their perspective. So I think you definitely have to like not rely on it universally, but having it help inform is a hundred percent a part of what we're doing today.
Well, with that, that's gonna wrap up this episode of the Voice of Search podcasts. Thanks again to Patrick McKenna from DMI Partners for joining us.
