AI Impact on this job
You hold a role with low exposure to automation: AI mainly handles routine and standardized operations. You retain strategic oversight, creativity and partner relationships. The tool mainly helps you gain efficiency on repetitive tasks.

- Monitoring and analyzing the results of promotional activities: AI can aggregate campaign data, perform performance analyses and produce standardized reports to assess profitability, doing the work of collecting and processing data.
What AI will improve
- Coordination with media: AI provides optimized calendars, reminders and tracking dashboards to facilitate your interactions and allow you to devote your time to negotiations and key relationships.
- Monitoring budgets and expenses: AI feeds dynamic dashboards and simulates cost scenarios to speed up your decision-making, while leaving final approval and strategic choices to you.
- Monitoring and analysis of campaigns: AI synthesizes trends, highlights performance levers and generates operational recommendations, enabling you to adjust actions and make informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, this profession won’t disappear, but its scope is evolving under the influence of AI and automation. You’ll primarily see a reallocation of tasks: AI can process data and optimize campaigns, but strategy, leadership, and team support remain essential human activities. You’ll gain efficiency by specializing in performance analysis and personalizing customer experiences.
The number of people required depends on the company’s size and the complexity of its portfolio. In practice, AI can automate repetitive tasks, but you’ll still need a team to manage campaigns, coordinate channels, and maintain relationships with partners and clients. Prepare to collaborate with data and digital marketing specialists who will complement your leadership.
To adapt, focus on continuous learning and experimentation. Strengthen your data, automation tools, and CRM skills, and develop your leadership and ability to interpret key metrics.
