Transforming martech marketing through Artificial Intelligence and social commerce.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence as a strategic core.

Over the past four days, the market has intensely discussed the transition of Artificial Intelligence from a one-off tool to the central core of martech strategies. Solutions that go beyond automation, such as ad targeting, real-time message personalization, and conversational chatbots, are being applied to maximize ROI and engagement in Black Friday campaigns and sales festivals, already anticipating November as a key month for digital acquisitions. Brands are advancing in the collection and predictive analysis of data, dynamically adapting content and offers according to consumer behavior[2][3][1].

Social commerce integrates shopping journeys on platforms.

Another major structural shift is the consolidation of social commerce : TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook are accelerating innovations in integrated shopping, making it increasingly natural to buy without leaving the apps. This shift not only reduces friction but redefines the conversion journey, now marked by vertical videos, live commerce, and instant experiences. The short and authentic content format makes campaigns go viral, while brands adapt narratives to multiple platforms, requiring a multi-platform strategy and more sophisticated branding to maintain relevance and performance.[2][4]

Omnichannel automation and the shift in value attribution.

The growth of automation across multiple channels and the integration of email, social media, bots, and push notifications creates new demands for consistency, identification of micro-moments, and recovery of incomplete journeys in the funnel. This shift requires brands to stop treating discounts as their main differentiator and start investing in purpose, experience, and positioning to win over and retain more demanding audiences who are aware of the impact of their purchases. Branding takes center stage, and with it, the need to deliver connected and valuable experiences at all touchpoints[1][3].
