Marketing industry AI and consumer behavior trends

Overview

Marketing and advertising professionals are examining the integration of artificial intelligence and its impact on consumer behavior and brand strategy.

At the Let’s Marketing 2026 event, discussions centered on the tension between digital transformation and human connection. While some experts warned that excessive virtual connectivity might distance individuals from in-person experiences, others presented AI as a tool to expand human possibilities rather than a replacement for labor.

Subsequent discussions at the Maximidia 2026 event reinforced the growing importance of AI, with industry leaders suggesting it will become as ubiquitous as running water. This shift has led agencies to employ programmers and engineers to work alongside creative teams. Additionally, leaders emphasized the necessity of adapting brand management to changing consumer habits and strategic channel selection.
