AI Marketing Strategy and Analytics focuses on planning, evaluating, and optimizing marketing initiatives using data and AI-supported insights. You’ll learn how to analyze buyer journeys, identify search-driven discovery moments, and align marketing objectives with measurable performance indicators. This course emphasizes practical strategy development. You’ll create structured marketing plans that integrate timelines, budgets, geographic targeting, and KPIs. You’ll also analyze competitive positioning using keyword and social listening data, evaluate campaign and advertising performance, and visualize marketing spend through integrated dashboards. What makes this course unique is its combination of strategy and execution. Rather than treating analytics as reporting alone, you’ll learn how to use data to guide planning decisions, prioritize initiatives, and justify resource allocation. This course builds on earlier SEO and AI-enabled content skills and prepares you for advanced campaign optimization, performance analysis, and decision-making in later courses.

You will explore how AI transforms customer discovery and decision-making across the buyer journey. Using guided worksheets, you’ll map key search-driven discovery moments and identify where AI influences awareness, consideration, and conversion.
