How AI Created Reddit's Most Engaging Ad Ever
Description:
What happens when you combine a chatbot with a digital advertisement? We were curious ourselves, so we tried it – and the result was the most engaging Reddit ad of all time, with over 43,000 comments in the span of a few days. Why, and how did this experiment achieve the success it did? Could it be that automated conversation is the future of marketing? How much new value can brands tap into, if they can hold a consumer’s attention for minutes at a time, just by carrying out a good old-fashioned conversation? In this discussion, hear how a brand strategist, a creative, and a conversational technologist view the importance of community building, direct engagement, and the role of AI in scaling branded conversation for the masses.
