Three things to watch for in freight marketing in 2023
In the podcast “Everything is Logistics”, the host talks about three important things to keep an eye on in freight marketing in 2023: AI tools, content remixing, and influencer marketing.
TAKEAWAYS:
- AI tools, such as ChatGPT, will significantly change the role of marketers and it is important to learn and use these tools in order to stay competitive.
- Content remixing involves creating shorter pieces of content from longer form content and sharing them on various social media channels to reach specific audiences.
- Influencer marketing involves partnering with influencers in order to reach and engage with a larger audience. It is important to carefully select influencers who align with your brand values and target audience.

- Implement paid advertising campaigns to reach new audiences and drive traffic to the website.
- Develop a referral program to encourage current customers to refer friends and colleagues.
- Month 4:
- Host a webinar or virtual event to educate potential customers about the compa
