In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to maximise efficiency while optimising budgets. Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI), the technology revolutionising our world as we know it.
At Whistle, we are immersed in the world of AI, and yes, it can be overwhelming. There’s a plethora of AI tools out there to explore, with many giving actual value when used ethically.
In a recent “Monthly Trends Session”, an upskilling get-together we have as a company, we shared a selection of tools that can boost efficiency, creativity and optimising budgets for our clients.
Leveraging AI tools isn’t just about staying trendy; it’s a strategic move towards sustainable growth and gaining a competitive advantage. If you work in marketing or communications, here’s five reasons (and tools) why using AI can make you more efficient and creative…
#1
Streamlining the admin
Those repetitive tasks or time-consuming data entry jobs that derail your day, using AI tools can free up valuable time to focus on high-value activities. With a human still powering the AI, this can speed up operations with the same level of impact.

Better decision making
When working with brands that are built on data, like clients holding vast audience records or a product database, the use of AI can provide you with everything you need to not only be quicker at achieving your goal but also leave no stone unturned. With AI algorithms processing at scale, we as humans can make informed decisions backed up by insight to maximise opportunities for clients.

Increased creativity
One of the best uses of AI is certainly in the creative and design arena. Whether it be image/video-based sourcing, utilising copyright free audio or even generating pieces of content out of thin air – AI tools can support with adding the foundation for your human touch of personalisation. If your initial idea is difficult to get off the ground, perhaps AI can support the creation.

Enhancing marketing strategies
AI algorithms are a must for drafting a brand-new strategy. When it comes to insight and data, using AI tools can identify target audiences, refine messaging, or even look at paid media opportunities. In 2024 and the digital age, maximising return on investment is key, and artificial intelligence is highly effective to minimise wasted effort or spend.

Optimising budgets
Whilst this one is perhaps the least creative, it will keep clients and finance managers happy. AI tools offer unparalleled cost efficiency by providing actionable insights. Whether this is eliminating mundane tasks to save resources, or used to acquire data for stronger negotiation power; means achieving more for less.
