Once you have a clear understanding of your AI and marketing needs, you can begin to assess which AI tools will best suit your goals. But it all starts with a clear understanding of your goals and objectives.

Some of the most widely used AI marketing tools includes natural language processing software, chatbots, predictive analytics platforms, and image creation technologies. These tools empower marketers to automate tasks like content creation, process management, customer support, content personalization, data analysis, and social media management.

Let’s start by exploring the specific benefits of artificial intelligence and how it can elevate your business strategies.

What is AI used for in marketing?

AI Marketing Tools - 2025

In 2025, there’s no question that marketing is going to be all about combining creativity with data.

Artificial intelligence is arming some of the best creatives with the ability to use data in a way that leads to better outcomes, more efficiencies and strong communication.

Creativity has always been a pillar part of great communication and branding.

It always will be.

But…

Things are changing thanks to AI.

The ways a creative team can use AI to do more with less has never been more significant and powerful. Creative marketers can use AI to do things that at one point took weeks (sometimes months) to accomplish in the matter of hours.

Combine that with industry specific knowledge or data and the outcomes can be significant. Whether it’s data on your competitors, on market trends or data surrouinding what existing and future customers (and potential customers) want – there’s a lot of opportunity to use data to strike marketing gold.

Artificial intelligence and the various tools that marketers can leverage to do their job makes workflows more efficient than ever before.

From SEO to email marketing and CRO – the power of AI within our marketing toolkit is a shift that will forever impact the way we work. Today, it’s one of the hottest topics but I imagine in the year 2035, the idea of “AI powered” marketing will be as exciting as the idea of “spellcheck” in a word document. The technology will become second nature and a standard part of our tools.

In this comprehensive overview of top AI marketing tools and platforms, we will dive into the functionalities, advantages, and potential constraints of each. I’ve either spent time using these tools first hand or relied on my team to provide their perspective and take on how these tools supported them with their day-to-day marketing tasks.

Let’s get into it…

1. Jasper for writing & content creation

One of the first AI tools that made my jaw drop was Jasper. I immediately knew that Generative AI was going to change the way we do marketing the moment I used it and created an article in less than 20 minutes.

Jasper stands out for me and many as a revolutionary tool in the realm of writing and content creation, offering unparalleled efficiency and creativity. Designed to assist marketers, writers, and content creators of all kinds, Jasper leverages advanced AI technology to generate high-quality written material across a variety of formats. Whether you’re looking for engaging blog posts, compelling ad copy, or even intricate technical writing, Jasper can handle it with ease.

One of the industries favorite AI tools is Figma. What a lot of people don’t realize is that Figma powers their in-app background remover with Jasper’s API. The four most important factors of Jasper are what they call their co-pilot functionality:

Here’s what you’re met with when you log into Jasper AI:

You can use the “Create Bar” to give any task to Jasper.

Once you provide that direction, it will ask for a few more details like who you’re targeting and some other specific details. Once you fill out that information you’re met with a draft version of the article in seconds:

One of the most significant advantages of using Jasper is its ability to streamline the content creation process.

By providing prompts or specific instructions, users can quickly receive well-crafted content that aligns with their goals and tone of voice. This not only saves valuable time but also allows for scaling content production without compromising on quality.

Here’s my favorite feature:

The Jasper AI Chrome Extension.

It gives you Jasper no matter where you go on the internet.

Whether you’re in the backend of the CMS on WordPress or inside of a Google Doc or Gmail interface…

Jasper AI gives you the ability to smash that “arrow” and have it finish your sentences:

Jasper’s flexibility in language and style adaptation makes it an indispensable tool for global marketing strategies. It can produce content that resonates with different audiences, ensuring that your message is not only heard but also felt.

Despite its many benefits, it’s important for users to remember that Jasper is a tool meant to enhance human creativity, not replace it. Successful use of Jasper involves a collaborative effort where human oversight ensures that the final output aligns perfectly with brand values and objectives.

You can sign up for Jasper here.

2. Frase for on-site SEO and brief creation

Frase is changing how SEO pros and content creators handle on-site optimization and brief creation.

The process is streamlined, straight forward and efficient.

You can (1) create new content or (2) optimize existing content directly in Frase. For example, in the sample below I’m using Frase to create new content with a focus on the keyword “digital marketing”:

Frase then gives me a WYSIWYG editor where I can begin to create the content that will hopefully rank for “digital marketing”:

Frase then uses the SERP to help create content that is aligned with what exists today. It scrapes the SERP and identifies some of the top articles that are the highest ranking articles for the query.

I’m able to look at the titles that make up all of these various articles and select the headers that I want to carry over into my own brief.

Here’s how it looks in the Frase interface:

After going through the various headers, I can select the ones that I think would be relevant for my own outline and the app automatically creates them for me:

The Frase app then allows you to give instructions to your AI agent when crafting a brief for each header. Customizing these instructions results in higher-quality drafts because they help their AI understand exactly what you want each section to cover. If you’re not looking for perfection, you can ask AI to write the instructions on your behalf and see how it does.

Here’s a sample of the AI generated instructions that it created:

– Introduce the concept of digital marketing by explaining its definition as the creation and dissemination of content through various digital channels, including websites, social media, and email.

– Discuss its significance in today’s online shopping landscape, highlighting that 2.71 billion people are online shoppers in 2024, which emphasizes the need for businesses to establish a strong digital presence.

– Keywords to include: digital marketing, online marketing, content creation, digital channels, online shoppers.

Not bad eh? You can sign up here.

And then a few seconds later, Frase gives you the draft:

One of the standout features of Frase is its ability to generate detailed content briefs within minutes.

These briefs provide writers with a roadmap to creating content that is both SEO-friendly and engaging for readers. By offering insights into keyword usage, heading structure, and recommended reading length, Frase ensures that every piece of content has the potential to drive traffic and engage visitors.

3. ElevenLabs for audio AI & voice creation

ElevenLabs stands out as my favorite AI voice synthesis tool for a multitude of reasons.

I’ve used it on podcasts.

I’ve seen it used for audiobooks.

I’ve used it to create video content.

ElevenLabs is one of the best AI audio tools on the market. Here’s a few ElevenLabs alternatives.

At the forefront is its remarkably lifelike voice generation capability, which not only captures the nuances of human speech but also offers a wide range of emotions and accents. This versatility makes it an invaluable asset for creating engaging audio content for podcasts, audiobooks, or even voiceovers for video content.

It’s one of the first tools that I tried for audio AI. I currently use the Premium version and had them professionally recreate a synthetic version of my voice. I think it turned out quite well and used both Eleven Labs and the AI video tool HeyGen to create the video below:


What sets ElevenLabs apart further is its intuitive interface and user-friendly design, ensuring that even those new to voice synthesis can easily bring their projects to life. Additionally, its robust customization options allow creators to fine-tune voices to match specific characters or branding needs perfectly.

Its user-friendly interface, combined with powerful customization options, makes it accessible to both novices and professionals alike, ensuring that anyone can unlock the full potential of their creative visions.

5. Descript for AI assisted podcast editing

I’m a HUGE fan of Descript. It’s probably one of the best tools on the market for AI assisted podcast edits…

Here’s a video where I show how tools like Descript are giving podcasters and video creators super powers:

Descript stands out as an unparalleled AI tool for audio and podcast editing, offering a suite of features that simplify the editing process to a level never before imagined.

It’s ability to transcribe audio into text in real-time allows users to edit their podcasts or interviews by simply deleting or rearranging the text, which then reflects in the audio file—a game changer for content creators.

Additionally, Descript’s Overdub feature allows you to correct or modify spoken words without re-recording, using AI to seamlessly match the speaker’s voice tone and cadence. This tool not only streamlines the editing workflow but also empowers creators with limited technical skills to produce professional-quality audio content efficiently.

6. Unbounce for AI created landing pages & targeting

Unbounce empowers businesses to transform countless website visitors into valuable leads, sales, and signups. With a comprehensive suite of tools, templates, and resources, the platform equips you to craft highly effective campaigns and optimize them from all perspectives, infused with AI technology throughout.

One of my favorite AI tool integrated into Unbounce is their Smart Copy tool which revolutionizes how businesses approach creating custom landing pages. It gives you the ability to use the power of AI to generate engaging, professional copy swiftly right in the Unbounce app.

When you’re creating content with Unbounce, you can click “write more” and the AI tool will do that:

Unbounce has always been a leader for landing pages.

But now that it’s incorporated AI into the product – it’s become an AI tool that can become a secret weapon for marketing teams.

Utilizing Smart Copy, users can input fundamental details about their product or service and their target audience. Subsequently, the AI generates a range of top-notch content alternatives for selection.

This not only accelerates the development of landing pages but ensures that the copy is tailored to appeal directly to the intended demographic. Unbounce’s Smart Copy offers a flexible and efficient solution that empowers marketers and entrepreneurs alike to achieve professional-grade results.

7. Hubspot AI Writer for social media content & remixing

HubSpot’s free AI Writer is not as sophisticated as Jasper or Distribution.ai but it’s a game-changer for those seeking to elevate their social media presence swiftly and efficiently. If you already have a Hubspot account or need a lightweight (good price) solution for AI writing…

This tool is gold.

By simply answering a few prompts, users can harness the power of artificial intelligence to generate compelling posts that resonate with their audience.

This tool is particularly adept at remixing existing content, giving it a fresh twist that re-engages followers. Whether you’re looking to boost engagement, increase your reach, or simply save time on content creation, HubSpot’s AI Writer streamlines the process, making it easier than ever to maintain a dynamic and impactful social media strategy.

8. Distribution.AI for content distribution & repurposing

Content distribution is one of the most important part of the content marketing mix.

It’s underrated by many which is why I wrote Create Once, Distribute Forever.

I wanted this book to be the playbook for every and any creator looking to tell their story online and build a reputation for themselves. All that said, I recognized early in my career that distributing content wasn’t easy. It takes a lot of work.

Distribution.ai makes that a lot simpler.

How?

Blog posts can be turned into social posts.

Podcasts can be turned into newsletters.

Articles can be turned into emails.

This tool has revolutionized the way I think about distribution. You can literally tell it what you want to write about and it wlll help you develop a TON of different social posts around that concept:

I can upload a blog post (the RSS feed) or podcast and in the matter of minutes get repurposed content that can be used online to get the word out about the things that I’ve developed and ideas I want to share. Distribution.ai has a simply interface is easy to use and in my opinion should be a part of every marketers toolkit. It’s one of the most powerful AI tools today focused on content distribution and repurposing.

9. HypeFury for AI social media & content scheduling

Whether you’re sharing blog posts, podcast episodes, or simply engaging with your followers through thoughtfully crafted tweets, HypeFury amplifies your ability to connect with your audience effectively.

10. Canva for image creation & creative design

In 2024, Canva acquired Leonardo AI to further strengthen it’s position in the market as one ofthe most innovative AI solutions for marketers. Canva has forever changed the way that graphics are created and the acquisition of Leonardo supports their overall vision and mission towards empowering everyone to have the ability to create.

One of the best AI tools that Canva offers is their free online AI image generator which gives you the ability to create images in the matter of seconds on the back of their training set:

As an example, I asked Canva to create a photo of two people wearing green hats in Vermont and they delivered:

Using the Canva AI image tool, I can move these images to my canvas and get back to working on a graphic that works for my brand. This could be a brochure, advertisement or even a social media post. The possibilities of using Canva when it comes to graphics are endless and the combination of AI to replace the necessity of stock images is wildly impressive.

11. Zapier for connecting AI tools with marketing tools

 

Zapier stands out as a pivotal tool for integrating various AI tools with marketing platforms, streamlining the process of automating tasks across different software.

By leveraging Zapier, marketers can create seamless workflows that connect their favorite AI tools—like content creation, customer service bots, or analytics—with the marketing tools they rely on daily, such as email marketing services, CRM systems, and social media platforms. Here’s a simple example of Zapier being used with AI that I think shows the power of this technology:

• Fireflies (or some other call recording software) records and transcribes the meeting
• Zapier triggers a ChatGPT conversation with the transcript
• ChatGPT drafts a follow-up email based on the transcript
• Gmail creates a draft with the AI-generated content

This is all possible today.

It’s absolutely wild.

This connectivity allows for the automation of routine tasks, like updating customer records or posting content across multiple channels, freeing up valuable time to focus on strategy and creative initiatives.

The beauty of Zapier lies in its simplicity; with just a few clicks, you can set up “Zaps” that trigger actions between apps without the need for complex coding.

One of the standout features of Midjourney is its ability to understand and interpret words. I told Midjourney in the example below that I wanted an image of a digital marketing strategist wearing suspenders (and in the next one I said wearing a Coogi Sweater) and in the matter of a few seconds it started to create them:

Marketers can input text descriptions of what they envision, and Midjourney’s AI will bring those visions to life with remarkable accuracy and creativity. It’s one of the best image AI tools that I’ve come across.

This not only accelerates the content creation process but also opens up new possibilities for personalized and targeted visual storytelling. Midjourney’s versatility makes it an indispensable tool across various marketing channels.

Copy.ai started as a Jasper alternative (focused on copywriting) but it has evolved to a GTM AI Platform.

What does that mean?

When it comes to finding extra lubricant to keep your revenue engine moving smooth – Copy.ai is a great option.

18. Bardeen.ai for streamlining workflows within tasks

Bardeen is a fascinating tool.

It’s like Zapier but for the browser and with a focus on B2B sales / marketing. It’s a powerful Chrome extension that can control any browser tab and run workflows 24/7 in the cloud. With its ability to integrate with 100+ apps, Bardeen is perfect for automating repetitive tasks and speeding up time-consuming activities.

Here’s a look at the top three AI automations for HubSpot that can significantly enhance your workflow:

1. Automating Lead List Imports into HubSpot

After attending a trade show or field event, one of the most time-consuming tasks is importing new leads into HubSpot. With Bardeen, you can automate this process effortlessly. The automation allows you to import contact information directly from a variety of sources—such as Google Sheets—into HubSpot.

One of my favorite features is the AI-powered script generator. You click a few buttons are a met with a powerful script in the matter of seconds. The best part is that you can give the project insight into who you are beforehand to ensure it gives you a script that is on brand:

When you’re trying to create engaging content, crafting a compelling script is often half the battle. With Vimeo AI, you just provide a brief description of the video concept, and it generates a script in seconds.

I used this for a promotional video where I wanted to highlight the key benefits of a new product. The script came out polished and on-point, saving me hours I would have otherwise spent brainstorming and writing.

Another standout feature is the built-in, online teleprompter.

It’s incredibly helpful for recording videos when you want to speak directly to the camera with confidence. Vimeo AI’s advanced editor makes this possible, and it’s a huge time-saver. You can remove filler words like “um” and awkward pauses in just a few clicks.

Vimeo AI makes it incredibly easy to capture, edit, and share content from wherever you are. Whether I’m on my desktop or using my mobile device, I can generate scripts, record with the teleprompter, edit the footage, and post directly to social media—all within the Vimeo AI platform.

As content creators, we know that research and analysis are crucial for producing high-quality and relevant content. It can be time-consuming and tedious to gather all the necessary information from various sources.
