Full Marketing Pipeline (Brief → Metrics)

Using ASCN Agent, marketers and operations managers can simplify their marketing processes from the start of a brief to the analysis of metrics resulting from the use of their marketing assets. This allows marketers and operations managers to spend more time focusing on strategy instead of execution.

General Description

The ASCN.AI platform is an all-in-one solution through which all marketing activity is routed in a legitimate marketing pipeline, i.e., every step of the marketing lifecycle from the creation of a brief and all of the marketing assets generated to the administration of the marketing assets is performed through this system and automates the generation of content within a brief and automates all other routine marketing processes and functions to the maximum extent possible. The agents assigned to the marketing project follow an established calendar and optimize the resources necessary to execute the activities associated with the marketing project.

By automating and streamlining the activities associated with generating marketing materials, the systems reduce or eliminate the occurrence of errors that occur with the manual entry of data and result in greater quality in the standards of the marketing materials that are generated, as a result, the users of the ASCN AI system have more time to address the strategic aspects of the marketing assets created by the system, while the ASCN AI system is managing the non-strategic aspects of the marketing assets created by the users. The simplification of the workflow will enable quicker results.

How Automation Works

The automation of the marketing process begins with analyzing the project by reviewing the requirements of the project in terms of required materials, including brand files and content specifications files. The system analyzes and scans the project files to determine the minimum design elements for the creation of content.

The next step in the process is to generate text and visual materials for the project. The system uses an LLM router for the creation of content based on the project requirements and the type of task the project addresses for the creation of content that meets the user's expectations in relation to the project's requirements for use of the marketing materials.

After the finalization of written content is completed for the marketing materials created through the ASCN AI system, the written content must go through a review period to confirm that it meets the established criteria for written content used in marketing. The system verifies compliance with the established criteria to reduce the chances of accuracy and consistency issues. The published materials are available on nine distinct platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn after all of the approvals have been granted.

The last step is for the system to account for how much traffic the published content receives and to provide users with analytics on how much traffic they receive from each of the published content, thereby allowing users to determine how effective their marketing efforts are and to adjust their overall marketing strategies, ultimately streamlining their content management process and improving results from the entire marketing campaign.

Why It Is More Effective Than Manual Work

This is because of the criteria used to define what user-friendly means, compared to manual work. Automation using the system results in an increase of productivity for each team member. First, automated processes reduce the amount of time required to produce each piece of content, allowing marketers more time to focus on higher-level tasks. An automated system will perform repetitive functions, thereby allowing marketers to spend more time on strategy and creative activity.

What Results Users Get

Based on early adopters' experience, users see a significant decrease in the time spent completing marketing-related tasks. Through automated processes, users save anywhere from 40 to 60 minutes each day, which totals to approximately 15 hours a month. The time gained through automating your marketing processes will enable your team to focus on more strategic and creative tasks, therefore positively influencing overall team efficiency.

In addition to saving time, users report that the accuracy and quality of the published content have also improved as a result of eliminating human error by automating the data entry process. Before publishing any content, the automated marketing processes also conduct a compliance audit to ensure that all content meets the required industry standards to minimize the risk of error or inconsistency. These three areas – content quality and accuracy, as well as maintaining brand image through compliance with industry standards – are all critical for promoting audience trust.

Automating the publication of content to 9 different platforms simultaneously reaches a wider audience, resulting in engagement and success in each marketing campaign. Users can easily track their marketing analytics so they can adapt their marketing strategy in real-time, based on the latest consumer preferences.

Implementation Examples

There are no published case studies to demonstrate specific examples; however, the majority of users agree that by automating their marketing processes, they have ultimately saved a significant amount of time previously used on more mundane, routine tasks, enabling them to concentrate on more high-value items in the marketing process.

Authoring and publishing marketing-related content through automated marketing processes reduces errors associated with manually entering data into the system — A necessary component for producing high-quality and consistent marketing-related materials in order to build and maintain a reputable brand image. Many users indicated that the automated processes produced more accurate and compliant content.

Another benefit of implementing an automated marketing process is that users can quickly react to changes in consumer preferences. As such, by automating the collection of marketing-related analytics, users gain insight into the most impactful pieces of content and, as a result, can modify their marketing strategy accordingly. This, in turn, leads to higher levels of audience engagement and an overall successful marketing campaign.
