The Modern Marketing Stack Is AI-Powered

Marketing in 2026 without AI is like marketing in 2010 without social media — technically possible, but you're competing with one hand tied behind your back. Here's the complete AI toolkit, organised by marketing function.

Jasper — $50/mo

The marketing content engine. Blog posts, landing pages, email copy, social media, and ad variations — all in your brand voice. The campaign workflow generates multi-channel content from a single brief.

ChatGPT Plus — $20/mo

Strategy, research, and general-purpose content. Competitive analysis, content calendars, persona development, and brainstorming. Custom GPTs encode your marketing playbooks.

Canva AI — $13/mo

Every visual asset. Social graphics, presentations, infographics, video thumbnails, and ad creatives. Magic Design generates from prompts; brand kit keeps everything consistent.
