Why You Need Time-Saving Marketing Tools
AI is everywhere in marketing now. According to HubSpot, 74% of marketers use AI today—up from 21% in 2023. No wonder. AI lets us ditch repetitive tasks and focus on strategy, creativity, and real connection.
But “so many tools” is a thing. You need guidance. Which ones actually save time? Which ones boost performance? We asked the CMO.SO community. They answered. Here are their 28 favourite time-saving marketing tools, organised by category and compared with our platform’s strengths.
