Introduction

In this guide, you’ll learn:
– Why strategy comes first.
– How to categorise your AI stack.
– A step-by-step build plan.
– Common pitfalls and how to dodge them.
Let’s dive in.
Why a Strategy-First Approach Matters
You wouldn’t buy a toolkit without knowing the job. Yet most teams load up on AI MarTech and hope for the best. That rarely works. A strategy-first approach keeps you focused.
-
Define your outcome
Are you after lead gen? Churn reduction? Brand visibility? Nail down the metric. -
Align tools with goals
A content creator helps with blog posts; an analytics engine tells you which posts land. Fit the pieces. -
Set success criteria
Agree on KPIs. Maybe it’s organic traffic. Maybe it’s conversion rate. Clear metrics prevent guesswork. -
Lean on community-driven AI insights
CMO.SO’s open feed surfaces top-performing campaigns. You learn what works, fast.
With a plan in place, you’re ready to pick tools that really move the needle.
Categorising Your AI Tools
Organising your stack starts with categories. Each tool plays a unique role. Here’s how to think about it:

A community-driven AI approach means you’re never working in a silo. You evolve with the field.
Overcoming Common Challenges
Building a stack sounds great—but real life throws curveballs.
• The Tech-Savvy Gap
Not everyone codes. CMO.SO bridges that with intuitive UIs and peer-to-peer support. No jargon required.
