Abstract
In today’s world, digital marketing and artificial intelligence are the cornerstones of modern marketing strategies. However, the rapid advancements in technology and shifts in the business landscape have paved the way for a new and more complex phenomenon: post-human-centric marketing. This emerging concept goes beyond the conventional frameworks of digital marketing and AI, delving into the intricate interactions between humans and technology on deeper, multilayered levels.
Post-human-centric marketing not only leverages smart tools and sophisticated algorithms but also seeks to create an unprecedented convergence between the human mind and technology. In this approach, the consumer is viewed as a multi-dimensional entity, where artificial intelligence and digitalization merge with human intelligence and machine-generated data. This article explores the structural and functional changes in marketing, critically examining new concepts such as symbiotic human-machine communication, advanced personalization, and predictive marketing.
One of the key questions this article addresses is how this innovative approach will impact the roles of marketers and business models. Can post-human-centric marketing lead to increased efficiency and precision in analytics, or will these advancements result in diminished human interaction and a growing divide between brands and customers? The article also examines the challenges and opportunities businesses face as they navigate this fundamental shift.
Ultimately, this article aims to provide a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective, helping readers prepare for the challenges ahead in the post-human-centric marketing world.
