Digital Marketing — Tools and Methodologies
Joint presentation IEEE Ottawa Section Consultants Network and IET Ottawa LN
Not your Grandmother’s Marketing – The impact of SaaS and AI
 Since Google’s arrival on the scene in the late 1990’s,
marketing took a turn to digital, never to look back again. With the proliferation of technologies such
as Artificial Intelligence, and novel business models like
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), marketing tools and techniques continue to
rapidly evolve. Our eyes glued to
screens of devices of all sizes, we are at the same time a willing victim and a
reluctant participant in the marketing dance in both our professional and
personal lives. These combined bring a
huge democratization of marketing for businesses, allowing for successful
growth in the most unlikely locations.
