About tech partnership

At present, people are questioning if even the most sophisticated AI is a match for the depth of intelligence, emotion and experience of mankind. These three things are crucial when it comes to marketing and connecting with your customer base. People want to believe a company’s message and words have come from the heart – not from a programme that’s merely responded to the input “CRAFT MESSAGE TO MAKE PEOPLE SPEND MONEY”.
