“Dear Abby,
I need your advice.
I sell pizza ovens, and I have a website that allows people to buy them. I want to get visitors to my website, and turn those visitors into customers.
I’m embarrassed to say, I have no idea how to launch an advertising campaign! I know the price of my pizza oven, and I know how much money it costs me to make the pizza oven, but that’s about it.
Can you please help me create a campaign?
Sincerely,
Anonymous Advertiser”
There are more than 100 million businesses in the world, all striving for the same goal—GROWTH. While business owners, whether big or small, may deeply understand their products and know the value of each customer, being ‘great at advertising’ is a whole different challenge.
Let’s be honest: navigating the world of online advertising can sometimes feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. There are so many moving parts, and if you’re not an expert, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of clicks, conversions, and creative assets.
Enter Abby, Taboola’s latest Generative AI powered solution, designed to help any business owner be great at advertising. Abby helps advertisers navigate the open web like a GPS-guided highway.
Join Adam Singolda, Founder & CEO of Taboola, as he takes to the streets of New York City, meeting business owners and introducing them to Abby. In a fast-paced world where businesses are vying for attention, Abby empowers anyone to become the ‘Don Draper’ of advertising.
AI with Personality—and Productivity
Studies show that AI is synonymous with ad results. Deloitte found that 91% of surveyed organizations expect generative AI to improve their productivity. Meanwhile, McKinsey & Company reports GenAI could contribute upwards of $4.4 trillion in annual global productivity, and marketing and sales are among the groups expected to reap about 75 percent of that value.
Because it allows advertisers to handle multiple aspects of ad creation, development, and optimization all on their own, Abby is highly skilled at increasing productivity. That means it gives advertisers the authority to use AI autonomously while tapping into tried-and-true data to support their campaigns.
