AI in Marketing: Creating Customer Value in an AI-Driven Enterprise

The Wharton School

AI and Analytics

About Programme

Every firm’s purpose is value creation. Marketing is the engine through which that value is realized, and artificial intelligence is transforming how firms deliver and sustain it. Today’s leaders must understand how AI reshapes not only marketing, but the entire enterprise — how decisions are made, experiences are designed, and value is delivered.

To lead in this new landscape, executives must ensure intelligent technology drives intelligent value creation. AI in Marketing: Creating Customer Value in an AI-Driven Enterprise examines how artificial intelligence elevates every stage of value creation — including insight generation, implementation, and a stronger focus on empirical decision making — driving smarter strategy, stronger customer connections, and measurable business impact.

Blended Program Structure: A Three-Phase Format Designed for How Leaders Learn Today

This program’s three-part format combines self-paced online, live online, and in-person learning to give participants both flexibility and focus. Each phase builds on the last, creating space to reflect, apply new ideas, and connect insights before the on-campus experience. It reflects a broader pedagogical evolution that recognizes how leaders learn today: through ongoing engagement, practical application, and meaningful connection.

By the time participants arrive in Philadelphia, they’ve tested concepts and sharpened their questions. They’re ready for hands-on discussion, collaboration, and planning that turn ideas into action and learning into lasting impact.
