AI marketing tools help agencies like Lasso Up do more, faster. They free up our time so we can double down on what really moves the needle for clients: strategic thinking, creative execution, and agile marketing.

But here’s the thing, AI alone isn’t enough. While these tools can speed up content creation, analyze data, and even suggest campaign ideas, they still need a trained strategist to guide them. Without expert oversight, AI outputs fall flat.

That’s why brands still need agencies. At Lasso Up, we blend human insight with AI innovation to deliver smarter content, sharper strategy, and stronger ROI. Below, we’re sharing a few of our favorite AI tools that help us save time and deliver high-impact marketing, so you can get more done and get more from your agency partner.

Why Agencies Are Adopting AI Marketing Tools

The digital marketing field is rapidly evolving, and agencies that fail to keep pace will inevitably lose any competitive advantage. AI is helping drive this evolution and providing marketing agencies the tools they need to evolve. 

AI marketing tools enable us to create high-quality content at the speed and volume necessary to ensure our clients maintain and enhance online relevance while capturing more leads. These tools are not taking over our work in producing the best digital content for our clients; they support our efforts, allowing us more time to focus on strategy. While AI can generate impressive content on its own, it still relies on human insight to ensure alignment with brand voice, audience intent, and marketing goals. That’s why more agencies are strategically adopting AI, not as a shortcut, but as a way to elevate the work we do.

AI Marketing Tools That Streamline and Enhance Content Creation

Marketing Agencies utilize several AI marketing tools to enhance and develop high-impact content and better strategize search engine optimization (SEO) for optimal rankings. Here’s a rundown of AI tools, how we use them, and how our clients benefit from them.  

ChatGPT (OpenAI)

The open-source ChatGPT ushered in the AI revolution worldwide in late 2022, quickly becoming the fastest-growing consumer application, with 100s of millions of users. Digital marketers use it to generate content ideas, brainstorm social media and blog outlines, target online research sources, and draft copy concepts. Developing initial content drafts quicker benefits our clients by leaving more time for content refinement, A/B testing, and flexibility to make strategic pivots.

SEMrush SEO Writing Assistant

SEMrush SEO Writing Assistant allows writers to integrate their content writing with SEO in real-time while ensuring originality, conformance to brand tone, and ease of reading. Naturally, digital marketers utilize it to optimize content, whether blog posts, web pages, social media, or other types of content. The client benefits because this AI tool helps ensure their content ranks well, resonates with readers, and incorporates their brand’s voice.

Anyword

Anyword is an AI-powered writing platform that helps generate high-performing, conversion-focused headlines, email subject lines, and ad copy. It is guided by a predictive performance score that allows us to pick the most effective versions before publishing. Anyword integrates with other AI tools, and we can train it to align generated content with each client’s unique style and messaging. By delivering better-performing content with less guesswork, clients benefit from more clicks, opens, and conversions.

Canva Magic (Magic Write & Magic Design)

With simple text prompts, Canva Magic lets marketers quickly generate and revise design layouts, social media post templates, and other design elements. The time it saves on design work helps test more creative directions faster, greatly benefiting social-first brand clients. 

Adobe Firefly

You can quickly create and edit images, text effects, and designs using text prompts in AI-powered Adobe Firefly. This allows marketers more creative leeway to experiment with and test different marketing visuals within a company’s brand guidelines. The client benefits because we can enhance and accelerate our delivery of branded content without needing the resources of a full design team. 

Fathom Video

Agency-client communications often generate significant information. Fathom Video cuts through the noise by instantly transcribing, summarizing, and highlighting the critical information shared during client calls, recorded strategy sessions, and online meetings. By capturing crucial information and key insights, this AI tool ensures that the agency and client are aligned on marketing strategy goals and helps marketers move quickly to execute consultation and meeting objectives.    

What We Do With the Time Saved by AI

Without a doubt, AI marketing tools save us time. However, that doesn’t give us an excuse to call it a day early. Instead, it gives us more time to:

• Reinvest more time into strategy with enhanced audience targeting, funnel planning, and creative ideation.
• Create more value by offering more content formats (blogs, emails, paid ads, etc.) and faster campaign rollouts.
• Refine performance through additional testing, analysis, and refinement of marketing initiatives.

The result? Smarter, more agile marketing for our clients.

Why You Still Need a Marketing Agency (Even With AI)

AI can generate content and perform other tasks, but it doesn’t know your audience, goals, brand voice, or competitive advantage. To work effectively, AI marketing tools need expert overseers to: 

• Guide AI prompts, ensure output quality, and refine them as needed.
• Make strategic decisions.
• Understand platform trends and human behavior.
• Ensure content meets Google’s E-E-A-T framework (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness).

AI is just a tool without vigilant guidance and oversight, like a paintbrush without the artist.

FAQ: AI Marketing Tools

Q: What are AI marketing tools?
A: AI marketing tools are software platforms powered by artificial intelligence that help marketers generate content, analyze data, design visuals, manage campaigns, and automate routine tasks. These tools can dramatically increase efficiency and output, but still require human expertise to ensure brand alignment, strategy, and messaging accuracy.

Q: How do AI marketing tools help agencies save time?
A: AI tools automate repetitive tasks like drafting copy, analyzing performance data, or formatting graphics. This time savings allows agency teams to focus more on creative thinking, campaign strategy, and performance refinement. Instead of replacing marketers, AI gives them more space to do what they do best: solve problems and drive results.

Q: Which AI marketing tools do agencies commonly use?
A: Common tools include ChatGPT for content ideation, SEMrush SEO Writing Assistant for optimization, Anyword for conversion-based copywriting, Canva Magic and Adobe Firefly for design support, and Fathom Video for meeting summaries. Each tool plays a unique role in making marketing execution faster and more effective.

Q: Can AI tools replace human marketers?
A: No. While AI can speed up execution and provide valuable insights, it lacks the strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and brand nuance that expert marketers bring. AI tools are only as practical as the humans guiding them. Without strategic oversight, AI outputs often lack depth, context, or audience relevance.

Q: What are the risks of relying too much on AI in marketing?
A: Overreliance on AI can lead to generic, off-brand content that doesn’t connect with your audience. It may also result in SEO penalties if the content doesn’t meet quality standards like Google’s E-E-A-T framework. There’s also the risk of data inaccuracies, outdated training sets, and a lack of brand voice consistency if AI isn’t carefully managed.

Q: How does AI improve content quality?
A: AI improves content quality by speeding up ideation, suggesting data-backed optimizations, and enabling rapid testing of multiple versions. Tools like Anyword use predictive performance scoring to identify which headlines or ad copy are likely to convert best, giving marketers a head start in performance optimization.

Q: How do agencies blend AI with human strategy?
A: Agencies guide the AI process from start to finish, crafting better prompts, editing AI-generated content for clarity and tone, aligning results with marketing goals, and layering in strategic insights. This collaboration ensures the content is not only fast but also on-brand, user-focused, and conversion-ready.

Q: Why should businesses still hire an agency if AI tools are available?
A: Agencies offer experience, strategic oversight, creative vision, and cross-channel integration that AI cannot provide on its own. While you can access AI tools yourself, an agency knows how to use them effectively, pair them with a broader strategy, and ensure your marketing drives measurable ROI.
