It has become a strategic necessity. But how do you truly master AI and turn it into a practical performance lever for your business?

Biggie offers a clear answer with its 5 pillars of AI for marketing. This approach breaks down AI adoption into five complementary and measurable areas, a pragmatic roadmap for transforming your operations. Because effective AI requires both clear strategy and methodical execution.

Understanding the AI Basics: Structure and Uses

Before diving into the pillars, it is important to clarify: not all AI works the same.

Discriminative vs. Generative AI: Understanding the Difference

AI can be categorized in many ways, but one of the simplest distinctions is between discriminative AI and generative AI.

Discriminative AI is traditional AI, used since the 1990s. Its goal is to detect differences and classify data. It learns to draw boundaries between categories by assigning an output label to an input.

Generative AI, popularized by the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, works differently. It analyzes massive datasets to understand internal structures. Once it grasps the essence of an image, text, sound, or video, it can create new content that resembles the originals but is entirely unique.

Using AI Based on Operational Needs

AI can be deployed in different ways, depending on your needs:

• Prompts on LLM interfaces (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) for content generation and quick queries
• Automation and Agents: autonomous systems that execute tasks and make decisions
• Multi-agent orchestration: coordinated AI agents that solve complex problems using real-time data and integrated systems

Understanding these models helps deploy just what you need, not too much, not too little.

The 5 Pillars: A Complete Framework for Smarter Marketing

Biggie's "Smart Buying" approach is built on five interdependent pillars that span the entire marketing cycle, from strategy design to performance measurement.
