AI has officially taken center stage in modern marketing—but are we actually seeing the results we hoped for?

In our latest webinar, “How to Go Beyond AI Hype and Drive Measurable Results,” Omer Rabin (Co-founder & CRO, Anyword) and Gil Allouche (Founder & CEO, Metadata) pulled back the curtain on the reality of AI-generated content in enterprise ABM. The message was clear: AI is powerful, but without the right feedback loop, data, and strategy, it underperforms.

Here’s a quick recap of the most important takeaways:

AI Is Everywhere—But That Doesn’t Mean It’s Effective

According to Forrester, by 2026, 99% of online content will be AI-generated or AI-assisted. While that stat sounds exciting, the real story is what happens after the content goes live.

👉 64% of enterprise marketing teams are reporting underperforming pipeline—despite increasing their content output. Why? More noise, less precision, and a lack of meaningful connection between content and results.

Why AI Content Underperforms—And What To Do About It

Despite the promise, AI-generated content isn’t hitting the mark. The core reasons?

1. Missing Data: Many teams rely on vanity metrics (clicks, impressions), but real optimization requires full-funnel feedback—think pipeline, CAC, and revenue.
2. Lack of Testing: Without rigorous experimentation, teams can’t identify what’s actually working. Gil emphasized, “There’s no such thing as an evergreen campaign.”
3. AI ≠ Creativity: AI can generate content, but often it lacks the human nuance, tone, and brand voice needed for performance.

The Feedback Loop: The Secret to Making AI Work

As Omer shared, “AI models are trained to generate content, not results.” The key is connecting the dots between what AI generates and how it performs. This means:

• Using prediction models (like Anyword’s) to estimate performance before you publish.
• Tracking deep funnel metrics—not just CTRs or CPLs.
• Creating closed-loop systems that feed real-world performance data back into your AI tools.

Practical Advice: How to Optimize for Enterprise ABM Success

Omer and Gil shared several practical strategies marketers can implement right away:

✅ Use Performance-Driven Insights: Ask smarter questions like, “Which audience is generating the most pipeline?”

✅ Sharpen Your Targeting: Tools like Anyword help you understand which copy resonates with which personas on which platforms—before you publish.

✅ Experiment Like a Pro: Use AI to test hundreds of permutations across messaging, audience segments, and creative.

✅ Think Multi-Channel: Don’t overlook channels like Reddit, X, or Instagram just because they’re not “typical” B2B. Your buyers are still humans.

✅ Automate Intelligently: Use optimizers (like Metadata’s) that run real-time experiments across platforms and allocate budget accordingly.

✅ Maintain Your Brand Voice: AI should learn your brand tone, not the other way around. Build in brand guardrails while allowing room for performance optimization.
