Prose was recently featured in both Forbes and Martech Interviews, where Justin Belmont, Founder & CEO of Prose, shared expert insights on how brands can leverage martech for competitive intelligence and AI-driven personalization. These articles highlight emerging trends in martech, including the use of chatbots as personal shoppers and stacking analytics tools for smarter competitive strategies.
Here’s what Justin had to say:
Turn chatbots into personal shoppers
Topic: Martech trends deliver hyper-personalized experiences, boosting customer satisfaction and driving sales
Quote: “AI-powered personalization is the ultimate marketing cheat code. Smart brands are turning chatbots into personal shoppers—“Loved those sneakers? This jacket’s a vibe.” We’ve seen brands crush it by using AI to make holiday shopping feel like VIP treatment, driving sales and customer smiles. It’s all about mixing tech with a personal touch to make interactions less blah and more fun.”

Combine multiple martech tools
Topic: Layering multiple martech tools enables businesses to optimize their strategies
Quote: “Use martech to spy smarter, not harder. The trick is stacking tools for a full competitive picture—SEMrush and Ahrefs for SEO sneak peeks, BuzzSumo to see what content's popping, and social listening tools like Brandwatch to catch trends before they blow up. But here's the thing—data alone won't save you. The real win is spotting the gaps your competitors are missing and making moves before they do. One client shifted ad spend to overlooked keywords and started eating their competitor's lunch without spending a dime more. Martech gives you the intel, but the game is won by playing it smarter.”
