AI Assistance: Grok’s Role in Shaping the Exodus Christmas Appeal
Being an early user of Grok, I am finding my feet turning prompts into answers that add value. One of the things that Grok says it can do is help marketers develop marketing campaigns.
For the past 2 weeks, we have been working on a very good cause, for Exodus, a not-for-profit that helps people of all ages with challenges that they face. With the lead up to Christmas, the charity needs more support than ever to ensure that people who need it most get a hot meal, clean clothing and support where needed.
Ask Grok About Marketing
I asked Grok to help me develop the campaign which we have already commenced executing, to see what it came up with. I was impressed by the basis of what it developed, although like most AI products, it can do with a lot more personalization.
Our campaign is simply: Exodus Christmas Appeal Fund. Why we decided on this is to not confuse the market and to help people who may be charitable, cut through the clutter of crap, and get straight to the point. The work that Exodus does is phenomenal and essential. Without them, many lives would be affected. Whether you donate or volunteer, any support is always welcome.

The Outcome Of Grok’s Marketing Campaign
The above marketing campaign lacks creativity and is very much attuned to a “to do list”. This is rather than something that will help a marketer. I certainly would not call it a marketing strategy, but for all intents and purposes, it gives you “something”.
