‍The Problem: Marketing is Costing Firms Millions‍

Administrative burdens in finance marketing consume huge amounts of staff time, pulling valuable resources away from strategy, creativity, and client engagement, and slowing down overall efficiency in achieving business goals. 

‍

Time Wasted Selling and Not Growing 

What your marketing budget is being blown on:

• Campaign setup and monitoring
• Manual CRM updates
• Compliance checks and documentation
• Lead nurturing workflows
• Campaign reporting and performance analysis

‍

According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, automation can reduce manual effort workflows by up to 67%, freeing skilled employees from repetitive tasks.

‍

‍

Marketing also carries costs: AI chatbots in finance save $0.70 per customer interaction compared to human agents, cutting admin burdens in brand and product communication.

‍

In finance, up to 70% of business activities could be automated with generative AI, including marketing.

‍

The Hidden Cost of Marketing Admin

In finance, marketers spend more time on reporting, compliance checks, CRM updates, and lead qualification than on strategy and creativity:

Why Platform-Native AI is Not Bringing in the ROI

Over 80% of companies say they see no material earnings from AI, partly because admin-heavy online marketing systems block adoption.

‍

Fewer than 10% of AI pilots on online marketing and advertising platforms reach scale, leaving teams stuck with spreadsheets, repetitive CRM tasks, and compliance bottlenecks.

‍

This leads to staff churn, wasted ad spend, and campaigns delayed by approvals instead of driven by insights.

‍

‍Agentic AI as the Marketing Specialist that Never Tires

McKinsey estimates Agentic AI could add $200–340 billion annually to finance companies’ profits, much of it from marketing and customer engagement automation.

‍

Agentic AI goes further than generic AI. Instead of analyzing data passively, it executes marketing workflows end-to-end:

‍

‍

Agentic AI drives marketing by identifying and nurturing qualified leads with personalized campaigns, auto-updating the CRM, and tailoring content across demographics. Before launch, every campaign is pre-checked for compliance with SEC, GDPR, and POPIA regulations. 

‍

Once live, AI continuously optimizes performance by reallocating budget to high-ROI channels and generating compliance-ready reports in real time.

‍

Real-World Success

A mid-size finance firm, Klarna Fintech, tested their custom-built Agentic AI by running existing and AI-driven marketing processes side by side, refining them in sprints until results proved reliable — then scaled the successful one.

‍

Here is what they did and what they got out of it:

• Used Agentic AI to create text and image content for campaigns, cutting agency costs by 37%.
• Reduced cost of updating their branded website articles from $20,000+ to nearly zero.
• Reduced image creation cycle from 6 weeks to 7 days.
• Replaced 700+ full-time agents
• Produced more content, faster and cheaper, boosting campaign ROI drastically.

Why Going Generic Won’t Work When It Comes to Using Agentic A.I. for Marketing

The most natural response to grab at the potential savings for Marketing Automation using Agentic AI in Finance is to get something off-the-shelf.

‍

Here is Why That Doesn’t Work:

• Off-the-shelf AI ignores compliance — a non-starter in finance.
• Generic platforms don’t integrate with CRM, risk, and regulatory systems.
• Subscription models scale costs, not value.

‍

Instead, Do This:

Start by identifying where you would deploy hundreds of agents to market and sell your brand specifically, if it didn’t cost you millions.

‍

In finance, agents might help customers discover suitable financial products such as loans, insurance plans, or investment portfolios, providing tailored guidance based on financial profiles, life events, and user behavior.

‍

Reassigning large portions of your traditional and digital marketing to Agentic AI agents whose sole purpose is to create, refine, implement and monitor marketing efforts.
