In the podcast "Everything is Logistics", the host talks about three important things to keep an eye on in freight marketing in 2023: AI tools, content remixing, and influencer marketing.
TAKEAWAYS:

- Influencer marketing involves partnering with influencers in order to reach and engage with a larger audience. It is important to carefully select influencers who align with your brand values and target audience.
