My answer is always YES

AI can definitely help you write content, generate ideas, analyse data and save time.
But AI doesn't know your business goals.

It doesn't understand your customers the way you do.
It can't decide your marketing strategy.

And it definitely can't replace experience when it comes to running profitable campaigns.

Take Performance Marketing for example.

AI can suggest audiences, generate ad copy and even recommend campaign settings.

But knowing WHY a campaign isn't performing, understanding customer behaviour, improving landing pages, testing creatives and making budget decisions still comes from the marketer.

That's why I think AI should be treated as a tool, not a replacement for learning the fundamentals, if I was starting from scratch today, my roadmap would probably look like this:

* Learn Digital Marketing fundamentals first
* Understand SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads and Content Marketing
* Learn how AI fits into each of those skills
* Build real projects instead of only watching tutorials
* Keep experimenting because the industry changes constantly
Just my perspective.

If you were starting your Digital Marketing journey today, what would your roadmap look like?

I always get this question from people around that SEO is dead no need to do seo anyone as AI search is everything and people are gng on chatbots for anything even simple.

Personally I don't think SEO is going anywhere, I think the real shift is that traditional SEO alone isn't enough anymore.
People are searching on Google, They're asking ChatGPT ,they're using Gemini, trying Perplexity.

If your content is only written to rank on Google and not written to answer real questions, I think you're going to struggle over the next few years.

For me it's no longer just about SEO.
It's SEO + AEO + GEO.
Optimising for Google is still important but now I'm also thinking about whether my content can be understood and referenced by AI tools like chatgpt, Gemini and Claude.

Curious what everyone else thinks and how are they managing to rank on answer engine optimization.
