The social media marketing event you love is coming to NYC on May 12–14! Sign up for Social Media Week by December 16 to secure early-bird pricing and get 50% off your registration.
With a valuation reaching $157 billion and a series of strategic initiatives, OpenAI is preparing for a potentially groundbreaking 2025.
The organization aims to lead the AI sector by attracting elite advertising professionals from Google and Meta, launching a ChatGPT integrated with search, and investigating ad-supported revenue models as it refines its profit-making framework.
“OpenAI is already challenging the technologies and services that marketers and consumers depend on for their information and shopping experiences,” stated Gartner vp analyst Nicole Greene.
The recent appointment of former Coinbase marketing chief and Meta executive Kate Rouch as its inaugural chief marketing officer highlights its goals to increase market presence and monetize its products.
“A CMO indicates a commitment to marketing and advertising as they seek to capture a larger market segment and possibly monetize their products,” Greene noted.
In a boost to its momentum, Apple revealed in June that it’s integrating ChatGPT into Siri, enabling users to start inquiries with “Ask ChatGPT” and smoothly connect to OpenAI’s chatbot—an early sign of the potential scale of its partnerships.
“As AI becomes more accessible to consumers, we can anticipate ongoing collaborations that leverage the extensive user base of individuals and businesses that OpenAI currently possesses,” Greene added.
Obstacles Ahead
Despite its enormous valuation and strong foothold in the market, OpenAI’s future remains uncertain.
Legal struggles—including the ongoing conflict with The New York Times—may deplete resources. Moreover, the firm’s significant burn rate and dependence on outside funding introduce further ambiguity to its growth outlook. Indeed, OpenAI anticipates a $5 billion deficit in 2024, as reported by The New York Times.
While the AI leader has not yet fully engaged in the ad model, its smaller rival, Perplexity, is already experimenting with adverts on its AI-driven search engine. This leaves OpenAI with little leeway to postpone its strategies if it aims to retain its edge in the AI competition.
