The 5 AI Marketing Strategies
& Trends for 2026

You know how, when someone codes an app using ChatGPT or Lovable in a few hours, everyone loses their minds calling it “vibe coding”? That same mindset has crept into marketing, and the results are… messy. But also full of opportunity!

On this week’s episode of The 10-Minute Marketer (formerly The @MarketingMax Show), Logan and I dive into 5 AI-powered marketing trends that we’re calling Vibe Marketing. These are the tools, tactics, and techniques that are actually moving the needle going into 2026… but most importantly, they’re ready to test right now.

Here’s a sneak peek at the first three:

🧑‍🚀 Trend #1: Replace Yourself with an Avatar
I used an AI avatar of myself made with HeyGen to read my newsletter out loud on Instagram! I didn’t even record a word; it was the easiest way to repurpose my daily news snippets into Instagram. It pulled in 20–30k views regularly.

But the real trick? I had to hire an editor to add enough overlays, animations, and distractions so people didn’t catch the uncanny valley lip-syncing.

Still, it worked! Huge time saver, and massive reach.

✍️ Trend #2: Replace Your Fingers with AI
Tools like Manis can rewrite anything in your exact tone. I’ve tested a million AI writing tools (okay, maybe like 12 but still), and while none are good enough to write this newsletter, they are good enough for SEO content, LinkedIn posts, and even repurposing rambles into polished thought leadership.

The future isn’t AI writing for you, it’s AI writing like you.

🎨 Trend #3: Make Beautiful Stuff Without Designers
You don’t need a Figma wizard anymore. Gamma is my new favorite tool for creating decks... Some of my clients use Icon.com for ads... Blaze AI for Canva-level graphics... With the right prompts, anyone can make clean, conversion-friendly designs.

The bad AI visuals will keep piling up, but the marketers who master beautiful AI assets? Those are the ones who win.

👀 Want the rest of the trends?
We covered a bunch more vibe marketing trends you can test today in the latest episode. Stuff like building custom internal tools with AI, and how “AI SEO” (aka GEO) might be the biggest opportunity in marketing right now.
