Advancing the Engagement: Game-Changing AI Trends for Retail

 

WHAT IS A MARTECH HUDDLE?

It is an initiative by Martechvibe in association with SAP Emarsys.

Martech Huddle is specially designed to engage marketing, technology, and marketing leaders who have revolutionised brands by using technology as a catalyst. It focuses on a group of carefully selected industry stalwarts, bringing them together to participate in an exclusive closed-door session. The selected professionals bring a variety of viewpoints, experiences, and domain expertise, but they all share the vision of transforming businesses by enhancing the customer experience while utilising technology and new digital methods. The huddle encourages open discussions among peers, resulting in a better strategy roadmap for organisations. In the age of building peer exchange resources, these gatherings form a community of like-minded business leaders working to explore insights, ideas and best practices.

ABOUT THIS EDITION:

Saudi Arabia’s retail sector is undergoing rapid transformation, powered by AI adoption that is redefining customer engagement across physical and digital channels. While AI is being discussed in every boardroom, the opportunity lies not in ubiquity but in effective use. According to global research, 71% of marketers agree AI accelerates campaign delivery, yet fragmented data often holds back its true potential.

For KSA retailers, the imperative is clear: unify in-store and online data to enable seamless omnichannel personalisation. Consumers in the region increasingly expect relevant, real-time recommendations, loyalty recognition, and consistent experiences, whether they shop in Riyadh malls or online marketplaces. At the same time, trust in data use remains fragile, making transparency and responsible AI adoption non-negotiable.

As competition intensifies, the retailers winning in the Kingdom will be those who combine AI innovation with cultural nuance, transparency, and customer-first strategies that build lasting loyalty.
