Why Agentic Marketing Matters

Consumers are getting used to letting AI decide for them. IDC predicts that agentic shoppers will represent more than $1 trillion of economic influence by 2033 — brands will be marketing not just to people, but to the AI agents that screen, compare, and buy on their behalf.

The logic of competition changes with it: marketing to agents is not about reach; it is about response. Agents arrive in the market with the context needed to act in real time — and the brand that can make the most acceptable offers the fastest will win most deals.

This is exactly what DeepZero has focused on for 17 years — every marketing decision driven by data and models, executed and optimized in a closed loop by AI agents.

What Is IDC MarketScape?

The IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT suppliers in a given market. Positioning on the y-axis reflects the vendor's current capabilities and how well aligned it is to customer needs; positioning on the x-axis indicates how well the vendor's future strategy aligns with what customers will require in three to five years.

Inclusion itself is a high bar: vendors must demonstrate production-level deployment of agents (beyond pilot or experimental use), agent orchestration across multiple workflows and systems, and governance capabilities such as observability, auditing, compliance, and policy enforcement — not every marketing AI vendor qualifies.

In the 2026 worldwide agentic marketing assessment for B2C enterprises, IDC evaluated 19 vendors globally, and only 7 were positioned in the Leaders category. DeepZero ranks among the leaders on both capabilities and strategies.
