Abstract: The accelerating integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the field of integrated marketing has prompted a reevaluation of the competencies required of future creative professionals. This study examines the preparedness of multimedia art students in the Philippines to engage with AIenhanced marketing environments. Anchored in the TaskTechnology Fit (TTF) Model, the research investigates students' familiarity with and attitudes toward key AI applications, including automated audience targeting, personalized content delivery, and real-time campaign optimization. The findings indicate a growing awareness of AI's relevance; however, this is accompanied by critical gaps in training access, institutional infrastructure, and ethical literacy-particularly in areas concerning data privacy and algorithmic fairness. While respondents exhibit cautious optimism regarding AI's capacity to augment creative and strategic functions, the study underscores the urgent need for curriculum development, crosssector collaboration, and ethical guidelines to support humanAI collaboration. These efforts are essential to cultivating a resilient, future-ready marketing workforce capable of navigating the evolving dynamics of AI-driven industries.
