<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-franchise-brands-can-prepare-for-the-rise-of-ai-driven-advertising-2729548">Artificial intelligence</a> continues to make headlines — and moves — in both the tech and franchising worlds.Leading AI company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.anthropic.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Anthropic</a> is reportedly in talks for a new funding round that could push its valuation over $100 billion,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/investors-value-anthropic-at-100b-7502626/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn News reported</a>. That would mark a sharp rise from the $61.5 billion valuation the company received earlier this year after raising $3.5 billion. In just a month, Anthropic’s annualized revenue has jumped from $3 billion to $4 billion.&nbsp;While big names like Anthropic are driving momentum on the global stage, AI is also transforming everyday operations in franchising. One example is&nbsp;<a href="http://flamel.ai/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Flamel.ai</a>, a marketing platform built specifically for franchises and multi-location businesses. The company recently released a set of AI-powered tools that help brands manage and scale their social media advertising across dozens — or even hundreds — of locations."Most multi-location brands are stuck cobbling together social ads one location at a time,"&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-ehlinger/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Paul Ehlinger</a>, founder and CEO of Flamel.ai,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/flamelai-launches-game-changing-social-advertising-tools-for-multi-location-brands-302506977.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">said in a press release</a>. “We built these tools so franchise marketers can spend less time managing campaigns and more time growing their brand. Franchise brands who advertise on social media earn $5 in revenue for every $1 spent. Flamel.ai's new release helps these businesses achieve those returns more easily than ever.”The new tools allow franchisors to launch and manage paid campaigns faster and more efficiently. Rather than manually creating ads for each location, users can automate much of the process. The platform also adapts ad content for each local market, including creative elements, targeting and copy. For franchising, where local relevance matters just as much as brand consistency, this kind of automation can streamline a traditionally time-consuming process.Read the original LinkedIn article about Anthropic&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/investors-value-anthropic-at-100b-7502626/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;Read the original press release about Flamel.ai&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/flamelai-launches-game-changing-social-advertising-tools-for-multi-location-brands-302506977.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;Every great franchisee had help buying a franchise.
