Abstract This review examines the transformative impact of digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainability on contemporary marketing practices. It explores how digital transformation has shifted marketing toward data-driven, omnichannel, and personalized strategies facilitated by AI applications such as machine learning and predictive analytics. The review highlights AI's potential to enhance consumer engagement through improved segmentation, automation, and customer experience, while also addressing ethical and privacy concerns. Additionally, sustainability emerges as a crucial marketing paradigm, emphasizing green marketing, circular economy models, and ethical practices despite challenges like greenwashing and regulatory demands. A strategic framework is proposed to integrate digital innovation, AI capabilities, and sustainability for holistic consumer engagement, underscoring the importance of ethical standards and regulatory compliance. The paper concludes with recommendations for practitioners and future research directions focusing on emerging technologies, behavior measurement, and cross-disciplinary approaches.
