How to Use AI Without Losing Your Brand Voice [Digital Event]

I got a message from Anirudh Singla, CEO and Co-founder of Pepper Content on March 3 that I’ll never forget. Anirudh is an ambitious entrepreneur in the content marketing industry and I’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate with him on a couple content initiatives over the past year. His message was significant to me because it served as a forcing function to finally be a part of the dialogue around generative AI and its impact on content marketing. Anirudh was reaching out to extend the invitation for me to speak on a panel at Marketing & Generative AI Summit - Elevate. The topic was “Maximizing Content Marketing ROI with Generative AI” and I had a couple of weeks to get my thoughts together in a coherent enough manner that other marketers could benefit from my perspective. 

The invitation for Elevate was a catalyst for me. Typically, whenever a new marketing trend emerges my first move is to stand on the digital sidelines and listen to the conversation. When ChatGPT launched in November of last year there were no shortages of opinions on what this means for the future of content marketing. The takes were scorching hot and the division was widening. The more the dialogue took place the more I wanted to maintain my position as a spectator.  It appeared that you were either on “Team AI Fanatic” or “Team AI is Going to Destroy the Content Marketer”. The clock was ticking for me. It was time to consolidate my thoughts and step on the field to play ball. When my session ended and I explored other discussions at Elevate I was left with one big takeaway…

Generative AI is here to stay and it’s time to adapt. 

More recent observations have moved me from spectator to action. Here are some of those nuggets:
