AI is changing the game for marketers, but many don’t leverage it to its fullest potential for their businesses. Rather than producing AI-driven content at a faster rate, companies should focus on building a strong brand presence and leveraging AI for intentional automation. How can marketers cut through the noise, avoid common pitfalls, and harness AI to drive measurable results?

While AI can be used for pattern recognition, automation, and audience research, AI optimizer Britney Muller warns against relying on it for fact-based decision-making. You can leverage AI without losing the critical human element by transforming website content into vector embeddings. Analyzing these embeddings allows marketers to identify content clusters, uncover gaps in their website’s information architecture, and optimize internal linking structures to improve search engine rankings. Britney also recommends utilizing Reddit APIs to extract real-time customer sentiments, uncover trending pain points, and analyze top-performing content in specific communities.

In this week’s episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris chats with AI consultant Britney Muller about practical AI strategies for marketers. Britney explains why brand mentions are the new backlinks, how to build AI-powered internal tools, and the ethical concerns marketers should consider when adopting AI.

Many brands rely on a single ad channel, like Meta, to drive sales, but this can stall growth. Yet these brands often realize their brand-centric content doesn’t perform on other platforms like TikTok, YouTube, or connected TV. How can brands create compelling, high-performing ads tailored for multiple channels without losing their identity?

Award-winning creative strategist Jacques Spitzer maintains that each channel requires a unique creative approach, and brands must adjust content for various viewing experiences to drive engagement. Additionally, rather than creating ads centered solely around your brand identity, you should generate consumer-focused content by addressing your audience’s needs and emotions. Jacques also warns against relying too heavily on UGC or performance-driven creative without investing in top-of-funnel, storytelling-based content that builds long-term brand affinity.
