AI is changing how people discover and buy products. That means creative strategy is changing too.
In this episode of Ad-venturous, Aves explores the difference between creating for humans and creating for AI agents. As more shoppers use tools like ChatGPT to research products, brands need to think beyond ads and landing pages.
The conversation covers what makes a brand more likely to appear in AI recommendations, why reviews, PR, and third-party mentions carry more weight than ever, and how creator content serves a different purpose than media coverage.
You'll also learn:
• Why AI shopping changes the traditional consideration journey
• How to identify the core idea your brand should consistently reinforce
• The role of reviews, Reddit, and earned media in AI discovery
• Why creators should adapt the same message for different audiences
• Practical ways to prepare your brand for the next stage of ecommerce
