How to Humanize AI Content So It Will Rank, Engage, and Get Shared in 2025
I still remember my first taste of artificial intelligence (AI).It was “SmarterChild,” a chatbot available on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and Windows Live Messenger in the early 2000s that you could have a “conversation” with when your real friends weren’t online. But honestly, even as a preteen, I could see that it needed a lesson in humanizing AI content. While SmarterChild could ask how I was and tell jokes, the exchanges felt, well, robotic. It couldn’t learn or remember information over time, and it had trouble navigating human quirks like slang and shorthand. It also seemed to always throw out […]
How Brands Can Act Responsibly During a Crisis
It’s been 53 days since Hurricane Helene devastated my hometown of Asheville, but I’m going to level with you: I showered in a FEMA trailer this morning, so it’s still really hard to care about send rates and conversion optimization.

A story about how one business owner used her clout to help her community. And a story about how your brand can do the same, should […]

During that time, it was heartening to see more people from historically excluded groups entering and staying in the industry. It felt like change was happening — diverse teams were forming, working together, and asking the tough questions. Start by Asking the Tough Questions The most important shift I […]
Conducting B2B Market Research the Right Way — Here‘s Everything I’ve Learned
Few things bring me joy like diving into a Wikipedia rabbit hole for a few hours. I relish the chance to research topics and ideas and discover the unexpected ways they connect. And while I may relax that way in my personal life, I also use those skills in business, where I conduct B2B market research to build marketing strategies and plans. Understanding businesses as buyers is its own kind of rabbit hole. They can be complex entities, with dozens or hundreds of employees and leaders, each possessing unique needs and desires. It’s a lot to unpack — but, to […]
How To Make Engaging Videos: 6 Psychology-Backed Hacks
What do you think makes for an engaging video? I used to think that any video under 10 minutes couldn’t offer real value or be truly engaging. Short videos? Those were for people with short attention spans. Then, I stumbled upon a four-minute video about productivity hacks. I almost scrolled past it, but something about the thumbnail caught my eye. After watching it, I replayed it, took notes, and shared it with friends. This puzzled me. How did such a brief video capture my attention? I began noticing that the videos I enjoyed most, regardless of length, had certain qualities. […]

When one of my freelance clients needed some brand growth on a budget, I was pumped to jump into the influencer marketing game. Who hasn’t seen or read about the hype around influencer power, right?

I had little idea how influencer pricing works and […]
