Zappi’s CMO shares her secrets for building AI agents that nail brand voice, manage compliance, and more

The problem? Most are approaching AI wrong, treating sophisticated technology like a vending machine. Insert prompt. Receive output. Hope for the best. Exceptional marketers take a different approach, viewing AI as a team member who needs proper training, clear examples, and ongoing feedback. I‘ve seen this pattern in my work at Zappi and throughout my career in machine learning. Having worked with translation engines […]

Behind the Viral Post Generator: How I reverse-engineered LinkedIn virality (and went viral myself)
LinkedIn is full of narcissists, and I have the data to prove it. It all started when I wanted to go viral on LinkedIn. Rather than simply guessing what might work, I took a data-driven approach, scraping posts and analyzing what drives engagement. What I discovered was surprising (and depressing): The most successful posts are overwhelmingly self-centered, with people talking about themselves in supposedly “inspirational” ways. Instead of joining the self-congratulatory parade, I decided to call it out. I built the Viral Post Generator, a tool that automatically creates eye-roll-worthy posts, making the formula painfully apparent to everyone. In a […]

Social media exploded. We were trending — but not for the reasons anyone hoped. I braced for digital war. To top it off, the BBC showed up bright and early the next morning to document the chaos. Cameras, questions, and crew — all while the team was still recovering from a sleepless night. […]
