Send us a textIs AI Going to Take Over Marketing? Let's Talk About ItLately, I've been having a lot of conversations with business owners and marketers who are wondering the same thing - is AI going to take over marketing? And more importantly, should we be worried about our jobs?In this episode of Marketing Espresso, I'm sharing my honest thoughts on the rise of AI in marketing. Yes, it's a powerful tool. It can speed things up, help us brainstorm content ideas, and even write a first draft or two. But here's the thing: AI doesn't have your lived experience, your memories, or the stories that connect you with your audience. And that's what truly sets your marketing apart.We're seeing a shift away from overly polished, generic content and back toward real connection. People are craving authenticity. They're showing up at in-person events again. They're spending less time on social media and more time building relationships. So no, AI won't replace marketers - but it will challenge us to get clearer on what makes our brand actually stand out.“If we're all doing the same same, you're just going to blend in and be a bit boring.”Tune in now and ask yourself: how are you using AI in your business? Is it enhancing your creativity - or dulling it? I'd love to hear your thoughts - DM me or send in a question for the podcast!Thanks so much for listening to Marketing Espresso.

AI can do it all... So why, when we can use it to produce our next LinkedIn headshot, or our next blog post or our next stock image, would we ever need to invest in photography, content writing or anything creative again? It's a great question and one I think is going to come up more and more.The temptation to get AI to do it quickly and make us look perfect is hard to resist, but why and how can it damage our brand long term?I have my good mate, all-round legend and podcast producer Leah Stanistreet, join us to discuss just this...In a world where it is easier than ever to be perfect, is perfect actually still the goal?In this episode, we delve into the crucial topic of AI's role in photography and content creation. We discuss the noticeable differences between AI-generated content and content created by real people. Leah and I talk about how AI can strip away the human elements that make stories and visuals compelling and relatable. We touch on the importance of capturing authentic moments, whether through brand photos, podcasts, or videos, and why the human element should never be completely removed from creative processes.We also explore the new trend of content curation. With so much content flooding the market, the challenge now is to curate high-quality, meaningful content that stands out. Leah offers her perspective on why balancing AI tools with human creativity is essential for producing truly impactful content.We hope our discussion inspires you to rethink how you approach content creation and encourages you to keep the human touch at the forefront of your efforts.About LeahLeah Stanistreet is the founder of Snappystreet Creative, where she helps women in business stand out through strategic brand photography, engaging podcast content, and impactful video storytelling.
