Jenny Bristow, CEO & Founder of Hedy & Hopp, is joined by Ben Riggs, Content Manager at Kettering Health, to discuss the current state of AI and content marketing in healthcare. They explore the healthy tension between the excitement and fear of rapidly advancing AI tools, how marketers are leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for content creation and strategy, and the importance of centering consumer trust in an age of AI-generated content.Episode notes:The AI Tension in Healthcare Marketing: Discussion on the "mind-blowing" capabilities and "alarming" risks of new AI video tools (like Arcads), and the fear of increasing distrust in the medical community due to easily generated, inauthentic content.Decreasing Consumer Trust Online: A new eMarketer report shows that consumer trust in online content is decreasing due to the quick growth of AI-generated content in written, video, and image formats.The Evolution of AI Application: Ben details moving from using AI for basic research and data aggregation to leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to investigate existing content and strategically find the "consumer gap" for new, relevant content.NotebookLM as a Productivity Booster: Highlighting NotebookLM as a helpful tool for content writers, describing its utility for safe, precise, investigative thought-partner conversations, writing long-form content, and creating podcasts to help easily digest materials.Prioritizing Foundational Marketing: Emphasizing the importance of strong basic SEO and practitioner practices (keywords, schema) before focusing solely on optimizing content for new AI strategies like GEO (Generative Engine Optimization).The Strategy of Dual Optimization: The Kettering Health team's strategy is to "write both for humans and for humans using AI," prioritizing human-readable, scannable content that is informative and front-loaded with value.Re-Energizing Audience-Centric Content: The shift towards phrase-based search in LLMs has reinforced the need for robust persona development and audience-oriented messaging, proving that the foundation of effective content marketing remains "basic marketing" (user journey, messaging strategy).Looking to a Future of Trust and Responsible AI Adoption: Looking ahead, the hope is for the healthcare industry to adopt a definitive posture on responsible AI engagement, focusing on infrastructure and clear conversations about limits to ensure that AI utilization cultivates and maintains consumer trust.Connect with Jenny:Email: jenny@hedyandhopp.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennybristow/Connect with Ben:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bendriggs/ If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love to hear your feedback!

What were you hearing in the industry that made you believe this might resonate in terms of thought leadership?Your report highlights *strong strategic conviction but uneven operational maturity* across RMNs. Where do you see the biggest disconnect between ambition and enablement today—and what's driving that gap?Any thoughts on how organizations can choose a model that will drive success?Fewer than half of surveyed RMNs have cross-functional KPIs, and fewer than one-third tie incentives to merchandising teams. What's preventing incentive alignment, and what does “good” look like?Measurement and reporting ranked as *the most pressing challenge* for RMNs—especially proving incrementality. What innovations or methodological shifts do you expect will actually move the industry forward?Survey respondents anticipate future growth from a mix of in-store, onsite, and offsite channels. What formats or surfaces do you see emerging as the *next big accelerators* of RMN revenue?Respondents believe zero-click search and agentic AI will be *the most disruptive forces* shaping retail media over the next three years. How should brands and RMNs prepare for this shift?RMNs say that next year, their top priorities will shift toward *tech modernization, data infrastructure, and off-site media acceleration.* What will separate the networks that actually deliver from those that simply aspire?How do interested professionals learn more about this research report?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

Social media caps for teens, AI-written subject lines, and the fact that people now search TikTok like Google all collide in this week's chaos as Jay Schwedelson riffs on what actually matters for marketers right now. You will pick up a tiny email tweak that can lift opens, a smarter way to write social posts for search, and a frankly unhinged dose of pop culture takes from Avatar 3 to the return of My Strange Addiction.ㅤBest Moments:(00:34) Virginia limits social media scrolling for users under 16 to 60 minutes a day and Jay wonders how platforms, parents, and free speech lawsuits will actually shape what happens next.(02:04) Jay shares new World Data Research results showing that all lowercase email subject lines can outperform polished AI title-cased subject lines and lift open rates by around 14 percent.(03:30) Between new Forbes and eMarketer stats, Jay breaks down why social platforms are becoming the primary search engine and why captions, transcripts, and on-screen text now need to be written like search hooks, not clever throwaways.(05:19) Jay cannot get over Avatar 3 passing a billion dollars at the box office when he does not know a single human who admits to seeing it.(06:29) The return of My Strange Addiction sends Jay into a horrified recap of car romances, Eiffel Tower marriages, and drywall eating that makes him question both humanity and his own viewing choices.ㅤCheck out Jay's YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay's TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelsonCheck Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/

The CPG Guys are joined by Chris Riegel CEO of STRATACACHE  with retail solutions that allow them to be partners in creating an in-store evolution, fitting into retail existing ecosystem by connecting different technologies to truly drive a frictionless store visit. This episode is sponsored by STRATACACHEFind Chris Riegel on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-riegel-6931a28/Find STRATACACHE on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/stratacache/Find STRATACACHE online here: https://www.stratacache.com/en/Chris answers these questions:You are hosting a full day focused on retail media inside the physical store—a deliberate choice given how much attention off-site and digital retail media still get. What convinced you that the store deserved its own moment right now? Is it fair to say the industry is moving from speculation to proof? What triggered that shift?We'll have voices from BCG, McKinsey, EMARKETER, and Solomon Partners in the room. When consultants, analysts, and investors all start telling a similar story, what does that signal to you?One of the themes we'll explore during the day is the idea that the traditional funnel has collapsed and influence now happens closer to the moment of purchase. Why is the store uniquely resilient in that new influence model?Why do you think shoppers still trust in-store media more than online media? Is that trust something retailers can scale without breaking it?We'll hear during the day that agentic AI is compressing margins in digital retail media. Help connect the dots for our audience—why does that dynamic actually elevate the strategic value of physical stores?If AI makes digital media more efficient but less differentiated, does the store become one of the few environments where context still matters more than targeting?Why is that shift so foundational to unlocking real retail media scale in stores?We'll have IAB and measurement leaders talking about standards. From your perspective, how important is measurement alignment to making in-store media credible to brands and CFOs?What separates retailers who are moving from pilots to platforms from those who are still stuck in experimentation?We'll also explore how the store is becoming a fully expressive media environment—not just screens, but experience. For brands listening, what does “store-native creative” really demand of them?What outdated thinking do you hope gets challenged during this event? Is the biggest barrier today technology, standards, or internal politics?Looking ahead to 2026, what will define success for retailers who fully embrace in-store media versus those who don't?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.
