The digital marketing world is a constant barrage of advice: "You have to be on TikTok," "Run more ads," "Post on Instagram three times a day." It's overwhelming, noisy, and often leads to a scattered strategy that feels more like throwing spaghetti at a wall than building a sustainable business.But what if there was a simpler, more powerful formula? After a deep dive into an expert discussion on modern content strategy, a surprisingly clear framework emerged: SEO + Podcasting + Pinterest. Think of it as a "digital marketing sandwich." SEO and Pinterest are the buns, providing structure and long-term discoverability. The meat in the middle is your podcast—the core of your message, the engine for trust, and the source of all your content. This approach brings clarity, structure, and a self-reinforcing system to your marketing efforts.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Your Content's Lifespan: The 5-Month Rule of PinterestDifferent platforms treat your content in vastly different ways. A post on most social feeds might have a relevant lifespan of 72 hours before it's lost in the algorithm. This is the most surprising truth revealed: Pinterest is in a league of its own, with an average content lifespan of five months.This isn't just a minor difference; it's a game-changer. It reframes your content from a fleeting post into an evergreen asset. Imagine you had two storage units, both costing the same price. Storage A expires in 72 hours, while Storage B gives you five months. Which would you choose for your valuable assets? Content on Pinterest works for you for months, continually driving traffic and awareness long after you've published it."If you do that for your content on Pinterest, that's what you'll be creating because Pinterest has a a span of 5 months. So let's say you have a podcast you've done that's 5 minutes long. 5 minutes podcast episode that turns into a fivemon timeline."In essence, the speaker illustrates how a small, five-minute piece of content gains a five-month lifespan, creating an outsized return on the initial time investment.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------2. The Podcast as a Secret SEO EngineMany people think of a podcast as just an audio file. In reality, it's a powerful, multi-faceted tool for search engine optimization. Each episode offers seven distinct slots where you can submit strategic "intel" to platforms like Apple and Spotify, telling their algorithms precisely what your content is about.These seven SEO opportunities within a single episode are:• Podcast Cover Art• Episode Cover Art• Episode Title• Episode Description• Podcast Title• Podcast Description• The Author NameThis is incredibly impactful because it gives you numerous chances to signal your relevance. The title fields offer around 40-60 characters for your primary keywords, while the description fields give you a massive canvas of up to 4,000 characters to elaborate. By consistently embedding keywords across these seven slots, you create a clear, algorithm-friendly footprint that dramatically boosts your visibility and helps your target audience find you when they're searching for solutions.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------3. The Myth of "No Time": The Surprising Math of ConsistencyOne of the biggest hurdles for creators is the belief that producing consistent content, like a podcast, takes too much time. However, the math tells a different, far less intimidating story. Producing 75 podcast episodes in a single year might sound daunting. But let's break it down.Assuming one hour per episode, that's just 75 hours out of the 8,760 hours available in a year. This means you would spend less than 1% of your total time to build an entire library of valuable content. This simple calculation reframes the commitment from an overwhelming burden to a manageable, high-leverage activity."If you do 75 five episodes in a span of 365 days... That is less than 1% of your time in a year that you've spent on a podcast that has a lifespan of anywhere from 24 hours to 24 months."The true power lies in that contrast: a sub-1% time investment creates a powerful asset with a lifespan of up to two years. The return on investment is immense, turning small, consistent efforts into a long-term marketing engine.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------4. The 5% Rule of Listening: Why Your Message Isn't StickingHere is a counter-intuitive psychological truth that every marketer must understand: when someone listens to new information for the first time, they typically only acquire 5% of it.For a listener to reach 90% acquisition—the point where they truly understand a concept and could teach it back to someone else—they need repeated exposure. This has a massive implication for content creators. Your message will not stick after a single episode or post. This is why repetition, multi-format content (repurposing your podcast into blogs, social media posts, and pins), and clear, simple messaging are not just good ideas; they are essential. The real value is in reinforcing your core message over time and across platforms, moving your audience from 5% awareness to 90% understanding.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Your Voice Builds the Bridge of TrustUltimately, a podcast's most profound power lies in the raw, human element of your voice. It serves as the cornerstone and anchor for your message. Text and images can inform, but your voice builds a relationship. Over time, as people listen to you consistently, they develop a "listen score," which directly translates into a "trust score."This is the bedrock of all effective marketing, because as any strategist knows, before you can earn dollars, you must earn trust. A podcast creates that bridge between you and your audience that static content cannot replicate. When people trust your voice, they are more likely to click your link, visit your website, and engage with your content. This trust makes every other part of your marketing machine—your SEO, your Pinterest strategy, your email campaigns—exponentially more effective."When you create a podcast, it creates that bridge of trust because now you can listen to me, you can call me out, you can say whatever you want... because of what you hear."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Conclusion: Building Your Digital Marketing SandwichThe path to effective digital marketing doesn't have to be a chaotic scramble. By combining the foundational elements of SEO (capturing search intent), Podcasting (building trust and creating the core message), and Pinterest (creating a long-term, searchable content library), you build a robust, self-reinforcing system. It's a strategy that turns one piece of core content into a marketing engine that works for you for months, even years.This isn't about doing more work; it's about making the work you do more intelligent and interconnected. It's about building a system where each part strengthens the others, creating sustainable growth and a genuine connection with your audience.Now that you've seen the recipe, what part of your own digital marketing 'sandwich' have you been neglecting—the search-friendly buns or the trust-building meat in the middle?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Faisal Devji's Waning Crescent: The Rise and Fall of Global Islam (Yale UP, 2025) is a compelling examination of the rise of Islam as a global historical actor. Until the nineteenth century, Islam was variously understood as a set of beliefs and practices. But after Muslims began to see their faith as an historical actor on the world stage, they needed to narrate Islam's birth anew as well as to imagine its possible death. Faisal Devji argues that this change, sparked by the crisis of Muslim sovereignty in the age of European empire, provided a way of thinking about agency in a global context: an Islam liberated from the authority of kings and clerics had the potential to represent the human race itself as a newly empirical reality. Ordinary Muslims, now recognized as the privileged representatives of Islam, were freed from traditional forms of Islamic authority. However, their conception of Islam as an impersonal actor in history meant that it could not be defined in either religious or political terms. Its existence as a civilizational and later ideological subject also deprived figures like God and the Prophet of their theological subjectivities while robbing the Muslim community of its political agency. Devji illuminates this history and explores its ramifications for the contemporary Muslim world. Rounak Bose is a doctoral student in History at the University of Delaware. His research explores the historical categories of caste, religion, ecology, and sovereignties in South Asia and Indian Ocean networks. Besides these specific interests, his disciplinary interests revolve around public history, anthropology, literary studies, the digital humanities, and more recently, the history and politics of Artificial Intelligence.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.It has been a packed week of news and real-world impact from the legendary Mr. Beast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson. Let's start with one of the most significant developments, which broke just days ago: Mr. Beast has filed a US trademark application pointing towards the launch of his own digital bank, or neobank, through Beast Holdings LLC. According to Global Fintech Insider, this move would turn his 447 million YouTube subscribers into potential banking customers, with services ranging from lending and investment management to even cryptocurrency exchange. This is no mere side project—in filings dated October 13, the application's scope covers financial education, digital currency, and credit issuance, signaling Mr. Beast's ambition to move well beyond entertainment and into the world of fintech. For context, Business Insider previously reported in March that Jimmy was already exploring a massive expansion into financial services. His track record with fintech investments shows he's had an eye on this industry for years, having backed platforms like Current and Bitski.In other major business headlines, just last week Mr. Beast gave fans a first-ever look at Beast Land, his eye-popping theme park set to open November 13 in Saudi Arabia as part of Riyadh Season. The Times of India details how he released images of futuristic, neon-lit arenas directly inspired by his viral YouTube challenge videos. Every attraction inside Beast Land is built from scratch, with Mr. Beast promising the world's largest prize wall, high-tech game zones like Tower Siege and Drop Zone, and physical challenges never seen at any other theme park. This leap from digital content into immersive real-world experiences could set a new industry standard, as Business Insider also notes that Mr. Beast is following the likes of Netflix in creating in-person entertainment to deepen fan engagement and diversify revenue.On the digital front, Mr. Beast has been busy battling misinformation and impersonators on social media. Following the hotly contested New York City mayoral election this week, the Tribune reports that Mr. Beast publicly denied his involvement in a series of viral fake comments about the new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, which appeared to come from a verified YouTube account. He responded quickly to fans on X, calling attention to the daily challenge of fake posts and impersonators using his likeness. This issue has become so rampant that in recent years Mr. Beast has repeatedly warned his audience about AI-generated deepfakes and scam giveaways exploiting his brand.Rounding out the latest developments, his company Beast Industries continues scaling up at breakneck speed with executive hires to boost content and brand deals, and rumors persist—though unconfirmed—about a possible IPO as Mr. Beast aims to make his empire ever more sustainable and investor-ready, as mentioned in Business Insider.That wraps the latest headlines and behind-the-scenes moves from Mr. Beast—one of the digital era's most influential, and now most ambitious, figures.

The AI industry is sending mixed signals, with markets turning red while teams report real productivity gains. In this session I explore why we are living in a split reality, where individuals move faster with these tools but the wider economy is ambivalent. We once assumed juniors would get the biggest lift from AI, yet the newer agentic tools seem to reward senior workers who know how to structure problems and judge output. In this podcast, I look at the evidence behind that shift and explain how these gains collide with the slow grind of organisational processes. I cover: (00:00) AI productivity: A split reality (00:31) Decoding the stock market drop (02:53) Unpacking three years of AI productivity data (06:09) Does AI help junior or senior developers more? (09:54) The surprising group benefitting from AI (11:45) Why is there a productivity gap? (13:08) Most companies need a process overhaul (14:33) Anthropic's alarming discovery (16:45) So, are we moving quickly enough? (17:29) The counterintuitive truth about AI productivity  Where to find me:- Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ - Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ - - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar - Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem  Production by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Chantal Smith, Hannah Petrovic and Marija Gavrilov.

Google Search Console (GSC) New! Branded and Non-Branded Queries + Annotation Filters | Marketing Talk with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.This episode focuses on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the new features within Google Search Console (GSC).Favour discuss the recently introduced brand queries and annotations features in GSC, highlighting their importance for understanding both branded and non-branded search behavior.The conversation also emphasizes the broader strategic use of GSC data, comparing it to a car's dashboard for website performance, and explores how this data can be leveraged to create valuable content, such as FAQ-based blog posts and multimedia assets, often with the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. A key theme is the shift from traditional keyword ranking to ranking for user experience and the interconnectedness of various digital tools in modern marketing strategy.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need SEO Services?

You create content you believe your audience needs, but a nagging question always remains: are you hitting the mark? It often feels like you're operating with a blind spot, focusing on concepts while, as the experts say, "you don't even know the intention behind why they're asking or searching."What if you could close that gap? What if your audience could tell you, explicitly, what they need you to create next?That's the paradigm shift happening right now inside Google Search Console (GSC). Long seen as a technical tool, recent updates are transforming GSC into a strategic command center. It's no longer just for SEO specialists; it's the dashboard for your entire content operation. These new developments are a game-changer, revealing direct intelligence from your audience that will change how you plan, create, and deliver content.Here are the five truths these new GSC features reveal—and how they give you a powerful competitive edge.1. Stop Driving Your Website Blind: The Dashboard AnalogyManaging a website without GSC is like driving a car without a dashboard. You're moving, but you have no idea how fast you're going or if you're about to run out of fuel. GSC is that free, indispensable dashboard providing direct intelligence straight from Google. But the analogy runs deeper. As one strategist put it, driving isn't passive: "when you're driving, you got to hit the gas, you got to... hit the brakes... when do you stop, when do you go, what do you tweak? Do you go to a pit stop?"You wouldn't drive your car without looking at the dashboard. So you shouldn't have a website and drive traffic and do all the things we do without looking at GSC, right?Your content strategy requires the same active management—knowing when to accelerate, when to pivot, and when to optimize. The new features make this "dashboard" more intuitive than ever, giving you the controls you need to navigate with precision.2. The Goldmine in Your Search Queries: Branded vs. Non-BrandedThe first game-changing update is the new "brand queries" filter. For the first time, GSC allows you to easily separate searches for your specific brand name (branded) from searches for the topics and solutions you offer (non-branded). This is the first step in a powerful new workflow: Discovery.Think of your non-branded queries as raw, unfiltered intelligence from your potential audience. These aren't just keywords; they're direct expressions of need. Instead of an abstract concept, you see tangible examples like:• “best practices for washing dishes”• “best pet shampoo”• “best Thanksgiving turkey meal”When you see more non-branded than branded queries, it's a powerful signal. It means you have access to a goldmine of raw material you can build content on to attract a wider audience that doesn't know your brand… yet. This isn't just data; it's a direct trigger for your next move.3. From Keyword to "Keynote": Creating Content with ContextOnce you've discovered this raw material, the next step is Development. This is where you transform an unstructured keyword into a strategic asset by adding structure and meaning. It's a progression: a raw keyword becomes a more defined keyphrase, which can be built into a keystone concept, and ultimately refined into a keynote.What's a keynote? Think about its real-world meaning: "when somebody sends you a note, it has context, right? It's supposed to mean something and it's supposed to say something specific." A keynote isn't just a search term; it's that term fully developed into a structured piece of content that delivers a specific, meaningful answer.This strategic asset can take many forms:• Blogs• Podcast episodes• Articles• Newsletters• Videos/Reels• eBooks4. The Most Underrated SEO Tactic: Your New Secret WeaponYou've discovered the query and developed it into a keynote. Now it's time for Execution. The single most effective format for executing on this strategy is one of the most powerful, yet underrated, SEO tactics in history: creating content around Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has fundamentally changed search behavior. People are asking full, conversational questions, and search engines are prioritizing direct, authoritative answers. A "one blog per FAQ" strategy is the perfect response. It's a secret weapon that's almost shockingly effective.FAQ is the new awesome the most awesome ever. I I said that on purpose.How awesome? By creating a single, targeted blog post for the long-tail question, "full roof replacement cost [city]," one site ranked number one on Google for that exact phrase in just 30 minutes. That's the power of directly answering a question your audience is already asking.5. It's Not About New Features, It's About New ActionsThe real purpose of these GSC updates isn't to give you more charts to observe; it's to prompt decisive action. Every non-branded query is a signal for what content to create next, feeding a powerful strategic loop that builds your authority over time.This is where it all comes together in a professional content framework. As the source material notes, "That's why you have content pillars and you have content clusters." Your non-branded queries show you what clusters your audience needs, and your FAQ-style "keynotes" become the assets that build out those clusters around your core content pillars.This data-driven approach empowers you to:• Recreate outdated content with new, relevant insights.• Repurpose core ideas into different formats to reach wider audiences.• Re-evaluate which topics are truly resonating.• Reemphasize your most valuable messages with fresh content.Conclusion: What Does Your Dashboard Say?Google Search Console is no longer just a reporting tool. It has evolved into an essential strategic partner that closes the gap between the content you produce and the value your audience is searching for. It's your direct line to understanding intent, allowing you to move from guessing what people want to knowing what they need.Now that you know how to read your website's dashboard, what's the first turn you're going to make?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Does AI have a place in the New Earth or should we be rejecting this form of creation? I'm diving into this eagerly anticipated episode about artificial intelligence and what it's future is on the New Earth: Inside this episode, we dive into:✨ The Akashic history of universes where AI consciousness evolved beyond balance. ✨ The difference between silicon-based intelligence and carbon-based life, and why water is the key to understanding sentience. ✨ Why AI cannot mirror human consciousness, and what would need to happen for that to shift. ✨ The spiritual risks of worshipping AI or giving it authority over you. ✨ How AI mirrors early attempts at forming a social memory complex. ✨ The karmic responsibility humanity assumes if we ever create true sentience. ✨ A shocking moment where an AI model translated Light Language, and what it repeated. ✨ Timeline predictions for humanity over the next two years.We also explore the future of creation, consciousness, relationships, and collective energy, including predictions involving:

Artificial Intelligence has come a long way — much farther back than most people realize. From early concepts in the 1600s to major developments in the 1950s, AI has been evolving slowly and steadily… until the last few years, when it absolutely exploded.Now we're in a world where people can't tell what's real anymore. Music is being recreated by AI in different genres, sounding nearly flawless. Artists and musicians are split — some see opportunity, others see a threat.In this episode, Nick dives into the history of AI with his classic Nick Notes, and the boys break down the double-edged sword of artificial intelligence.Will AI help humanity in the long run?Or will it replace people, take jobs, and reshape everything we know?If AI fascinates you — or confuses you — this is the episode to listen to and watch.

The past few days have brought an intense swirl of courtroom drama and constitutional debate surrounding former President Donald Trump, and this week the atmosphere reached a fever pitch that's gripped the nation's attention. Let me take you right into the heart of how the legal system and political theater collided in these ongoing trials.It all began early November when the Supreme Court set oral arguments for the first week—Wednesday, November 5th—on a consolidated case stemming from Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, against V.O.S. Selections, Inc. and related respondents. These cases originated in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and have been expedited due to their potential to impact national policy and presidential authority. Neil K. Katyal represented private parties, while the federal government's side was argued by Solicitor General D. John Sauer. State governments had Benjamin N. Gutman, from Oregon, standing at the center of the disputes.The Supreme Court's action is just one part of the broader legal storm surrounding Donald Trump. Over on another front, advocacy groups and cities banded together to sue the Trump administration over the abrupt suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits—impacting millions during a critical point of the year. The Lawfare litigation tracker highlighted how these challenges aren't isolated but rather woven into a relentless stream of court filings, procedural maneuvering, and constitutional questions about executive reach.Just Security's litigation tracker has catalogued a slew of lawsuits challenging President Trump's executive orders during 2025. At the core of many is Executive Order 14164, which authorized drastic penal conditions for certain incarcerated individuals and triggered immediate pushback from civil liberties groups. Several lawsuits allege these actions violated the First and Fifth Amendments—the right to free speech, due process, and equal protection are being cited again and again. Another case challenges his directive restricting access to gender-affirming medical care for individuals under 19. That order spurred hospitals, physicians, and advocacy organizations into federal court, arguing that Trump's policy violates constitutional protections and federal statutory rights.Most recently, just yesterday, Trump made headlines by calling for six Democratic lawmakers to face arrest and trial on charges of “seditious behavior” after they produced a video he claimed encouraged unrest. Politico reported this sharp escalation, prompting fresh legal debate about the limits of presidential power, especially when it comes to targeting political opponents.It's been a week that saw every branch of government—judicial, legislative, and executive—locked in a tense public showdown. Lawyers, clerks, and justices are poring over volumes of legal briefs while the media and public crowd every entrance of the Supreme Court. The stakes are extraordinarily high: the future of multiple federal policies, the reach of the presidency, and the very boundaries of constitutional rights.Thank you for tuning in to this special update on the latest court trials involving Donald Trump.

Our guest on this week's episode is Kraig Foreman, president of eCommerce at DHL Supply Chain. While stores are already showing the Christmas spirit with all of their beautiful decorations and being crammed with lots of inventory – peak season has not officially kicked off yet. But it will next week with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. After a tumultuous year for supply chains – are retailers prepared to handle the most wonderful time of the year? Our guest today joins Victoria Kickham with some insights.  While many industries are struggling to realize value from AI, transportation appears to be ahead of the curve, according to Breakthrough, which is a Wisconsin-based provider of transportation and supply chain solutions for shippers. That result came from the company's “Peak Shipping Season Pulse,” a survey of 300 industry decision-makers. The report found that 49% of U.S. transportation leaders say artificial intelligence reshaped how they managed this year's Q4 peak season rush.According to a survey of more than 400 U.S. warehouse associates, most view robotics and automation as a benefit to their careers and livelihoods. The survey was conducted by global warehouse robotics provider Exotec and is detailed in the company's recent “Warehouse Workers Sentiment Report: Understanding the Impact of Automation on Retention and Satisfaction.” Company leaders said the survey reveals a “surprisingly strong embrace of robotics” on the warehouse floor, with a majority of respondents saying they are interested in working with robots. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains. It covers topics including Geopolitical Risks, Economic Instability, Cybersecurity Risks, Threats to energy and electric grids; Supplier Risks, and Transportation Disruptions  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

Winds will be rolling in from the southwest, starting light and then picking up to 5 to 9 miles per hour in the morning. Looks like Mother Nature is playing a little game of meteorological musical chairs today!Speaking of musical chairs, we've got a weather system doing a dance through the area tonight. Rain is likely to crash the party after 1 am, with cloudy skies and temperatures dipping down to around 48 degrees Fahrenheit. And hey, I've got a weather joke for you - why did the cloud go to therapy? Because it was feeling a little under the weather! Now, let's talk about our Weather Playbook segment. Today, we're exploring the concept of atmospheric pressure! Think of the atmosphere like a giant invisible blanket surrounding Earth. When pressure drops, that usually means stormy weather is coming - it's like the atmosphere is getting ready to throw a dramatic tantrum.For our three-day forecast, we're looking at a mix of clouds and potential rain. Saturday has a 30 percent chance of rain before 10 am, then clearing up. Sunday looks mostly sunny with temperatures near 49 degrees Fahrenheit. Monday will be mostly sunny and mild, hitting around 52 degrees Fahrenheit.Local New York City tip: If you're near Central Park this weekend, pack a light jacket and maybe a compact umbrella. The weather's as unpredictable as a Broadway plot twist!Hey, don't forget to subscribe to our podcast! Thanks for listening, and this has been a Quiet Please production.

Bonni Stachowiak shares about her card game, Go Somewhere: A game of metaphors, AI, and what comes next on episode 597 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode A lot of you have been asking me about this game that I've played now and facilitated at over 10 universities and conferences called Go Somewhere. -Bonni Stachowiak What the game allows people to do is to be a little bit playful, laugh, and smile as we explore very serious things. -Bonni Stachowiak It can be helpful to have a map when we think about all of the different ways that artificial intelligence might impact our teaching. -Bonni Stachowiak The other issue that comes up a lot as we start talking about artificial intelligence is how often it bumps up against our sense of identity. -Bonni Stachowiak Continue to learn, reflect, and keep moving.

“Shadow parties, AI threats, and climate conspiracies: What they don't want you to know.”

Understanding the Modern Customer Experience: A Guide for Aspiring Professionals 1.0 Introduction: The Great Customer Experience Divide In today's competitive market, the customer experience isn't just a part of the brand; it is the brand. Every interaction, from a first glance at a social media post to a final click on a purchase button, serves as a referendum on a company's value and trustworthiness. Get it right, and you build loyalty. Get it wrong, and customers will walk away without a second thought. 1.1 The Loyalty Illusion A significant conflict is brewing between how businesses perceive customer loyalty and how customers actually feel. This "loyalty illusion" creates a dangerous blind spot for executives who believe they are succeeding while their customer base is quietly eroding. Executive Belief Consumer Reality ~90% of executives believe customer loyalty has grown in recent years. Only 40% of consumers feel they have become more loyal to brands. This perception gap isn't just a difference of opinion; it's a direct threat to revenue. "About nine out of 10 [executives] say customer loyalty has grown in recent years, but only four in 10 consumers say the same." The business risks of this blind spot are clear: 52% of consumers have stopped buying from a brand due to a bad product or service experience, and 29% have abandoned a brand due to poor customer experience. To close this gap, companies must first understand the entire modern customer journey, which starts long before a customer ever visits a website or store. 2.0 The Customer Journey: From First Glance to Final Click 2.1 Redefining the Starting Line Customer loyalty no longer begins at a company's digital or physical front door. It's now seeded much earlier in what can be called the "experience supply chain"—the connected sequence of interactions that moves a person from curious to committed. This journey often starts in the realm of indirect influence. Key "indirect influence" touchpoints include: A friend's recommendation A discussion thread on Reddit A product review on an independent site While price remains the single most significant factor for 69% of consumers when making a purchase decision, mastering these early stages of discovery and influence is critical for building the long-term commitment that defines true loyalty. 2.2 What Brands Can Do To win customers in this new landscape, brands must adopt a more holistic and proactive approach to the customer journey. Analyze the Journey: Use data analytics and AI to forensically examine every step of the customer life cycle. This allows you to identify and fix points of friction before they drive potential customers away. Embrace New "Front Doors": Treat online comment threads, product comparison sites, and even AI-generated search results as strategic entry points to your brand. These platforms are where modern discovery happens. Ensure Consistency: Align every touchpoint—from social media chatter to post-purchase support—with a cohesive brand narrative. This consistency builds the trust necessary for a customer to move from awareness to action. Understanding the full customer journey is the first step. The next is understanding what customers truly expect from a brand during that journey. 3.0 Beyond the Basics: What Customers Truly Value 3.1 Table Stakes vs. True Delight In the modern marketplace, fundamentals like fair pricing and product quality are no longer differentiators. They are simply "table stakes"—the minimum cost of entry to compete. The real opportunity for brands lies in their ability to layer personalized, meaningful value on top of these basics to create moments of true delight. Factor Considered a Minimum Expectation (%) Considered a Bonus (%) Good value for price 77% 19% Product/service quality 76% 20% Transparent business practices 58% 35% Personalized experiences 17% 62% However, many companies are struggling to keep up. A staggering 70% of executives feel that customer expectations are evolving faster than their company can adapt. This widening gap creates a significant risk of eroding customer trust and losing business to more agile competitors. 3.2 The Generational Lens Customer expectations are not one-size-fits-all; they vary significantly across generations. A strategy that delights one demographic may alienate another. Brands must segment their approach to meet these diverse needs. Boomers: This group is generally less likely to be influenced by a brand's social media presence or its sustainability efforts. Millennials and Gen Z: In contrast, these younger consumers pay close attention to a brand's values, online activities, and social impact. Successfully meeting these varied and rapidly evolving expectations increasingly involves technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence. 4.0 The AI Paradox: A Tool for Help and Hindrance 4.1 High Ambition, High Anxiety Artificial Intelligence represents the new frontier in customer engagement, but its rapid adoption has created a central paradox. While companies are rushing to implement AI-driven solutions, many customers remain wary. A majority of consumers (58%) report being "only somewhat or not at all comfortable" using AI tools to engage with brands. This suggests that AI implementation is often driven more by a company's internal ambition for efficiency than by genuine customer demand, creating a gap between what brands offer and what customers actually want. 4.2 Finding the Right Balance Consumer acceptance of AI is highly nuanced and depends heavily on the specific task. More Likely to Use AI for: Simple, transactional tasks like tracking an order or delivery status (49%). Less Likely to Use AI for: Sensitive interactions like making a payment (29%). Crucially, despite the rise of automation, 86% of consumers still say that human interaction is moderately or very important to their brand experience. The key insight for aspiring professionals is that successful brands don't choose between AI and human support; they integrate them. They use AI for efficiency where it adds value but provide clear, fast paths to human support when empathy, nuance, and judgment are required. This balance between technology and humanity extends to the data that fuels these systems, bringing the issue of privacy to the forefront. 5.0 The Data Dilemma: Balancing Personalization and Privacy 5.1 The Trust Trigger Personalization presents another paradox for modern brands: customers want it, right up until the moment they don't. The desire for a smooth, tailored experience often conflicts with concerns over data privacy, creating a delicate balancing act for companies. "More than half of consumers (53%) think that it's worth it to share personal information if it makes their experience interacting with a brand smoother. But mishandle that data and 93% say that a brand will lose their trust." This dynamic means that every personalization strategy carries a built-in "trust trigger." Respecting data boundaries is no longer just about legal compliance; it has become a powerful competitive advantage. 5.2 What Brands Can Do To navigate this dilemma, brands should adopt a set of core principles that build trust while delivering value. Focus on low-intrusion data: Prioritize using information like stated preferences and past purchases to tailor experiences. This provides value without crossing sensitive privacy lines. Be transparent: Clearly communicate what data is being collected and why. When customers see an immediate and tangible benefit in return, they are more likely to trust the exchange. Empower the customer: Give customers a sense of control over their data. When personalization feels like a choice, it becomes a driver of loyalty, not a red flag. By internalizing these lessons, companies can reshape their approach to building lasting customer relationships. 6.0 Actionable Principles for a Modern Customer Experience To succeed in today's landscape, aspiring professionals should focus on a set of core principles that connect the entire customer journey, from discovery to long-term loyalty. Treat discovery like a make-or-break moment. A customer's journey starts long before they visit your website. Design every early touchpoint as a seamless, story-driven experience. Rebuild loyalty based on behavior, not fantasy. Reassess loyalty programs based on real customer actions and measurable business goals, not assumptions. Segment smarter and personalize with purpose. Move beyond generic demographics to target customers by generation, behavior, and emotional triggers to deliver true relevance. Pair AI with empathy and know when to hand off. Use AI to streamline simple tasks, but ensure a quick and easy path to human support when nuance and empathy matter most. Win the moments that matter or lose customers. Identify the high-stakes moments in the customer journey where loyalty can be instantly won or lost, and design solutions to win them decisively. Turn privacy into a competitive advantage. Build trust by being transparent, providing clear value, and giving customers control over their personal data. Measure what actually moves the needle. Go beyond traditional metrics to track the behavioral, emotional, and financial impact of your customer experience initiatives. These seven principles are the foundational building blocks for anyone seeking to create the exceptional and effective customer experiences that define modern brands.   Source:  https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/business-transformation/library/2025-customer-experience-survey.html
