IT'S NOT YOUR IMAGINATION. ADVERTISING IS GETTING WORSE – AND IT MIGHT BE DELIBERATE

Copywriting in advertising is deteriorating as brands pursue slogans that generate conversation even if they confuse or alienate audiences. The shift away from persuasive writing toward rapid content production is driven by AI adoption, the collapse of traditional copywriting, and a perception that consumers no longer engage with longer form messaging. As agencies chase virality over clarity, the loss of focused craft has led to campaigns that shout rather than persuade, replacing brand narratives with surface-level disruption.

GOOGLE AI MODE TRAFFIC IS UNTRACKABLE

Google's AI Mode in Search hides referral data, making traffic from it invisible in Google Search Console and analytics tools, where it's instead classified as Direct or Unknown. This lack of transparency prevents website owners from knowing how much traffic AI Mode is driving, despite claims that it delivers higher-quality visits. The links generated include a “noreferrer” attribute, which strips referrer information and blocks attribution. While Google states AI features are included in overall search traffic, current documentation only references AI Overviews, not AI Mode, leaving significant gaps in reporting and visibility.

TURN YOUR POWER USERS INTO CREATORS AND VICE VERSA

Brands can turn customers into thriving communities by prioritizing YouTube as a central content engine, repurposing videos across platforms, and deeply engaging in the comments. Transform power users into creators (and vice versa), using them not just for content but as credible advocates who resonate more authentically than branded messaging. Build advisory boards from engaged users to gather product feedback, test content, and foster loyalty. Make users feel heard, empowered, and involved at every stage.

WHY GOING VIRAL IS NOT A VIABLE MARKETING STRATEGY

Video is a powerful format for storytelling, but it only works when the story, audience, and business goals are well-defined before production begins. Many companies fall into the trap of producing content for volume or entertainment value, assuming visibility will translate to impact, but attention without intent rarely drives growth. Build strategic video systems that scale with the brand, resonate with the audience, and deliver insights that guide future efforts.
