  • 🎯 AI is changing the way people #search and consume #content. It is constantly evolving; marketing departments everywhere need to ensure they stay ahead of changes and pivot fast and effectively. Our CEO Jim Yu shares some fascinating insights on #Forbes #CMO and in his post below on how AI is inventing customer experiences across multiple industries. 🛒 Shopping experiences are evolving from 'product recommendations' to 'lifestyle orchestration.' 🌟 Travel planning is shifting from comparison-based to context-aware journaling 🌡️ Healthcare is moving from reactive solutions to predictive wellness partnerships 🔍 #SEO, search, and #contentmarketers are in a great position to help brands connect with and serve their customers in the most creative and impactful #digital ways. #AI #Marketing #DigitalStrategy #FutureOfBrands #MarketingInnovation #BrightEdge #SearchAI

    🔍 Thrilled to share insights with Forbes CMO and below, I share more about the imminent need to know how AI changes customer and brand connection. From Google AI Overviews to Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, and more, the convergence of search and AI opens up many new opportunities and a much broader Total Addressable Market (TAM) for organizations everywhere. 🤔 Yet, according to SAS and Coleman Parks research: •  90% of organizations plan to invest in Generative AI for marketing in 2025 •  90% of CMOs admit that they do not fully understand #GenerativeAI or its potential impact ⚖️ This presents a striking paradox – a knowledge gap presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the forward-thinking #CMO and marketing leaders. CMOs need to drive marketing's understanding of their customers' search behaviors right now! 🎯 AI is Reshaping Customer Experiences: Just as the #iPhone and #Appstore transformed our world, we're standing at the threshold of another seismic shift. But this time, AI isn't just changing how we interact with technology—it's fundamentally reimagining how we experience everything. Here are three examples. 🛍️ Shopping is becoming truly intelligent. Forget basic product recommendations. We're moving toward AI that understands context, preferences, and intent at scale. Imagine an AI that doesn't just suggest a bread maker—it understands your cooking style kitchen setup and even connects you with communities of similar enthusiasts. ✈️ Travel planning is being revolutionized. The days of juggling multiple tabs and comparison sites are numbered. AI is creating seamless, personalized journeys that consider everything from your preferred airport to your budget constraints—all in #realtime. 🏥 Healthcare is becoming proactive, not reactive. AI isn't just providing information; it's delivering personalized guidance that anticipates needs, connects resources, and helps users make informed decisions about their well-being. The big takeaway: AI isn't just about #automation or #efficiency. It's about creating deeply personalized, intuitive experiences that adapt and evolve with each customer interaction. 💡 The simple solution: As marketers or brands, ask yourself: 1)     What sets us apart? 2)     What is our unique advantage? 3)     How can we create content that leverages our expertise and positions us as the go-to authority? ⚡For CMOs, the imperative is clear: There is an imminent need to shift from thinking about AI as a tool to seeing it as a transformative force that will reshape how you connect with and serve your customers. 🔗https://lnkd.in/g-ctbp6p #AIInnovation #CustomerExperience #FutureOfMarketing #ForbesCMO #Forbes

    🚀 Google's Gemini 2.0: The Next Step in the Evolution of AI in Search 🌐 "No product has been transformed more by AI than Search," states Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and today's announcement proves it! 💡 With the release of Gemini 2.0, Google is raising the bar for developers by introducing its Multimodal Live API— designed to transform how we build and interact with apps. For search marketers, it is a big step as part of the revolution in understanding how consumers engage with content and information. From tackling complex topics to solving advanced math problems and understanding multimodal queries, #Gemini 2.0 will further power AI Overviews, taking Google search to another new and next level. Here's what's exciting: ✅ Enhanced reasoning capabilities for multi-step questions. ✅ Integration with tools like Lens, Maps, and even gaming knowledge through Genie 2. ✅ Improved AIO results and a roadmap to expand across more countries and languages by next year. This move also brings Google Gemini closer to competing with OpenAI's Realtime API, but with added multimodal functionality that's set to push search marketing boundaries even further. It will drive more rethinking about creating and optimizing content for #Multimodal AI in 2025. 🌍#AI #GoogleSearch #Innovation #Gemini2.0 #DigitalMarketing #Search #AIOverviews

    🚀 Google's future AI Mode in its Gemini Live app indicates the multimodal shift of the AI market. We recently witnessed this with BrightEdge Generative Parser™, visual formats, and YouTube videos. I enjoyed sharing more with MediaPost below   🎯 New potential capabilities include a microphone button for voice input, while you can take a picture or add an existing one, and will be available in 40 languages   🔄 With visual capabilities already existing in Google Lens, the addition of voice will complete a triage of voice, visual, and video capabilities.   As Laurie Sullivan writes, there have been dramatic shifts in how AI reacts to holiday shopping surges. This includes visual content and a 52.5% increase in advanced product views. 📊   •  At BrightEdge, we have seen a surge in YouTube video experimental in Google AIO Overviews as they look to stabilize their presence.  • As multi-model AI improves, we see Google utilizing it more to better serve content and make shopping experiences more shoppable.🛍️   ⚠️ At the moment, AI mode and its voice capability are only available on Google Pixel phones and via the Play Store. The trade-off - the 5-year data retention policy raises important privacy considerations.   📱 Let’s not forget Apple is incorporating OpenAI's ChatGPT into its voice assistant, Siri. In addition, Gemini’s early models are available on the #iphone- stay tuned for more?   I would love to hear your thoughts on this. 💭 #AI #GoogleGemini #MultimodalAI #GoogleAI #VoiceAI #VisualAI #AIOverviews  #GoogleLens #AIMode #ChatGPT #Siri

    💰 It's that time of year when revenue is firmly on the CFOs radar. On average, the holiday season drives 19% of total annual sales for retailers. My question is, as AI experiences evolve, what happens after…   The holiday rush isn't just about clicking "buy" anymore. From #mobile browsing to #local #social and #in-store experiences, consumers are hunting for the 'perfect gift' across all channels.🛍️   🚀 But the real transformation is happening through AI.   ·        AI is fundamentally reshaping the way people shop. ·        They are also shopping for that 'perfect experience.'   Over on the Forbes #CFO network: As part of a great article on "Who will win the holidays," I share some additional insights on the transformation of AI-led shopping experiences.   ✨Insights on the winners?   ·        Brands that go beyond basic product listings. ·        Marketing teams that build comprehensive buying guides and intelligent recommendations and provide a seamless multimedia experience.   🌟 Success isn't just about having the lowest price; it's about creating an #omnichannel ecosystem of valuable information that guides shoppers to make confident decisions.   The future of retail and ecommerce isn't just about the best price - it's' about creating the best #shoppingexperience.🔮   💭 I would love to hear your thoughts on how AI will reshape how people shop.   https://lnkd.in/g4wsN9QJ   #RetailInnovation #EcommerceStrategy #HolidayShopping #Sales #Revenue #ForbesCFO

    🔥Great to be featured in Forbes CEO today and share advice on what search and AI evolution means for business leaders. Below are a few pointers, particularly as Ecommerce brands power through #CyberMonday.   Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Megan Poinski on the #ForbesCEO network.   💬 We covered quite a lot in a short time, but below is a brief recap of the main topics we discussed.💡   •  Google's recent AI-powered changes to its shopping search results🔮 •  New data from BrightEdge Generative Parser ™ on #Ecommerce and the holidays •  The multimodal shift from text-based LLMs to voice, visual, and #video models •  Why YouTube will transform and offer richer shopping experiences 📦 🛍️ •  Where organizational leaders should focus their #marketing attention right now   🎯 For the #CEO and #CMO alike, the bigger picture.   1. The convergence of #search and #AI isn't just a technological shift—it's part of a decade-long transformation that has fundamentally changed how brands connect with their customers. 🤝 2. If Google is important to your business, understanding and adapting to how search and AI work together will be the critical factor that determines your brand and your bottom line (revenue) success.   3. Marketing is at a pivotal moment. This is a moment where every organizational leader needs to understand the AI and search landscape at a level of detail many may not be used to.   ✨ Going forward, I believe there is an imminent need for a deeper organizational and cross-functional understanding of how search and AI are evolving now - and for tomorrow's future.   You can read the full article below   https://lnkd.in/g2sUikgP   💭 I would love your thoughts and additional input!   #SearchEvolution #DigitalTransformation #MarketingLeadership #MultimodalAI #AIOverviews #Google

    Operating a website in the AI Overviews era of search can feel like running a hotel in a desert. But your 'AI footprint' is still important, according to Jim Yu of BrightEdge: “Even if you don’t get the direct click-through from the initial impression, there’s a lot more interaction and impressions.” Perhaps a little hope for parched publishers? https://lnkd.in/ecSDCQ5D #AIsearch #SEO
