Our stream of consciousness

The ROI of knowing your audience

Who’s out there?
Where are they?
What do they need?
What do they want?
Who should you really be targeting?

Research-based personas — detailed, data-grounded profiles of your target customers built on qualitative and quantitative research — help you answer those questions and more. Carefully crafted personas help you target and reach the right people where they prefer to consume media and show them exactly what you’ve got to offer.

Structuring & writing content for AI

Retrieval is like securing a job interview. It gets your content in the room, but it doesn’t guarantee selection. Structure is what determines whether your content gets “the job,” that is, whether it’s deemed “useful” enough to be included in a response.

Optimizing content for AI retrieval

Most content never makes it into an AI-generated answer. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s never found in the first place. Before an AI system can use your content in a response, it must retrieve it. If you don’t win the retrieval battle, your content never even makes it onto the field.
