Consumer trust is at an all-time low. In 2024, 71% of surveyed global consumers said they trust companies less than they did a year ago. Misleading ads alone cause 35% to lose trust in a brand and 25% to stop buying from it entirely.

The lesson is clear: every misstep, from tone-deaf campaigns to half-truths, now plays out on a national stage. Distrust is the default. Yet brands that lead with transparency, align with communities, and show up consistently still have a path to rebuild credibility. Real conversations and real accountability matter more than polished campaigns.

Our latest blog explores how brands can earn back trust in the age of skepticism, with practical takeaways on community-first marketing, cultural alignment, and transparency. Read Marketing in the Age of Distrust here

With the right location intelligence, brands can see far beyond their own front door. Using Placer AI data, we helped Electric Pickle uncover insights that drive smarter decisions, like:

• Visitors came from 24 states, with the majority traveling from over 50 miles away
• High overlap with nearby hotels, entertainment venues, and restaurants
• Audience profiles that guide targeted marketing and strategic partnerships

When you know exactly who’s walking through your doors (and why), you can create experiences that keep them coming back.

SEO is not dead, and AI is not a silver bullet, but together they can supercharge your pipeline.

With Google’s AI Overviews upending the SERP this summer, we dug into the real numbers behind AI Optimization (AIO) versus classic SEO to see which actually drives growth. Spoiler: the smartest brands use both.

Inside our new blog you will learn:
• Why AI-optimized campaigns lifted conversions up to 52 percent in recent HubSpot and IBM studies
• How moving up just one Google position still bumps click-throughs by 2.8 percent, proving SEO is very much alive
• The three pillars every modern strategy needs: brand presence, authoritative links, crystal-clear structure
• Practical steps for weaving AIO into proven SEO workflows so your content wins with both humans and algorithms

Curious whether your current content stands a chance in an AI-first search world? We break it all down in plain English, with data you can share in your next leadership meeting.

Read the Blog, then let us know which pillar you will tackle first.

In our latest blog, (human)x explores the rise of deep research AI—what it can do for marketing teams, and where it still falls short. Because while machines can handle the data, humans bring the context, ethics, and strategy that turn insights into impact.
