You know ever EVERYONE is all of a sudden talking about the importance of being a HUMAN in the new AI age. Well, did you know I actually spoke about Humanizing Your Brand back in 2021 at Traffic and Conversion? Not only did we have The AI Content Club back before ChatGPT… we were focused on the importance of prioritizing HUMANS.
We dug into the tools and strategies that are helping businesses not just survive but thrive, and at the center of it all is AI done the right way.
Here’s a look at how AI can completely shift the way you run your business while keeping real human connection at the heart of it.
Why AI is Essential for Your Business
If you’ve been side-eyeing AI, wondering if it’s just a trend… consider this your wake-up call.
Businesses using AI in their marketing are seeing huge returns, especially with hyper-personalized experiences that can boost customer retention by as much as 35%.
And here’s the thing, AI isn’t just about doing things faster.
When used well, it gives you more time to focus on human connection.
It can:
- Streamline customer service with chatbots and automations
- Save hours on repetitive tasks
- Personalize the journey for each customer in a way that feels natural and real
Think of AI as your behind-the-scenes team member that handles the busywork so you can show up where it really counts.
The SHINE Method: Crafting Your Unique Market Presence
I shared my SHINE Method at NAMM, and it’s how we help businesses cut through the noise online.
Here’s how it works:
- Stand Out with Your Unique Value
What makes you the go-to solution? Identify the exact problem you solve and why your approach is different. - Humanize Your Content
Short-form video is gold right now, with 73% of consumers preferring it. AI tools like PIKA Labs or Story AI can help you create videos that are fun, authentic, and scroll-stopping. - Innovate with AI and Automation
Let AI take care of the repetitive stuff like FAQs, follow-up emails, or initial customer inquiries, so you can focus on the work that lights you - Nurture Connections and Partnerships
Relationships are everything. AI can help you deliver personalized marketing at scale so your people feel seen and valued. - Engage with Community Building
Your audience doesn’t just want to consume content, they want to connect. Use AI insights to create content that sparks conversation and builds true loyalty.
The Evergreen Engine: Consistent Content for Lasting Impact
One of the biggest struggles I hear from business owners is keeping up with content.
Enter: evergreen content.
This is the kind of content that works for you long after you hit publish, and AI can help you create it faster than ever.
With the right tools, you can:
- Create non-seasonal content that’s always relevant
- Repurpose it across multiple platforms
- Keep traffic flowing without burning yourself out
AI Agents and Automations: The Future of Customer Interaction
Here’s one of my favorite shifts happening right now: AI agents and automation are changing how we interact with customers.
Imagine having:
- Social media scheduling that runs itself
- Automated lead nurturing that feels personal
- A seamless brand experience happening 24/7, even while you sleep
That’s the power of setting up your AI systems the right way.
Final Thoughts
Here’s what I want you to take away from all this: AI is your partner, not your replacement.
Your story, your voice, your human connection, that’s what makes your business unforgettable.
AI just gives you the freedom to show up more fully without the constant grind.
