How to Overcome the “AI Answer” in 2025 — Real Talk for Modern Marketers

1. Define the Problem: What Is the “AI Answer”?

  • Audit 10 recent posts: highlight lines that “could be from any brand.” Rewrite them in your voice.
  • Create a “ban list” of clichés your brand won’t use.
  • Create a “ban list” of clichés your brand won’t use.

2. Talk Like a Human, Not a Headline

  • Share what really happened—wins and misses.
  • Replace listicles with narratives: “How we cut Instagram CPL by 48% without changing ad copy.”
  • Share what really happened—wins and misses.
  • Replace listicles with narratives: “How we cut Instagram CPL by 48% without changing ad copy.”
  • Write to one person (your ICP) and keep spoken-style sentences.

3. Use AI as a Jumpstart, Not a Crutch

  • Use AI for outlines, angle lists, and counter-arguments.
  • Always do a “human pass” for POV, tension, and one spicy line.
  • Lock a “no-AI finalization” rule for customer-facing copy.

4. Back It Up with Real Campaign Data

  • Share before vs after stats and the 1–2 levers that moved them.
  • Blur sensitive fields; never share PII.
  • Includecontext: channel, audience, spend range, timeframe.

5. Make It Uncopyable (Your POV + People)

  • Insert “Agency POV” callouts: what you believe and what you reject.
  • Add team quotes or mini-interviews (“What surprised us in this sprint”).
  • Document behind-the-scenes: test plans, kill lists, decision trees.
