The Death of Perfect Content

A Sprout Social finding states that 77% of consumers engage more with content that feels genuine and relatable than with polished content (source). The whole point of your content is to connect with your audience, right? So, when it feels too polished, too AI-generated, those people you’re hoping to engage… they run their thumb so fast across their phone that even Sha'Carri Richardson couldn't catch it. In this episode, Gina & Lawrence explore ‘anti marketing marketing’ as a direct response to audience fatigue with content that's AI-manufactured & emotionally empty. They talk about why AI-generated sameness is wearing people out, why an uhm or a shaky handheld shot can build more trust than a perfect take, & why wellness brands especially can't fake the “felt” part of what they offer. If you've rolled your eyes at yet another ChatGPT-made graphic & thought, 'not this again,' this episode is for you & so is what's coming next in marketing. What you'll hear in this episode: People aren't rejecting AI itself; they're rejecting the sameness it produces The trust cost of overproduced content How the definition of “quality” content is shifting from production value to authenticity Why video & a founder's specific, human quirks are becoming the real differentiator Treating content like a craft instead of a machine output A Few Things to Reflect On: How do you use AI inside your content process & where can you pull back? What's the one quirk about you or your brand that couldn't be copied by an AI or a competitor? What’s a piece of content that you resonated with lately that wasn’t ‘perfect’ but it hit?
