Description
When All the Content is Synthetic: The Trust Portfolio with Joe Pulizzi
This webinar is offered in partnership with AMA Iowa
For nearly two decades, marketers have built trust the same way: pick a focus, commit to a platform, publish consistently, and wait. That model still works. The problem is time.
As generative AI floods the internet with low-cost, machine-created content, the window to build an audience that knows, likes, and trusts you is rapidly closing. Attention is increasingly mediated by AI systems that summarize, synthesize, and recommend. In that world, producing “more content” is no longer a viable strategy.
In this session, Joe Pulizzi introduces The Trust Portfolio, a new framework for marketing teams to build credibility faster by diversifying trust across people, not just channels. You’ll learn why brand-led audience building has become a high-risk bet, how organizations can activate trusted employees as strategic trust signals, and what guardrails are required to make this work at scale.
When content is infinite, trust is scarce. This session shows how to build it before the window closes.
Key Takeaways:
- Find your tilt before someone else defines you.
- Become known for something specific.
- Build trust before you need it.
