In this webinar, we break down the massive shift happening in marketing as AI reshapes how customers search, discover, and ultimately choose who to buy from. We explore how traditional search behaviors are evolving, why platforms like AI assistants are becoming the new front door to your business, and what that means for both B2C and B2B brands trying to stay competitive. From rising ad costs to changing user behavior, this session unpacks what’s actually happening right now—and why waiting to adapt could put you behind. We also dive into what you should be doing about it, covering the role of generative engine optimization (GEO), the continued importance of SEO, and how content, ads, and social strategies are shifting in 2026. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of where to focus your efforts—from creating higher-intent visibility in AI to leveraging video, platform-specific content, and emerging ad opportunities—so you can stay ahead, capture demand earlier, and turn these changes into a competitive advantage.
