Ruheene brings a novel mix of artistic imaginative and prescient and technical experience to assist companies rework their branding by AI.
Hey, Ruheene, welcome to the present.
[00:02:48] Ruheene Jaura: Hey, Mike. Thanks a lot for having me. I’m actually excited to be right here.[00:02:51] Mike Allton: So glad to have you ever. Let’s begin for those who may by simply type of strolling us by your journey from visible results, which is tremendous cool, by the best way, to AI powered advertising.
How did that distinctive background affect your method to branding?
[00:03:05] Ruheene Jaura: You already know, it’s all about storytelling. I feel everyone knows that whether or not we’re entrepreneurs or not, all of us have a private story. And after we develop into enterprise house owners and begin advertising what our presents. It’s actually all about now our buyer’s story and the way our services and products slot in with their story So it’s actually on the finish of the day all about storytelling And for those who’re not telling a narrative along with your services and products You then’re lacking out on an enormous market as a result of that’s actually what individuals need to see is a narrative they usually need to see themselves in that story.
So truly even earlier than visible results and Marvel I used to be, I used to be doing structure. So I went to undergrad for structure and it actually, the entire storytelling factor, consider it or not, began with structure as a result of I noticed that whenever you’re designing issues areas, bodily areas for individuals. It’s all in regards to the tales which can be going to be lived and skilled in these areas. And so my mind simply robotically began pondering when it comes to tales proper from my structure days. After which once I went into visible results and I began working with with, , firms like Marvel Avengers and all the larger greater productions.
I actually began to see that come to life. I imply, though, , we went from bodily areas to now Marvel motion pictures, that are two completely various things. The one fixed that that stayed the identical is the truth that individuals can see themselves in that story. So when any person likes an architectural area or a house, for instance, whenever you’re seeking to purchase a house, it’s actually whenever you’re strolling by the house, you consider the way you’re going to create tales in every area in every a part of the house.
And that’s what involves life in your mind. And also you determine whether or not you need to dwell there or not, whether or not you need to purchase the house or not. And once more, whenever you’re watching a film, you you ask your self whether or not it’s a superhero film or a documentary. It’s actually about, do you see one thing about your self in that story that makes you need to watch it by the tip or not?
So I don’t know if that answered the query or, or if you wish to, yeah.
[00:05:09] Mike Allton: Properly, yeah. So, so, so take it additional than that. So the subsequent step is you began to delve into AI. Yeah. I used delve in particular person on objective, however inform me how you bought into AI.[00:05:20] Ruheene Jaura: So after engaged on visible results I actually began to get in that’s once I began stepping into advertising as a result of whereas I used to be doing visible results and in between initiatives I began engaged on You already know, advertising spots for firms like Apple, Motorola, Radio Shack again within the day Amazon. So I used to be on a number of their product launches as a part of the advertising crew.
And that’s how I obtained into advertising. And once more, the storytelling half is simply stayed by these, these years. However AI, , when, I’ve all the time used AI instruments. I’m all the time in search of instruments, whether or not they’re AI or not, to assist make my work simpler, assist me be extra environment friendly. And so when OpenAI got here up with their API and made AI so accessible to everybody, I made a decision at that time to take the entire frameworks and the learnings that I had by my 16 years of labor expertise in movie and in advertising and actually mix these into a simple to make use of software utilizing AI that might assist put that 16 years of expertise into enterprise house owners and entrepreneurs fingers that possibly don’t have that type of expertise and are in search of slightly little bit of assist.
[00:06:30] Mike Allton: Love that. I imply, because the Chief Storyteller at Agorapulse, most of you listening, know that’s, that’s the place I name residence for my full time job. I actually simply spent the afternoon immediately earlier than becoming a member of you, Ruheene, on this recording, crafting our Agorapulse model story and our storytelling tips, as a result of there’s so many individuals within the group which can be a part of the storytelling strategy of our model.
It’s not simply entrepreneurs, it’s gross sales crew members, it’s not simply. buyer help crew members, it’s engineers as a result of to your level, proper? They’re crafting a product that our buyer tales are going to be informed inside that product. And so I used to be spending a number of time pondering by what ought to our story tips be a storytelling tips and what makes for a very good story.
And all through that complete course of, hand in hand, AI to assist me flip that right into a narrative and method that the remainder of our crew may use. However I need to focus for a second on among the small companies that you simply’ve been working with from that advertising perspective, from that model perspective, what do you see among the greatest challenges are that they’re going through, significantly with regards to constructing and growing their very own model technique?
[00:07:40] Ruheene Jaura: I feel the largest downside is that almost all entrepreneurs newer entrepreneurs and small enterprise house owners who’re making an attempt to market themselves due to a low price range they’re actually, they’re struggling to grasp tips on how to develop their enterprise from only a enterprise right into a model. And so a number of of us will suppose once they consider branding, they consider colours and fonts and, , all of the issues that make their, their pages, their internet pages and their social media posts fairly.
However I feel there are only a few individuals who truly perceive {that a} model is a lot greater than that. Sure, the colours and the fonts feed into it, nevertheless it’s actually the, Why they feed into it, proper? So the rationale these colours and fonts are essential are due to the emotion and the expertise that you simply’re invoking in your viewers.
And so what’s it that they’re feeling once they come throughout your model? And so whether or not you, , whether or not it’s intentional or not, whether or not you’ve constructed a model deliberately or not, you may have a model, proper? And when it’s not intentional and all you’re specializing in are the beautiful stuff, the colours and the fonts you may be lacking the general expertise that your viewers is having along with your model. So it’s actually about once more again to storytelling, proper? So what’s their story and the way do you slot in with that story? so I all the time say that it’s the model narrative is absolutely your buyer’s narrative And the way you slot in because the professional in that story and that’s the way you place your self.
So I all the time discuss how branding goes hand in hand with positioning. It’s the way you’re positioning your self out there and the way you’re becoming in along with your clients narrative.
[00:09:14] Mike Allton: I’m so glad you introduced up the Why, as a result of that’s so essential. That’s why I used to be speaking a few second in the past, how I spent all the afternoon growing the Agorapulse model story, as a result of that’s our Why.
Why will we do what we do and why will we do how we do it? In different phrases, , we’re doing issues a sure manner. Why are we doing it that manner? Proper. We’re serving to our clients with social media. Yeah. Lets say why we’re doing that, however the best way that we assist clients with their social media administration is totally different from different individuals.
And there’s a purpose for that. There’s a why behind that. And we needed to ensure that that was articulated in a manner that everyone within the group would know, after which have the ability to infuse into every little thing that they’re doing. So whenever you’re speaking to clients, small companies, medium sized companies, whomever, they usually’re making an attempt to determine.
You already know, their model technique, their model story. How do you see AI expertise coming in to assist them with these sorts of challenges and type of virtually democratizing that entry to skilled stage branding?
[00:10:17] Ruheene Jaura: Yeah. So this once more goes again to my days engaged on the product launches that I discussed earlier specifically Apple and Amazon.
And I like telling the story However, , there’s a lot to be discovered from the best way Apple positions itself and its merchandise and the best way Amazon does it. And we each know they’re each superb firms. They’ve each accomplished so effectively for themselves, however everyone knows that Apple has constructed this like loopy fan following, proper?
And it’s all as a result of they’re all about model led advertising. We’ve all heard of product led advertising, however I don’t suppose sufficient of us are speaking about model led advertising. So the best way Apple has been in a position to create this model. Now, Amazon has a model they usually have a really robust model for positive. However for those who take a look at Amazon’s launches, every of their product launches have been very product led and there’s a number of energy in that, however actually, it comes right down to model loyalty. Proper? And the rationale I say that’s as a result of somebody like Apple, everyone knows that they’ve launched merchandise through the years. A few of them have been superb. And a few of them have been Proper.
Like I’m an Apple fan, so don’t, don’t come at me for saying that, however I take advantage of a number of Apple merchandise. However let’s be trustworthy. Like for those who evaluate what Apple has launched through the years, particularly after Steve Jobs was gone what they’ve launched through the years has been. Fairly crappy in comparison with among the Android stuff that’s been popping out in parallel, proper?
The Android merchandise and the Samsung merchandise that come out, for those who’re actually speaking about expertise and futuristic, options, the Samsung merchandise even have higher options and extra consumer pleasant options than Apple has, has had over the previous few years, however the purpose why individuals who use Apple, together with me, won’t transfer away to a different product that could be higher or superior is as a result of we have now model loyalty.
And in order that comes with a number of forgiveness when there are product launches that possibly aren’t so nice. Alternatively, when Amazon launches merchandise, it’s on a product foundation, proper? In the event that they launch a product that sucks, no person’s going to purchase it. Not like Apple, once they launch a product that sucks, their fanboys are nonetheless going to purchase it.
Fanboys and fangirls. And all of it comes down to essentially understanding the way you’re advertising your self. If you happen to’re advertising simply your services and products, once more, you’re on the threat of, sure, when you’ve got a powerful services or products, that’s going to be nice. It’s going to work out nice so long as you’re doing the best factor product led advertising method, however on the core of it, you actually need to take into consideration tips on how to construct a powerful model, as a result of for those who launch a number of presents or services or products through the years simply know that for those who’ve constructed a powerful model on the core of it you may have a number of forgiveness and people launches once they don’t go so effectively.
So all that being mentioned, now we’re speaking about Apple and Amazon and never all of us have the sorts of budgets that they’ve, proper. To construct that robust model. And so. That’s the place AI is available in, as a result of whenever you feed the best context and frameworks into AI, now AI is aware of tips on how to model, tips on how to type of mimic a few of these extra fashionable manufacturers, like Apple, Nike, Lululemon, for those who’ve heard of that.
So these sorts of manufacturers, even once they don’t have one of the best product, Nike has all the time had a very good product, I feel. However like Lululemon, for those who’re, for those who’re conversant in that, that’s like a clothes model, proper? Their high quality sucks. However Right here I’m sitting in all lululemon as a result of that’s what I once more, it’s a model factor.
And, and I pay prime greenback for it, however once more, it’s the entire model. And I’m positive we have now viewers proper now. And my husband is one in every of them. Who’s all the time like, why do you pay a lot cash for a model? That’s silly. Purchase a greater high quality product. That’s truly going to final you longer. And, and yeah so as to add context to that. He’s an Android consumer. However you see the place what I’m saying as a enterprise, no matter whether or not you agree with that method or not, you’re setting your self up for fulfillment in the long term. If you happen to’re coming from a model led method. Now to your query of, , how does A. I assist type of democratize that method?
Beforehand You needed to have a giant advertising crew otherwise you needed to spend fairly a bit of cash simply to provide you with a powerful model. Now what I imply by a powerful model is once more, not simply the colours and the fonts. These are positively a part of it, however actually your model narrative, the way you’re positioning your model out there the way you’re connecting along with your perfect clients. All of that feeds into your model.
And so whenever you consider it extra holistically like that, and also you ask for AI’s assist in serving to you create that model, after which from there, each piece of content material that you simply create. So we had been speaking about social media, however actually it’s whether or not it’s social media or a video script for YouTube or a weblog put up or a gross sales web page, when every little thing feeds off of that core model, like Apple does, you begin to see that It type of types this expertise to your customers that they may hold wanting to return again to as a result of they know what to anticipate, even when a services or products isn’t one of the best one on the market isn’t one of the best in the marketplace, they nonetheless need to keep along with your model ecosphere due to that model loyalty.
[00:15:11] Mike Allton: Okay. To begin with, you’ve simply given us a masterclass on, on advertising technique. People return and re hearken to this previous phase a pair extra instances and actually take into consideration what Ruheene simply mentioned, as a result of every little thing you mentioned is totally appropriate. And I’ll ask you listeners, indulge me for a second, take into consideration Apple and provide you with some adjectives that describe Apple as a model in your thoughts, and do this for 30 seconds, after which attempt to try this for Amazon.
And I feel you’ll battle. I feel you’ll battle fairly a bit to provide you with any actually attention-grabbing adjectives, , apart from possibly two day supply. We don’t even know if that’s an adjective, proper? There’s issues that you can affiliate with that model, however not adjectives in regards to the model. And that’s the distinction between model led.
And, and to your level, like I’ve already referenced a few instances, I spent hours this afternoon engaged on the Agorapulse model story and storytelling tips. And this was truly simply the end result of most likely a 3 month challenge. I took on the function in, in the summertime of this yr. And that’s been one of many issues I wanted to do as a result of we didn’t have an recognized or documented model story.
We had, to your level, model voice tips. Colour emblem, some bit about how we talk, proper? However nothing actually in depth documented. And so I needed to undergo a complete strategy of defining, , what’s a model story? What frameworks are we going to make use of? Trigger there’s a number of choices, , to provide you with, , there’s, there’s story model, there’s Tamsin Webster’s pink thread, which is in the end what we ended up utilizing.
And there’s fairly a couple of others. That was one thing that actually I used to be paid full time. As an train to suppose by that based mostly on my decade plus of promoting expertise. And to your level, now AI comes alongside and simplifies this and it could not essentially be, , McKinsey and firm stage consulting high quality, nevertheless it’s nice.
It’s actually, actually good. No matter AI goes to provide you with and the extra you’re in a position to put into it, the extra you’re going to have the ability to get out. And I’d prefer to type of go on slightly tangent right here for a second, as a result of I do know a number of what we’re speaking about is what your software does for people. And I’d love so that you can share slightly bit extra about what heyLevi does and the way that works for manufacturers.
[00:17:29] Ruheene Jaura: Yeah. SheyLevivi truly does a number of what we had been speaking about. And simply earlier than I overlook, Mike, one factor that you simply simply touched upon is the model voice, proper? And even that’s extra than simply fonts and colours. It’s actually in regards to the tone of voice, like your writing model, your model, the vitality you may have in your writing and in your content material that additionally must say cohesive. That’s additionally part of your model. And so a number of that’s what heyLevi does, proper? It acknowledges and it tries to grasp your distinctive model voice and your model narrative, your buyer avatars each on a model stage after which on a product and repair stage, proper?
That are extra dialed in. And Yeah. Understands that not simply when it comes to like whenever you when you consider buyer avatars, proper? Like inform me, truly, Mike, I’m going to place this query on you. What do you consider whenever you consider buyer avatars? Like what do you count on to see on a buyer avatar card?
[00:18:18] Mike Allton: I’m in search of titles. I’m in search of demographics for my graphics. I’m in search of an understanding of who inside a particular group and what that group appears to be like like. The model, whether or not it’s my very own or any person I’m working with. They’re making an attempt to focus on, proper? So what verticals, , how massive an organization, what sort of firm and who inside that firm, after which past that, that firmographic data, resembling, , what do they need, what are they in search of, what are they making an attempt to perform, the place are they struggling, , what challenges are they going through that the model could or could not have enter in an answer for[00:18:53] Ruheene Jaura: Nice.
So to summarize that, would you say that you simply’re actually occupied with demographics and ache factors, however what about resolution making drivers? What about their internal beliefs, their internal philosophical beliefs and their internal, like, tales that they’re telling themselves, their internal dialogue that they’re speaking about inside their heads.
How are we tapping into that?
[00:19:18] Mike Allton: Yeah, and that’s the type of factor that I might say is often lacking from, , if a enterprise has a persona or an ICP in any respect. They most likely don’t have that.[00:19:28] Ruheene Jaura: Precisely. Yeah. And in order that’s the hole that we work on, on filling. So we enable you go like actually, actually deep into your buyer avatars, proper?
So not simply demographics and ache factors. These are nice. And people are crucial. Don’t get me incorrect. Completely crucial. However until you’re additionally understanding who they’re on a deeper stage, what their philosophical beliefs are, what their social desires and wishes are how they suppose emotionally, we’re all emotional beings.
And I feel we’ve all heard this, proper? We’re all emotional beings. And , whenever you promote, you need to promote to the emotional a part of a human being, however that’s the place all the demographics and ache factors fall brief since you’re not truly addressing their emotional wants. So whenever you begin to think about your buyer avatars as like holistic human beings which have flaws identical to we do, which have emotional wants that normally trump our logical and needs and wishes, what we predict we wish is normally not what we wish.
After we go right into a retailer to purchase one thing, why is it that 9 instances out of 10, we normally purchase one thing else? We don’t purchase what we walked in there for, proper? Whether or not we truly purchase the factor that we walked in for, However a distinct model that we had in thoughts or a very totally different factor. Or that factor plus 5 different issues.
Like there’s a purpose why we do this, proper? We inform ourselves we’re solely going to spend this a lot. This isn’t my price range immediately. After which we go and persuade ourselves that no, that is actually going to alter my life for me. And so I’m additionally going to buy this. So all of that comes right down to in case you are, , for those who’ve ever discovered your self making an attempt to supply a reduction as a way to shut a sale.
And I’m not speaking about seasonal reductions, proper? These are nice. However I’m speaking about for those who’ve ever been on a gross sales name and any person has been like, Oh, however I can do, I can get the identical factor someplace else for like 100 {dollars}. a cheaper price and you are feeling such as you really feel the necessity to worth match as a way to shut that sale.
That simply signifies that you haven’t actually understood their desires and wishes on that emotional foundation, proper? As a result of all of us are keen to pay extra money, though we don’t prefer to admit it. All of us are keen to pay extra money for one thing that we emotionally consider will give us extra satisfaction than we are going to spend on one thing that we all know is a necessity.
And that’s going to unravel a ache level for us, if that is sensible.
[00:21:42] Mike Allton: It makes full sense as a result of it’s one hundred pc true. I don’t know if these of you listening know sufficient about my historical past. I used to promote swimming swimming pools and scorching tubs, and this was a very long time in the past. That is about 10 years in the past, however I used to promote swimming swimming pools in Northern Ohio.
And the factor is, individuals wouldn’t are available to, our warehouse to purchase a pool, they weren’t really within the width of the pool wall or how excessive it was or what number of horsepower went into the filtration system. They had been shopping for a yard expertise, and if it was a household, proper, they had been additionally shopping for issues like security for his or her Kids, .
You already know, having the ability to have experiences at residence, quite than having to waste time, taking them to other forms of swimming pools, proper? There have been all these values that went into the play. And the second I understood that and was in a position to replicate that and talk that in my verbal, , gross sales that was the second I turned the primary salesperson in all the group, proper?
As a result of then I’m speaking to those clients about what they actually need to accomplish and never losing time speaking about minutiae, like, , That don’t actually matter, proper? It’s, it’s, it’s options versus advantages in a number of methods. In order that’s superb. And let me ensure that myself and everyone listening understands appropriately.
So with heyLevi, there’s, I’m assuming some type of a course of the place I feed it details about my enterprise and that it helps me to develop this actually thorough goal persona. Is that proper?
[00:23:15] Ruheene Jaura: Sure. And so that you begin, the entire app is once more, centered round your distinctive model. So that you inform it 4 items of knowledge that are, what do you do to your viewers?
What do you stand in opposition to? So actually like what, , you all the time need to juxtapose, haven’t used that phrase in like years. I really feel like, uh, you need to actually evaluate what you do versus what you stand in opposition to. What are you actually good at versus what your opponents are doing, proper? And so it’s actually understanding that.
What do you do? What do you stand in opposition to? What do you do this no person else is doing? And what’s that core factor that folks that, that you simply do this they’re not going to get wherever else. So as soon as you may reply these questions clearly, I imply, that’s the half that we’re counting on you to really find out about your enterprise and most of us do.
Proper. It’s, it’s placing these into phrases and really pulling that into all of our content material that we hit upon. However so long as you can provide the AI these items of knowledge, it can create a complete model narrative for you. So it can determine who your model buyer avatar is. Once more, this isn’t as dialed in as your product stage, as a result of we’re not at a gross sales stage but, proper?
So your merchandise and presents, consider these as issues that you simply’re going to promote. So your model shouldn’t be one thing you’re promoting. That’s the expertise that we’re constructing, proper? That’s the core of who we’re. So at that stage, your buyer avatar is that this broader buyer avatar. We’re nonetheless speaking about there, we’re not speaking about resolution making drivers as a result of we’re not making an attempt to get them to buy something simply but. However we are attempting to grasp them when it comes to social, emotional, and philosophical beings, even on the model stage. So what it does for you is it helps you determine that it helps you determine what their story is Together with ache factors, however actually what their total story is and the way you as a model would place your self in that story. The place do you are available because the professional?
And the way you’re going to cause them to success or that final purpose that they’re in search of. Now everyone knows a very good story all the time comes with the concern of what could occur if issues don’t go as deliberate. So that every one, that’s additionally one thing you all the time need to embody in your model narrative. You already know, if, for those who work with us, for instance, that is the journey that may lead you thru, however for those who don’t take motion immediately, that is what might be in danger.
So it helps you dial in all of that and your, your colours and your fonts and all of that as effectively. So it helps you construct all of that. That then will get saved as your model messaging playbook in your heyLevi account. So that you all the time have that to reference everytime you’re creating any, any piece of content material from there.
In terms of gross sales, now you’d create a extra detailed product stage. Which once more applies as to if you’re promoting a services or products. It’s actually your provide. We’re simply utilizing product slightly loosely. However it’s actually any provide that you simply provide. It’s about what makes you totally different, the way you evaluate along with your opponents, how your clients are perceiving that worth distinction between what you provide them versus your opponents.
And for those who’re listening intently to this, you may be Begin to see how this will additionally assist your gross sales calls or gross sales conversations. As a result of whenever you’re making an attempt to have that gross sales dialog, whenever you’re on a gross sales name and any person says, effectively, so and so is giving me the identical factor for like half the worth.
One factor to notice is that they’re there with you for a purpose. So simply because they’re saying that isn’t a clue so that you can decrease your worth or worth match. However so long as you’re clear about what that in comparison with presents and the way you’re That’s the time whenever you need to current that data. And whenever you do this, you’re serving to that buyer see themselves in your story and vice versa, proper?
That you just’re additionally serving to them see how you’d match into their story. After which worth doesn’t matter.
[00:26:54] Mike Allton: I find it irresistible. And , I like that you simply’re working in, , NLP triggers like, effectively, what occurs for those who don’t? That’s unbelievable of us. We’re speaking with Ruheene about constructing terrific model technique and documentation and placing that into place utilizing AI.
In a second, we’re going to speak about how these strategies in comparison with conventional approaches. However first let me share with you the software that I’m utilizing to arrange this podcast, assist me with newsletters. All of my different advertising and enterprise duties.
This episode of AI in Advertising and marketing Unpacked is dropped at you by Magai, your gateway to creating generative AI extremely easy and accessible.

Don’t simply market, market smarter with Magai. Faucet the hyperlink within the present notes.
So simply to attract a distinction between what you guys simply heard. Magai, the software that I’m utilizing on a regular basis and heyLevi, with Magai, you’re, you’re a wrapper for the opposite giant language fashions. It’s a clean canvas on which you’ll speak forwards and backwards with them.
And that kind of factor, as a way to create a advertising technique or a model technique or model story, you’d need to know what you’re doing. You continue to have to have the ability to ask the best questions and consider the responses and work with it forwards and backwards. So I used Magai and Claude to develop, , a number of Agorapulse’s documentation for his or her storytelling tips and so forth.
However I knew what I used to be doing. I used to be conscious of Tamsen Webster’s pink thread framework sufficient to Speak to the AI about that and say, Hey, look, I’d like to match story model with the pink thread and see what are the variations between these two frameworks. I do know I need to use a hero’s journey method with most of our storytelling, however I need to take a look at another choices, proper?
All that data was already baked into my head with hey Levi, you don’t must know all of that data to your level the place you’re simply going to reply these 4 questions. And which will require a number of thought. You would possibly must go to another crew members and give it some thought, which is, which is sweet.
It is best to put time and thought into these sorts of approaches and ensuring you’ve obtained the best data up entrance about who you might be, who you’re concentrating on, that kind of factor. However on the finish, you get this unbelievable playbook or collection of playbooks that you simply’re in a position to make use of. In order that’s one of many variations between an AI assisted method and type of a extra conventional method.
What are among the variations that you simply consider with regards to branding and it comes to love time, price and effectiveness with its AI versus conventional?
[00:30:12] Ruheene Jaura: I actually like what you simply mentioned about , having to know what frameworks you need to use to your use case versus not understanding. And I feel this ties into each, , smaller enterprise house owners who don’t actually know a lot about advertising or newer entrepreneurs, but in addition the extra skilled entrepreneurs as a result of as entrepreneurs, and I’ve been doing this once more for over 16 years at this level, however I’m You already know, I we have now over 60 frameworks.
I feel 70 frameworks at this level constructed into the app. Over 150 prompts constructed into the app, however that’s to not say that that’s an exhaustive record, proper? These frameworks are evolving continuously. They’re rising. They’re morphing into totally different frameworks. It’s actually maintaining with what’s working immediately as a result of what labored two years in the past, 5 years in the past will not be working immediately, or it may be.
And it’s actually being conscious of what’s working versus not working. And in order that’s among the heavy lifting that hey Levi takes off of you is it, , you’re not on the road to continuously be maintaining with , the most recent advertising technique or the most recent immediate approach and all of that stuff.
And, , I’m on this, I’m in a couple of AI teams on Fb and one thing that I noticed when 4. 0 got here out after which once more, 2 months after it got here out, which was only a few weeks in the past, truly They’re continuously evolving their fashions, proper? And to get slightly technical on you right here. They’re continuously making an attempt to save lots of individuals cash, proper?
And they also will persistently not simply optimize their fashions, however they’ll try to pointed to cheaper variations of their fashions, which Is sweet as a result of it’s saving you cash. However the half that sucks is that when you may have a immediate that’s working very well with one model, it could not translate. And normally 9 instances out of 10, truly it received’t translate.
After which, so individuals will come on and be like, Hey, I’ve these prompts that had been working nice in Chat GPT. Has anybody else observed that they’re not working anymore? And so actually what you want is, , you want this digital crew, until you may have a price range to rent an precise human crew to maintain up with not simply advertising frameworks, however immediate methods and all of this, proper.
If you’re utilizing AI and, and even when you’ve got the price range to rent this massive crew, they’re additionally utilizing instruments to maintain themselves more practical and extra environment friendly. So. By way of the playbooks that we had been speaking about, , when you construct out your model playbook, after getting all your product and provide playbooks let’s be trustworthy, I don’t find out about you, however for those who’ve ever created a playbook I don’t understand how usually you truly use it or take a look at it.
All of us, all of us like create playbooks with one of the best intentions, proper? They’re, they’ve a lot good data, however truly going by it and getting your complete crew on board with, , continuously that and being conscious of what it has and any updates that you simply make to it. That’s the place the problem is available in.
It’s very easy to make a very good playbook. However it’s actually onerous to a, hold these playbooks up to date after which be, have your complete crew and even your self. fully conversant in that playbook the place it’s like that, proper? It comes out in all each piece of content material that you simply create. And in order that’s additionally the half that heyLevi does for you.
It shops all your playbooks. It’s simply accessible. You don’t need to undergo an outdated Chat GPT dialog to see the place you gave a context about your buyer avatar to try to change it. You possibly can merely simply edit it identical to you’d in a Phrase doc, for instance. And it already has that context transferring ahead.
And at any time when it’s worthwhile to create any content material, you simply pull these playbooks in and it robotically has the entire context with out you having to remind it or tweak it on the spot.
[00:33:31] Mike Allton: That’s a very nice instance with The Social Media Hat and this podcast as a, as a solopreneur, proper? That is my aspect hustle.
I I’m leaning on these paperwork to assist me. And I’m leaning on these processes to assist me execute quicker and keep on model and message and so forth. However that’s additionally one in every of my fears, , with Agorapulse and different giant firms that I would work with, the place we do create all this nice data, whether or not it’s with AI or not, and we fear that it’s going to develop into shelfware.
Proper. A doc that’s simply placed on a shelf someplace and possibly they’ll take a look at it once more in 12 months. Like, Oh, wow. Yeah, we did all that again in 2023. Perhaps we must always do one thing once more with that. And so I like that that’s in-built now. And that’s a part of the method as a result of I used to be going to comment earlier as unbelievable as it’s to have these personas and people playbooks developed.
That’s only the start, proper? The following step is you assist your reader. Yeah. Customers use that data in each step of the best way when it comes to constructing a advertising technique within the numerous items of content material and duplicate that they’re going to need to create. However you talked about humanity a second in the past, and I needed to ask you about that, proper?
How will we ensure that humanity continues to be part of these processes and the way do you see that evolving as , AI turns into increasingly more prevalent as a part of branding and advertising?
[00:34:50] Ruheene Jaura: Yeah. I truly suppose that AI is right here to not exchange human creativity. I actually suppose it’s right here to assist us be higher and be extra artistic.
As a result of whenever you’re developing with something artistic, proper, whether or not you’re writing content material for your enterprise, otherwise you’re making an attempt to jot down a enterprise proposal, no matter it’s that you simply’re doing, there’s a there’s a it’s a mixture, proper? It’s a mixture of analysis, And understanding finest practices, understanding your enterprise’s positioning, what makes you particular.
And there’s the artistic a part of it which is the way you write all of that, the way you convey and talk all of that. And so whenever you use AI as a software to assist with extra of the logical facets, proper, which it’s nice at it can not mimic human emotion and human creativity simply but. However whenever you practice it in a manner the place it does 60 to 80 % of the be just right for you and then you definately are available along with your creativity, your particular sauce, if you’ll and add that to no matter AI is providing you with, that’s actually the half that, that makes the magic.
I’m not going to sit down right here and lie that, , it’s the AI that’s creating the magic for you. It’s simply, Let me put it this manner. I can both be like a process supervisor and I can get a number of stuff accomplished. If I’ve a guidelines, I can spend sooner or later and simply undergo my complete process record. However I can’t be artistic on the similar time as a result of they’re utilizing two separate elements of my mind.
And so the place you are available is the artistic a part of your mind must be relieved of all of the non artistic duties so that you could be extra artistic. So that you could you may deliver that particular sauce out in each piece of content material or writing that you simply do
[00:36:25] Mike Allton: love that. That’s that’s a mirrored image of, , one of many use instances I’ve talked about rather a lot on this present, which is the present itself.
I’ve obtained many podcasts with Agorapulse. I’ve obtained this podcast on the aspect. I used to spend two hours researching and getting ready for each single interview. And now that I’ve obtained a customized GPT and an assistant within the A. I to assist me as a showrunner. It’s 20 minutes as a substitute of two hours to arrange for every particular person episode, which frees me to seek out extra company, spend extra time speaking to them, spend extra time exploring the tales and the experience and so forth.
In order that’s unbelievable. I’d love for those who may share a hit story of one in every of your clients or companies that you simply’ve labored with and share how they’ve considerably improved Their very own model presence utilizing AI instruments.
[00:37:12] Ruheene Jaura: Truly, I’d like to share the story of heyLevi itself. I imply, we we launched our first model of our app two years in the past.
Truly precisely two years in the past now it was October, 2022. And we had been known as iGen. We had a very totally different identify, completely totally different model, actually no model. That was one in every of our, like, we’re simply going to construct a product and never deal with the model a lot. And so for a yr we tried to promote that.
And we, we had a fantastic, like, I might say. pilot program. We actually had been simply in search of 10 individuals to make use of it, give us suggestions. We truly ended up promoting 34 of these like what we had been calling pilot licenses, which had been actually low-cost. We ended up promoting 34 of these and 31 out of these 34 customers truly turned paying clients into the fuller model of the product when, after we launched that.
In order that was nice, however we couldn’t get previous that. Individuals who would are available and really use our product beloved it and they’d keep on. However it was actually making an attempt to get new individuals to attempt it. And so we struggled with that for for a very good a part of a yr. And it was solely in October 2023 now. So a yr in the past, we determined that we actually had been missing the, the model.
And so, You already know, that’s truly when heyLevi. heyLevi was only a content material era software initially. However I actually began to consider all of the issues that I’ve discovered over my 16 years of expertise, pondering I’ve not used any of that on this product. We had been simply a ache level of content material creation on frameworks, and we simply type of in-built these frameworks and content material creation and made a promptless model of this of an app of an AI app.
However we weren’t actually doing it justice by actually it coming from a model technique from a core model technique. And in order that’s after we took a step again and I used to be like, okay, so me and my enterprise companions, we had been truly up until 3am this one evening making an attempt to provide you with concepts. We had been like, how about we do that?
How about we do this? And it was at 3am and I’m so embarrassed to even say this. However it was at 3am once I realized like, We’ve constructed all of those frameworks already into the app. So let’s have iGen on the time. That’s what it was known as, proper? So we had been like, let’s simply have iGen rebrand itself, proper?
Rebrand and reposition itself. And in order that’s what we did. Like we, we obtained nowhere that evening. We had some nice concepts, however we discovered flaws in all of them. And so the subsequent morning I opened up the app and I simply had it rebrand itself. Reposition itself, provide you with a positioning technique for itself. And we adopted that complete technique to the T.
And inside that quarter, this was October, 2023. And by December, 2023, we had quadrupled our gross sales.
[00:39:42] Mike Allton: Wow. It’s humorous as a result of it’s virtually like a a web page out of the ebook Menagerie the place it was October 15, 2023 at 4 a. m. When iGen turned self conscious and rebranded itself, say Levi,
however I find it irresistible. That’s a unbelievable story. And to return to our earlier level of how essential it’s to have people within the loop. My final query to you is without doubt one of the ones that that Claude got here up with. And I all the time chortle when Claude desires me to ask this query as a result of a human wouldn’t ask it. Claude desires to know, wanting forward, how do you envision AI additional remodeling the panorama of name technique and advertising within the subsequent 5 10 years?
And the human in me laughs at that as a result of no person is aware of what’s taking place in AI in 5 10 years. We’re fortunate if we are able to predict 5 10 years. To 10 minutes, proper? I imply, issues are altering so quick on this explicit business, however the, the, the gist of the query is unbelievable. I’d love to finish with you sharing what you suppose is coming subsequent, whether or not it’s along with your challenge or the business total.
[00:40:49] Ruheene Jaura: I’ve been seeing this one factor about AI and I’m wondering if it’s nonetheless related. I really feel prefer it nonetheless is. And so I’m going to say it once more. However when AI was like nonetheless type of new a few yr, yr and a half in the past, there have been lots of people that had been very anti AI and there nonetheless are. And I get that. I get why.
However You already know, to me, I has all the time been just like the Web, proper? It’s model new. And when the Web got here out, by the best way, I’ve a information clipping someplace, which I’ve saved, which I assumed was hilarious when the Web was a factor. I can’t bear in mind what yr this was now, someplace round 2000 or earlier than that.
I can’t bear in mind. Are you able to think about that we truly lived by a time when there was like no Web? Anyway, so when that, yeah, it was manner earlier than that. Anyway, at any time when that was, there’s a newspaper clipping that claims the Web is a fad.
And it’s not right here to remain. And it’s actually onerous to consider that as a result of it appears so foolish to have and say that out loud. However that is what individuals believed. And so when individuals began saying that AI is a fad to me, it simply jogged my memory of that. Like, it’s not a fad. It’s not good or unhealthy. It simply is. And it’s how individuals are going to dwell.
And nobody’s going to our subsequent era. My youngsters aren’t going to grasp how anyone lived with out it. Yeah, it’s gonna be like how we are able to’t think about that folks lived with out the Web in some unspecified time in the future. It’s simply there, proper? However simply how the Web didn’t exchange anybody. It helped a number of us develop into more practical.
It helped us join with one another. That’s actually what’s going to do as effectively. proper? It’s simply taking it to a different stage. And so once I mentioned earlier that A. I. Is right here to switch extra of the logical duties for you, nevertheless it’s not right here to switch your artistic aspect, proper? We nonetheless want you to have that creativity, that particular sauce, the life expertise that you’ve.
We nonetheless want you to deliver that to the desk as a result of that’s what’s gonna make what A. I. Is providing you with truly resonate along with your clients. They don’t need to see content material from you that they may have simply as simply additionally generated in Claude or Chat GPT. They need to see you, they need to see how one can relate to them as human beings.
And so once I consider the place AI goes, in fact, such as you mentioned, there’s no option to look into the longer term and AI is altering each single month at this level. However I feel it’s actually come going to return right down to the best way you’re utilizing it. If you happen to’re making an attempt, for those who’re utilizing it and also you’re making an attempt to learn to immediate it since you’re fearful that you simply’re going to get develop into out of date for those who don’t use it which will or will not be true relying on what your enterprise is, proper?
If you happen to’re making an attempt to develop into a immediate engineer and provides these providers or provide these providers to different enterprise house owners, that’s nice. Completely. Discover ways to immediate it. However when you’ve got a non immediate sort of enterprise or provide a service, what you need to take into consideration is how are you going to make that higher by utilizing the best AI instruments which can be going that can assist you nonetheless get to that finish purpose and nonetheless enable you join along with your clients with out like changing you, if that is sensible.
So it’s actually about the way it’s going to make, relying on how you utilize it, it’s going that can assist you be extra artistic and really win on the recreation of enterprise, if you’ll.
[00:43:50] Mike Allton: Oh, one hundred percent agree. I I’ve usually talked about how we’re within the fourth industrial revolution. Actually, I did a complete solo episode that I’ll hyperlink to beneath about how AI is the fourth industrial revolution, how that compares to the earlier three industrial revolutions.
And the one cautionary story that I need to share that’s slightly little bit of a pushback is that, , when. Within the 1800s, earlier than we had electrical energy, cities would use fuel lamps on the streets to gentle individuals’s manner, and the cities would make use of fuel lamp lighters to stroll round at nightfall every night and light-weight these lamps.
And when electrical energy changed fuel lamps. These fuel lamps, these jobs had been eradicated. These individuals needed to discover and reskill other forms of jobs. And that could be a potentiality for each industrial revolution. There may be actually a potentiality for individuals’s jobs to get replaced, much less jobs to be wanted, even when it’s the identical function, attributable to A. I. So one thing to essentially take into consideration to your level is, , ensuring that you simply’re how one can deliver A. I. Into your roles each single day and upscale what you’re doing and pivot if it’s worthwhile to. However Ruheene, you’ve been completely superb. This has been such a enjoyable interview and such a deep dive into not simply A. I. However like I mentioned earlier than, simply actually, actually good method to marking technique for individuals who need to be taught extra. They need to join with you. The place can they go?
[00:45:17] Ruheene Jaura: Yow will discover me on Fb, Ruheene R U H E E N E. Or you may attain out on the heylevi. ai web site as effectively. We’ve slightly chat widget that comes straight to me.
So yeah, both manner, heylevi. ai might be the simplest option to go.
[00:45:32] Mike Allton: Terrific. Thanks a lot, Ruheene. Thanks all of you for listening. We’ll have all of the assets and hyperlinks that we talked about immediately within the present notes beneath.
