Curated taste & community will differentiate brands from the “AI slop sameness” we’re seeing take over our content. 

How do you stand out? 

Here’s what I’m hearing marketing leaders discuss as their strategy👇🏼 (as a marketer + creator + community leader myself) 

Whether you’re a creator, founder, or brand marketer, you should be investing in: 

🤝 Community: Partner w a local community, build your own, create a community for your customers. 

🗞️ Curation: Newsletters, hiring a real human for your content, interview customers and internal stakeholders for real insight into the market, act like your own mini news source for your audience. Using tools like @slackhq or @beehiiv or even @redditforbusiness 

To be clear, I am all for using AI where appropriate (I work at an AI company) like data, workflows, admin, etc. that align with your company’s goals. But when you don’t have a true story and human in the loop to create a personal connection, your brand is harmed🫢

What trends are you seeing for 2026?
