Awareness is not your problem; the Rival Technologies study from 13 August says 72% of Gen Z have taken direct action against a brand after encountering AI-generated marketing, which means recognition can now be a liability rather than an asset.

Strategic direction
You are not competing for attention; you already have it. You are competing to be worth the money and worth the trust, in that order, with a generation that has publicly proven it will punish work that feels machine-made. Start by making the human authorship of your work visible and by putting real numbers where you currently put adjectives. Monday: audit the last ninety days of your Gen Z-facing output and mark every asset where no human is credited and no price logic is stated. That list is your brief. The question I would open a two-day session with: when a Gen Z buyer decides not to buy from you, what do they buy instead, and what does that purchase say about them that yours does not?
