When a PR partner positions itself as a guardian of brand trust and authenticity, and legal safety, it is obliged to deliver human-led strategy and human-generated content.

It's about more than just getting the technical terms right; it's about strategically aligning communications to your business goals, and to ensure that we keep the brands we represent and their voice firmly on the side of trust.

Reports show that 86% of Google AI results come from human-written content.

It is tempting for business leaders to view generative AI as a quick win for efficiency, however, the truth is that relying on it for public commentary can lead to an erosion of trust.

Judith Middleton , CEO at DUO, unpacks the risks of using AI to generate content here: https://www.duomarketing.co.za/guarding-brand-trust-the-changing-role-pr/

The audience needs context.

A list of features does not show how noise-cancelling headphones improve concentration in a shared flat. A product demo does not communicate how a smart home system simplifies daily life for a busy family. And even the most advanced AI-powered device requires real-life demonstration before it becomes relevant.

This is where influencer marketing, when aligned with PR, becomes strategic.

This week, Shey Nel joined our client Shop2Shop’s Head of Marketing and Brand, Cindy Klassen at The Marketing Exchange Event hosted by Fundi and Neighbourgood in Cape Town.

The event was centred around the topic of scaling and growing brands and teams and speakers at the event included Julia Sotirianakos, CEO at Reach for a Dream and Murray Clark, Co-Founder and CEO at Neighbourgood.

A key takeout that strongly resonated with DUO’s values was the importance of authenticity in storytelling for brands. Whilst this insight is not new, it is now more important than ever as businesses and agencies navigate the impacts of AI content on brand visibility (SEO, AEO, GEO), reach and credibility.

If a PR partner positions itself as a guardian of brand trust and authenticity, and legal safety, it is obliged to deliver human-led strategy and human-generated content to a media landscape and social media environment saturated with AI content. Journalists trust that we are offering them genuine thought leadership, not aggregated beige content at best, or plagiarised ideas at worst. Beyond this, reports show that 86% of Google AI results come from human-written content. Knowing this, why would you bother with AI sludge?
