AI, Personal Brand and EQ: 
The A Team 

AI is enhancing our efficiency, it’s time to rethink how we invest our time and focus on our career growth! 
This is what we discussed last week with the members of the LAYA - Lead As You Are  group and Ryan O'Keeffe  personal branding expert.

As we leverage technology to streamline tasks, we must prioritize our personal brand and our visibility.

But here’s the kicker: Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is a **key driver** in shaping that brand. It’s not just about what you know; it’s about how you connect, communicate, and understand others more than ever. 

In a world increasingly influenced by AI, EQ will play a pivotal role in helping us stand out,build  trust, and foster authentic relationships.

There’s an overlap for sure, but once you get more experienced in using the likes of ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude etc, you’ll find it’s much more powerful in the type of information you can get from this. 

I’ve used AI in a number of ways, which you wouldn’t be able to get via a traditional search result, due to the nature of research, calculations and summarising involved in getting to a personalised response.

In my view this doesn’t replace search, it enhances it and takes it to another level. 

Great to speak to Jaye Cowle 😊 about this last week, and looking forward to sponsoring Launch's CMO's guide to growth event in Bristol on Weds.

The way people find information is evolving. Google is still dominant, but AI-powered search, answer engines, social search, and retail search are all reshaping how your customers discover and choose brands. In this session, Kevin Gibbons (Re:Signal) and Jaye Cowle (Launch) break down what's actually happening in search right now.

It was great to speak with Jaye Cowle 😊 last week, about how search is evolving. 

It's been clear for a long time that search is much more than 10 blue links. 

The introduction of AI overviews + the future of agentic commerce / Google UCP, takes this even further. 

In order to make sure you’re not leaving money on the table you have to have a strategy for not just traditional search, but also focused on understanding how your customers are using retail, social and AI search.

“Mediocrity is hidden until passion shows up and exposes it”

I absolutely love this quote. “Passion for what we do” is one of our values at Re:signal, and it’s what we leave and breathe. 

The goal should always be to do elite level work, and never settle for good enough being good enough!

One of the things we love most about doing the podcast edition of Digital Superchats (beyond a break from doing the events part of the business)...is the opportunity to speak with so many amazing guests from the industry.

Not only do we get to ask them a real mix of questions (including some fun ones too), but we get to learn so much from them.

These are leaders in their field...who have built agencies, in-house teams, delivered global strategies...

In the short clip below, Kevin Gibbons, Founder at Re:signal, reveals a gem of a quote “Mediocrity is hidden until passion shows up and exposes it”. Kevin talks about how this underpins everything his agency does.

Bold move from John Lewis, which really shows direction of travel for retailers.

Founder & Director Arktic Fox | Digital, Data, eComm & Retail Media | CMO Top 20 | NED

John Lewis is betting big on the future of discovery. 🔎

The retailer has announced an £800m transformation program that includes integrating its product catalogue with AI discovery platforms like ChatGPT and Google Gemini, launching a TikTok Shop pilot and expanding rapid delivery through Uber Eats.

At first glance these look like separate initiatives.

They are not.

They reflect a simple reality retailers are starting to accept: discovery has fragmented and eCommerce has proliferated.

Shoppers are no longer starting their journey in one predictable place. Sometimes it begins inside an AI assistant. Sometimes it starts in a social feed. Sometimes it starts when you realise you need something now.

Retailers do not control many of these environments.

So the role of the retailer is changing.

Success is no longer just about bringing shoppers to your site. It is about making sure your product offering is available wherever those buying decisions start.

🤖 AI assistants.
📱 Social platforms.
🛍️ Marketplaces.
🚚 On-demand delivery networks.

For brands, the implication is significant.

Distribution is no longer just about physical shelf space or retailer listings. It is about digital availability, product visibility and how your products show up on virtual shelves. 

The retailers are preparing and already operating in that world. Are you?
