EVP Innovation & Technology, Hotwire Global | Head of AI Lab | 25+ Years’ B2B IT Marketing & ABM Leadership
Thrilled to be moderating a panel with Ben Munroe and Nicholas Kontopoulos on 'AI Search - Visibility and Relevance' at B2B Marketing Leaders Forum | Singapore | 8-9 October 2025, ASIA's largest conference for B2B marketers. 🔥 The 'AI Search Apocalypse' is here. B2B marketers are witnessing a decline in organic traffic as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overview alter how buyers discover solutions. But here's the question: → Is this a fundamental shift in buyer behaviour, or just another case of marketing industry hysteria? 🚩 Our session will tackle: The reality check → What's actually happening vs. the headlines. Are we looking at traffic vanity metrics or genuine business impact? The strategy gap → Concrete steps B2B marketers can take to maintain visibility as AI search becomes dominant. What's working in practice, not theory. The APAC challenge → How do regional marketers build the business case for AI search optimisation when global leadership controls the budget and website? AI doesn't browse. 🔥 It parses. Your content strategy built for Google won't work in an AI-first discovery landscape. 👉🏽 It's your last chance to register this week: https://lnkd.in/gpr3Fngd #b2bmktgapac #b2bmarketing #marketingleadership

The government shutdown just furloughed two-thirds of CISA's workforce. Organizations that rely on government threat advisories are now operating blind. And adversaries are already taking notice. For cybersecurity comms leaders, this is a critical moment to position your experts as trusted voices, not with noise, but with genuine guidance and threat intelligence sharing.

🏆 Shortlist Shout Out at the AMEC Awards 2025! 🏆 We’re thrilled to share that Hotwire has taken home two AMEC Measurement and Evaluation shortlist spots, including one for Best Use of New Technology in Communication Measurement for our groundbreaking work with Pure Storage. Faced with the rise of AI-powered search and the shift to “zero-click” discovery, Pure Storage partnered with Hotwire to uncover how AI answer engines cite their content, which sources influence buyer behavior, and optimize for AI-driven discovery. Thank you, AMEC, for recognizing work that demonstrates the impact of communications in the age of AI, and to the Hotwire team for leading with innovation and expertise. #AMECAwards #HotwireSpark #AIVisibility

PR’s new front door is moving from Google search to the AI answer box. And that shifts the PR job from “get the clip” to “get cited.” That’s how GEO (generative engine optimization) is changing the landscape: make sure your experts, facts, and reporting are the sources AI portals pull into their summaries. Influence the answers, influence discovery. I’m digging into all of this in an upcoming Hotwire webinar, PR in the AI Era, with a crew I’m genuinely pumped about: Meredith Klein (she/her), an entrepreneurial force who can turn media chaos into crisp strategy; Olivia Fajardo, whose IPR research lens keeps us honest about what actually works; and Matt Oakley, a builder who translates analytics and AI into programs that move the needle. Here's a taste of what we’ll cover: 📡 How earned signals become answer signals, and why PR is uniquely positioned to shape them 🔎 Practical GEO moves for comms teams: source pages, quotable facts, FAQs, and “evidence trails” AI can cite 📊 Measuring impact when clicks are scarce but citations compound authority 📅 Tuesday, Oct 21, 11 a.m. ET • Hosted by Hotwire. Details and RSVP are just below. #AI #PublicRelations #Communications #HotwireWebinar

Last week, our very own Joanne Denyeau joined media leaders at Axios Media Trends Live in New York City. From FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez spotlighting the “weaponization” of agency authority to PBS CEO Paula Kerger’s optimism about the future of public media, the conversations captured a pivotal moment for the industry. The event was full of key insights and a reminder that the media landscape is always shifting and it's crucial for us to keep up.
