Becoming a member of us to unpack this sport altering method is Ruheene Jaura a real innovator on the intersection of creativity and know-how. With 16 years of expertise in visible results for giants like Cirque Soleil and Marvel, Ruheene has seamlessly transitioned into AI powered advertising. Because the founding father of heyLevi.ai, she’s revolutionizing model technique improvement. Licensed in digital advertising and rising applied sciences. Ruheene brings a novel mix of artistic imaginative and prescient and technical experience to assist companies rework their branding by AI.
Hey, Ruheene, welcome to the present.
[00:02:48] Ruheene Jaura: Hey, Mike. Thanks a lot for having me. I’m actually excited to be right here.[00:02:51] Mike Allton: So glad to have you ever. Let’s begin should you may by simply form of strolling us by your journey from visible results, which is tremendous cool, by the way in which, to AI powered advertising.
How did that distinctive background affect your method to branding?
[00:03:05] Ruheene Jaura: You realize, it’s all about storytelling. I feel everyone knows that whether or not we’re entrepreneurs or not, all of us have a private story. And after we turn into enterprise homeowners and begin advertising what our affords. It’s actually all about now our buyer’s story and the way our services and products slot in with their story So it’s actually on the finish of the day all about storytelling And should you’re not telling a narrative along with your services and products Then you definately’re lacking out on an enormous market as a result of that’s actually what individuals need to see is a narrative and so they need to see themselves in that story.
So truly even earlier than visible results and Marvel I used to be, I used to be doing structure. So I went to undergrad for structure and it actually, the entire storytelling factor, imagine it or not, began with structure as a result of I spotted that if you’re designing issues areas, bodily areas for individuals. It’s all in regards to the tales which can be going to be lived and skilled in these areas. And so my mind simply robotically began considering by way of tales proper from my structure days. After which once I went into visible results and I began working with with, you recognize, firms like Marvel Avengers and all the larger larger productions.
I actually began to see that come to life. I imply, despite the fact that, you recognize, we went from bodily areas to now Marvel motion pictures, that are two completely various things. The one fixed that that stayed the identical is the truth that individuals can see themselves in that story. So when someone likes an architectural area or a house, for instance, if you’re trying to purchase a house, it’s actually if you’re strolling by the house, you concentrate on the way you’re going to create tales in every area in every a part of the house.
And that’s what involves life in your mind. And also you determine whether or not you need to reside there or not, whether or not you need to purchase the house or not. And once more, if you’re watching a film, you you ask your self whether or not it’s a superhero film or a documentary. It’s actually about, do you see one thing about your self in that story that makes you need to watch it by the tip or not?
So I don’t know if that answered the query or, or if you wish to, yeah.
[00:05:09] Mike Allton: Nicely, yeah. So, so, so take it additional than that. So the subsequent step is you began to delve into AI. Yeah. I used delve in individual on objective, however inform me how you bought into AI.[00:05:20] Ruheene Jaura: So after engaged on visible results I actually began to get in that’s once I began entering into advertising as a result of whereas I used to be doing visible results and in between tasks I began engaged on You realize, advertising spots for firms like Apple, Motorola, Radio Shack again within the day Amazon. So I used to be on numerous their product launches as a part of the advertising group.
And that’s how I bought into advertising. And once more, the storytelling half is simply stayed by these, these years. However AI, you recognize, when, I’ve at all times used AI instruments. I’m at all times in search of instruments, whether or not they’re AI or not, to assist make my work simpler, assist me be extra environment friendly. And so when OpenAI got here up with their API and made AI so accessible to everybody, I made a decision at that time to take all the frameworks and the learnings that I had by my 16 years of labor expertise in movie and in advertising and actually mix these into a straightforward to make use of software utilizing AI that will assist put that 16 years of expertise into enterprise homeowners and entrepreneurs palms that possibly don’t have that form of expertise and are in search of a bit little bit of assist.
[00:06:30] Mike Allton: Love that. I imply, because the Chief Storyteller at Agorapulse, most of you listening, know that’s, that’s the place I name residence for my full time job. I actually simply spent the afternoon at present earlier than becoming a member of you, Ruheene, on this recording, crafting our Agorapulse model story and our storytelling pointers, as a result of there’s so many individuals within the group which can be a part of the storytelling technique of our model.
It’s not simply entrepreneurs, it’s gross sales group members, it’s not simply. buyer help group members, it’s engineers as a result of to your level, proper? They’re crafting a product that our buyer tales are going to be instructed inside that product. And so I used to be spending numerous time considering by what ought to our story pointers be a storytelling pointers and what makes for a great story.
And all through that complete course of, hand in hand, AI to assist me flip that right into a narrative and method that the remainder of our group may use. However I need to focus for a second on a few of the small companies that you just’ve been working with from that advertising perspective, from that model perspective, what do you see a few of the largest challenges are that they’re going through, significantly in relation to constructing and creating their very own model technique?
[00:07:40] Ruheene Jaura: I feel the most important downside is that the majority entrepreneurs newer entrepreneurs and small enterprise homeowners who’re making an attempt to market themselves due to a low finances they’re actually, they’re struggling to grasp methods to develop their enterprise from only a enterprise right into a model. And so numerous of us will suppose once they consider branding, they consider colours and fonts and, you recognize, all of the issues that make their, their pages, their net pages and their social media posts fairly.
However I feel there are only a few individuals who truly perceive {that a} model is a lot greater than that. Sure, the colours and the fonts feed into it, nevertheless it’s actually the, Why they feed into it, proper? So the explanation these colours and fonts are essential are due to the emotion and the expertise that you just’re invoking in your viewers.
And so what’s it that they’re feeling once they come throughout your model? And so whether or not you, you recognize, whether or not it’s intentional or not, whether or not you’ve constructed a model deliberately or not, you will have a model, proper? And when it’s not intentional and all you’re specializing in are the gorgeous stuff, the colours and the fonts you is perhaps lacking the general expertise that your viewers is having along with your model. So it’s actually about once more again to storytelling, proper? So what’s their story and the way do you slot in with that story? so I at all times say that it’s the model narrative is de facto your buyer’s narrative And the way you slot in because the skilled in that story and that’s the way you place your self.
So I at all times speak about how branding goes hand in hand with positioning. It’s the way you’re positioning your self available in the market and the way you’re becoming in along with your prospects narrative.
[00:09:14] Mike Allton: I’m so glad you introduced up the Why, as a result of that’s so vital. That’s why I used to be speaking a few second in the past, how I spent the complete afternoon creating the Agorapulse model story, as a result of that’s our Why.
Why can we do what we do and why can we do how we do it? In different phrases, you recognize, we’re doing issues a sure method. Why are we doing it that method? Proper. We’re serving to our prospects with social media. Yeah. Let’s imagine why we’re doing that, however the way in which that we assist prospects with their social media administration is totally different from different individuals.
And there’s a cause for that. There’s a why behind that. And we needed to ensure that that was articulated in a method that everyone within the group would know, after which be capable of infuse into all the pieces that they’re doing. So if you’re speaking to prospects, small companies, medium sized companies, whomever, and so they’re making an attempt to determine.
You realize, their model technique, their model story. How do you see AI know-how coming in to assist them with these sorts of challenges and form of nearly democratizing that entry to skilled stage branding?
[00:10:17] Ruheene Jaura: Yeah. So this once more goes again to my days engaged on the product launches that I discussed earlier particularly Apple and Amazon.
And I really like telling the story However, you recognize, there’s a lot to be realized from the way in which Apple positions itself and its merchandise and the way in which Amazon does it. And we each know they’re each superb firms. They’ve each completed so effectively for themselves, however everyone knows that Apple has constructed this like loopy fan following, proper?
And it’s all as a result of they’re all about model led advertising. We’ve all heard of product led advertising, however I don’t suppose sufficient of us are speaking about model led advertising. So the way in which Apple has been capable of create this model. Now, Amazon has a model and so they have a really robust model for certain. However should you have a look at Amazon’s launches, every of their product launches have been very product led and there’s numerous power in that, however actually, it comes right down to model loyalty. Proper? And the explanation I say that’s as a result of somebody like Apple, everyone knows that they’ve launched merchandise over time. A few of them have been superb. And a few of them have been Proper.
Like I’m an Apple fan, so don’t, don’t come at me for saying that, however I exploit numerous Apple merchandise. However let’s be sincere. Like should you evaluate what Apple has launched over time, particularly after Steve Jobs was gone what they’ve launched over time has been. Fairly crappy in comparison with a few of the Android stuff that’s been popping out in parallel, proper?
The Android merchandise and the Samsung merchandise that come out, should you’re actually speaking about know-how and futuristic, you recognize options, the Samsung merchandise even have higher options and extra person pleasant options than Apple has, has had over the previous few years, however the cause why individuals who use Apple, together with me, is not going to transfer away to a different product which may be higher or superior is as a result of we’ve model loyalty.
And in order that comes with numerous forgiveness when there are product launches that possibly aren’t so nice. Then again, when Amazon launches merchandise, it’s on a product foundation, proper? In the event that they launch a product that sucks, no one’s going to purchase it. In contrast to Apple, once they launch a product that sucks, their fanboys are nonetheless going to purchase it.
Fanboys and fangirls. And all of it comes down to essentially understanding the way you’re advertising your self. In case you’re advertising simply your services and products, once more, you’re on the danger of, sure, if in case you have a robust services or products, that’s going to be nice. It’s going to work out nice so long as you’re doing the proper factor product led advertising method, however on the core of it, you actually need to take into consideration methods to construct a robust model, as a result of should you launch a number of affords or services or products over time simply know that should you’ve constructed a robust model on the core of it you will have numerous forgiveness and people launches once they don’t go so effectively.
So all that being stated, now we’re speaking about Apple and Amazon and never all of us have the sorts of budgets that they’ve, proper. To construct that robust model. And so. That’s the place AI is available in, as a result of if you feed the proper context and frameworks into AI, now AI is aware of methods to model, methods to form of mimic a few of these extra standard manufacturers, like Apple, Nike, Lululemon, should you’ve heard of that.
So these sorts of manufacturers, even once they don’t have one of the best product, Nike has at all times had a great product, I feel. However like Lululemon, should you’re, should you’re acquainted with that, that’s like a clothes model, proper? Their high quality sucks. However Right here I’m sitting in all lululemon as a result of that’s what I once more, it’s a model factor.
And, and I pay prime greenback for it, however once more, it’s the entire model. And I’m certain we’ve viewers proper now. And my husband is one in all them. Who’s at all times like, why do you pay a lot cash for a model? That’s silly. Purchase a greater high quality product. That’s truly going to final you longer. And, and yeah so as to add context to that. He’s an Android person. However you see the place what I’m saying as a enterprise, no matter whether or not you agree with that method or not, you’re setting your self up for achievement in the long term. In case you’re coming from a model led method. Now to your query of, you recognize, how does A. I assist form of democratize that method?
Beforehand You needed to have an enormous advertising group otherwise you needed to spend fairly a bit of cash simply to give you a robust model. Now what I imply by a robust model is once more, not simply the colours and the fonts. These are undoubtedly a part of it, however actually your model narrative, the way you’re positioning your model available in the market the way you’re connecting along with your very best prospects. All of that feeds into your model.
And so if you consider it extra holistically like that, and also you ask for AI’s assist in serving to you create that model, after which from there, each piece of content material that you just create. So we had been speaking about social media, however actually it’s whether or not it’s social media or a video script for YouTube or a weblog publish or a gross sales web page, when all the pieces feeds off of that core model, like Apple does, you begin to see that It form of kinds this expertise to your customers that they’ll hold wanting to return again to as a result of they know what to anticipate, even when a services or products isn’t one of the best one on the market isn’t one of the best in the marketplace, they nonetheless need to keep along with your model ecosphere due to that model loyalty.
[00:15:11] Mike Allton: Okay. To begin with, you’ve simply given us a masterclass on, on advertising technique. People return and re hearken to this previous phase a pair extra occasions and actually take into consideration what Ruheene simply stated, as a result of all the pieces you stated is totally right. And I’ll ask you listeners, indulge me for a second, take into consideration Apple and give you some adjectives that describe Apple as a model in your thoughts, and try this for 30 seconds, after which attempt to do this for Amazon.
And I feel you’ll wrestle. I feel you’ll wrestle fairly a bit to give you any actually fascinating adjectives, you recognize, apart from possibly two day supply. We don’t even know if that’s an adjective, proper? There’s issues that you can affiliate with that model, however not adjectives in regards to the model. And that’s the distinction between model led.
And, and to your level, like I’ve already referenced a few occasions, I spent hours this afternoon engaged on the Agorapulse model story and storytelling pointers. And this was truly simply the end result of most likely a 3 month challenge. I took on the position in, in the summertime of this yr. And that’s been one of many issues I wanted to do as a result of we didn’t have an recognized or documented model story.
We had, to your level, model voice pointers. Colour brand, some bit about how we talk, proper? However nothing actually in depth documented. And so I needed to undergo a whole technique of defining, you recognize, what’s a model story? What frameworks are we going to make use of? Trigger there’s numerous choices, you recognize, to give you, you recognize, there’s, there’s story model, there’s Tamsin Webster’s pink thread, which is finally what we ended up utilizing.
And there’s fairly a number of others. That was one thing that actually I used to be paid full time. As an train to suppose by that primarily based on my decade plus of promoting expertise. And to your level, now AI comes alongside and simplifies this and it might not essentially be, you recognize, McKinsey and firm stage consulting high quality, nevertheless it’s nice.
It’s actually, actually good. No matter AI goes to give you and the extra you’re capable of put into it, the extra you’re going to have the ability to get out. And I’d wish to form of go on a bit tangent right here for a second, as a result of I do know numerous what we’re speaking about is what your software does for folk. And I’d love so that you can share a bit bit extra about what heyLevi does and the way that works for manufacturers.
[00:17:29] Ruheene Jaura: Yeah. SheyLevivi truly does numerous what we had been speaking about. And simply earlier than I overlook, Mike, one factor that you just simply touched upon is the model voice, proper? And even that’s extra than simply fonts and colours. It’s actually in regards to the tone of voice, like your writing model, your model, the vitality you will have in your writing and in your content material that additionally must say cohesive. That’s additionally part of your model. And so numerous that’s what heyLevi does, proper? It acknowledges and it tries to grasp your distinctive model voice and your model narrative, your buyer avatars each on a model stage after which on a product and repair stage, proper?
That are extra dialed in. And Yeah. Understands that not simply by way of like if you when you concentrate on buyer avatars, proper? Like inform me, truly, Mike, I’m going to place this query on you. What do you concentrate on if you consider buyer avatars? Like what do you count on to see on a buyer avatar card?
[00:18:18] Mike Allton: I’m in search of titles. I’m in search of demographics for my graphics. I’m in search of an understanding of who inside a particular group and what that group appears like. The model, whether or not it’s my very own or someone I’m working with. They’re making an attempt to focus on, proper? So what verticals, you recognize, how massive an organization, what sort of firm and who inside that firm, after which past that, that firmographic data, reminiscent of, you recognize, what do they need, what are they in search of, what are they making an attempt to perform, the place are they struggling, you recognize, what challenges are they going through that the model might or might not have enter in an answer for[00:18:53] Ruheene Jaura: Nice.
So to summarize that, would you say that you just’re actually interested by demographics and ache factors, however what about determination making drivers? What about their inside beliefs, their inside philosophical beliefs and their inside, like, tales that they’re telling themselves, their inside dialogue that they’re speaking about inside their heads.
How are we tapping into that?
[00:19:18] Mike Allton: Yeah, and that’s the form of factor that I’d say is usually lacking from, you recognize, if a enterprise has a persona or an ICP in any respect. They most likely don’t have that.[00:19:28] Ruheene Jaura: Precisely. Yeah. And in order that’s the hole that we work on, on filling. So we enable you to go like actually, actually deep into your buyer avatars, proper?
So not simply demographics and ache factors. These are nice. And people are crucial. Don’t get me improper. Completely crucial. However until you’re additionally understanding who they’re on a deeper stage, what their philosophical beliefs are, what their social desires and desires are how they suppose emotionally, we’re all emotional beings.
And I feel we’ve all heard this, proper? We’re all emotional beings. And you recognize, if you promote, you need to promote to the emotional a part of a human being, however that’s the place the complete demographics and ache factors fall quick since you’re not truly addressing their emotional wants. So if you begin to think about your buyer avatars as like holistic human beings which have flaws similar to we do, which have emotional wants that normally trump our logical and desires and desires, what we expect we wish is normally not what we wish.
Once we go right into a retailer to purchase one thing, why is it that 9 occasions out of 10, we normally purchase one thing else? We don’t purchase what we walked in there for, proper? Whether or not we truly purchase the factor that we walked in for, However a distinct model that we had in thoughts or a very totally different factor. Or that factor plus 5 different issues.
Like there’s a cause why we try this, proper? We inform ourselves we’re solely going to spend this a lot. This isn’t my finances at present. After which we go and persuade ourselves that no, that is actually going to alter my life for me. And so I’m additionally going to buy this. So all of that comes right down to in case you are, you recognize, should you’ve ever discovered your self making an attempt to supply a reduction to be able to shut a sale.
And I’m not speaking about seasonal reductions, proper? These are nice. However I’m speaking about should you’ve ever been on a gross sales name and someone has been like, Oh, however I can do, I can get the identical factor elsewhere for like 100 {dollars}. a lower cost and you are feeling such as you really feel the necessity to value match to be able to shut that sale.
That simply signifies that you haven’t actually understood their desires and desires on that emotional foundation, proper? As a result of all of us are keen to pay more cash, despite the fact that we don’t wish to admit it. All of us are keen to pay more cash for one thing that we emotionally imagine will give us extra satisfaction than we’ll spend on one thing that we all know is a necessity.
And that’s going to resolve a ache level for us, if that is smart.
[00:21:42] Mike Allton: It makes full sense as a result of it’s 100% true. I don’t know if these of you listening know sufficient about my historical past. I used to promote swimming swimming pools and scorching tubs, and this was a very long time in the past. That is about 10 years in the past, however I used to promote swimming swimming pools in Northern Ohio.
And the factor is, individuals wouldn’t are available to, our warehouse to purchase a pool, they weren’t really within the width of the pool wall or how excessive it was or what number of horsepower went into the filtration system. They had been shopping for a yard expertise, and if it was a household, proper, they had been additionally shopping for issues like security for his or her Youngsters, you recognize.
You realize, with the ability to have experiences at residence, quite than having to waste time, taking them to other forms of swimming pools, proper? There have been all these values that went into the play. And the second I understood that and was capable of replicate that and talk that in my verbal, you recognize, gross sales that was the second I turned the primary salesperson in the complete group, proper?
As a result of then I’m speaking to those prospects about what they actually need to accomplish and never losing time speaking about trivia, like, you recognize, That don’t actually matter, proper? It’s, it’s, it’s options versus advantages in numerous methods. In order that’s superb. And let me ensure that myself and everyone listening understands accurately.
So with heyLevi, there’s, I’m assuming some form of a course of the place I feed it details about my enterprise and that it helps me to develop this actually thorough goal persona. Is that proper?
[00:23:15] Ruheene Jaura: Sure. And so that you begin, the entire app is once more, centered round your distinctive model. So that you inform it 4 items of knowledge that are, what do you do to your viewers?
What do you stand towards? So actually like what, you recognize, you at all times need to juxtapose, haven’t used that phrase in like years. I really feel like, uh, you need to actually evaluate what you do versus what you stand towards. What are you actually good at versus what your opponents are doing, proper? And so it’s actually understanding that.
What do you do? What do you stand towards? What do you try this no one else is doing? And what’s that core factor that folks that, that you just try this they’re not going to get wherever else. So as soon as you may reply these questions clearly, I imply, that’s the half that we’re counting on you to truly find out about what you are promoting and most of us do.
Proper. It’s, it’s placing these into phrases and truly pulling that into all of our content material that we come across. However so long as you can provide the AI these items of knowledge, it can create a whole model narrative for you. So it can establish who your model buyer avatar is. Once more, this isn’t as dialed in as your product stage, as a result of we’re not at a gross sales stage but, proper?
So your merchandise and affords, consider these as issues that you just’re going to promote. So your model just isn’t one thing you’re promoting. That’s the expertise that we’re constructing, proper? That’s the core of who we’re. So at that stage, your buyer avatar is that this broader buyer avatar. We’re nonetheless speaking about there, we’re not speaking about determination making drivers as a result of we’re not making an attempt to get them to buy something simply but. However we try to grasp them by way of social, emotional, and philosophical beings, even on the model stage. So what it does for you is it helps you establish that it helps you establish what their story is Together with ache factors, however actually what their general story is and the way you as a model would place your self in that story. The place do you are available because the skilled?
And the way you’re going to cause them to success or that final objective that they’re in search of. Now everyone knows a great story at all times comes with the concern of what might occur if issues don’t go as deliberate. So that every one, that’s additionally one thing you at all times need to embody in your model narrative. You realize, if, should you work with us, for instance, that is the journey that can lead you thru, however should you don’t take motion at present, that is what might be in danger.
So it helps you dial in all of that and your, your colours and your fonts and all of that as effectively. So it helps you construct all of that. That then will get saved as your model messaging playbook in your heyLevi account. So that you at all times have that to reference everytime you’re creating any, any piece of content material from there.
Relating to gross sales, now you’ll create a extra detailed product stage. Which once more applies as to if you’re promoting a services or products. It’s actually your provide. We’re simply utilizing product a bit loosely. But it surely’s actually any provide that you just provide. It’s about what makes you totally different, the way you evaluate along with your opponents, how your prospects are perceiving that worth distinction between what you provide them versus your opponents.
And should you’re listening intently to this, you is perhaps Begin to see how this may additionally assist your gross sales calls or gross sales conversations. As a result of if you’re making an attempt to have that gross sales dialog, if you’re on a gross sales name and someone says, effectively, so and so is giving me the identical factor for like half the value.
One factor to notice is that they’re there with you for a cause. So simply because they’re saying that’s not a clue so that you can decrease your value or value match. However so long as you’re clear about what that in comparison with affords and the way you’re That’s the time if you need to current that data. And if you try this, you’re serving to that buyer see themselves in your story and vice versa, proper?
That you just’re additionally serving to them see how you’ll match into their story. After which value doesn’t matter.
[00:26:54] Mike Allton: I like it. And you recognize, I really like that you just’re working in, you recognize, NLP triggers like, effectively, what occurs should you don’t? That’s incredible of us. We’re speaking with Ruheene about constructing terrific model technique and documentation and placing that into place utilizing AI.
In a second, we’re going to speak about how these strategies in comparison with conventional approaches. However first let me share with you the software that I’m utilizing to organize this podcast, assist me with newsletters. All of my different advertising and enterprise duties.
This episode of AI in Advertising and marketing Unpacked is dropped at you by Magai, your gateway to creating generative AI extremely easy and accessible.

Don’t simply market, market smarter with Magai. Faucet the hyperlink within the present notes.
So simply to attract a distinction between what you guys simply heard. Magai, the software that I’m utilizing on a regular basis and heyLevi, with Magai, you’re, you’re a wrapper for the opposite giant language fashions. It’s a clean canvas on which you’ll speak backwards and forwards with them.
And that form of factor, to be able to create a advertising technique or a model technique or model story, you’d need to know what you’re doing. You continue to have to have the ability to ask the proper questions and consider the responses and work with it backwards and forwards. So I used Magai and Claude to develop, you recognize, numerous Agorapulse’s documentation for his or her storytelling pointers and so forth.
However I knew what I used to be doing. I used to be conscious of Tamsen Webster’s pink thread framework sufficient to Discuss to the AI about that and say, Hey, look, I’d like to check story model with the pink thread and see what are the variations between these two frameworks. I do know I need to use a hero’s journey method with most of our storytelling, however I need to have a look at another choices, proper?
All that data was already baked into my head with hey Levi, you don’t must know all of that data to your level the place you’re simply going to reply these 4 questions. And which will require numerous thought. You may must go to another group members and give it some thought, which is, which is sweet.
It’s best to put time and thought into these sorts of approaches and ensuring you’ve bought the proper data up entrance about who you might be, who you’re concentrating on, that form of factor. However on the finish, you get this incredible playbook or collection of playbooks that you just’re capable of make use of. In order that’s one of many variations between an AI assisted method and form of a extra conventional method.
What are a few of the variations that you just consider in relation to branding and it comes to love time, price and effectiveness with its AI versus conventional?
[00:30:12] Ruheene Jaura: I actually like what you simply stated about you recognize, having to know what frameworks you need to use to your use case versus not understanding. And I feel this ties into each, you recognize, smaller enterprise homeowners who don’t actually know a lot about advertising or newer entrepreneurs, but additionally the extra skilled entrepreneurs as a result of as entrepreneurs, and I’ve been doing this once more for over 16 years at this level, however I’m You realize, I we’ve over 60 frameworks.
I feel 70 frameworks at this level constructed into the app. Over 150 prompts constructed into the app, however that’s to not say that that’s an exhaustive checklist, proper? These frameworks are evolving continually. They’re rising. They’re morphing into totally different frameworks. It’s actually maintaining with what’s working at present as a result of what labored two years in the past, 5 years in the past is probably not working at present, or it is perhaps.
And it’s actually being conscious of what’s working versus not working. And in order that’s a few of the heavy lifting that hey Levi takes off of you is it, you recognize, you’re not on the road to continually be maintaining with you recognize, the newest advertising technique or the newest immediate method and all of that stuff.
And, you recognize, I’m on this, I’m in a number of AI teams on Fb and one thing that I noticed when 4. 0 got here out after which once more, 2 months after it got here out, which was just some weeks in the past, truly They’re continually evolving their fashions, proper? And to get a bit technical on you right here. They’re continually making an attempt to avoid wasting individuals cash, proper?
And they also will constantly not simply optimize their fashions, however they’ll try to pointed to cheaper variations of their fashions, which Is sweet as a result of it’s saving you cash. However the half that sucks is that when you will have a immediate that’s working very well with one model, it might not translate. And normally 9 occasions out of 10, truly it gained’t translate.
After which, so individuals will come on and be like, Hey, I’ve these prompts that had been working nice in Chat GPT. Has anybody else observed that they’re not working anymore? And so actually what you want is, you recognize, you want this digital group, until you will have a finances to rent an precise human group to maintain up with not simply advertising frameworks, however immediate strategies and all of this, proper.
While you’re utilizing AI and, and even if in case you have the finances to rent this massive group, they’re additionally utilizing instruments to maintain themselves more practical and extra environment friendly. So. By way of the playbooks that we had been speaking about, you recognize, when you construct out your model playbook, after you have your whole product and provide playbooks let’s be sincere, I don’t find out about you, however should you’ve ever created a playbook I don’t know the way usually you truly use it or have a look at it.
All of us, all of us like create playbooks with one of the best intentions, proper? They’re, they’ve a lot good data, however truly going by it and getting your complete group on board with, you recognize, continually that and being conscious of what it has and any updates that you just make to it. That’s the place the problem is available in.
It’s very easy to make a great playbook. But it surely’s actually onerous to a, hold these playbooks up to date after which be, have your complete group and even your self. utterly acquainted with that playbook the place it’s like that, proper? It comes out in all each piece of content material that you just create. And in order that’s additionally the half that heyLevi does for you.
It shops your whole playbooks. It’s simply accessible. You don’t need to undergo an previous Chat GPT dialog to see the place you gave a context about your buyer avatar to try to change it. You may merely simply edit it similar to you’ll in a Phrase doc, for instance. And it already has that context transferring ahead.
And at any time when it’s good to create any content material, you simply pull these playbooks in and it robotically has all the context with out you having to remind it or tweak it on the spot.
[00:33:31] Mike Allton: That’s a very nice instance with The Social Media Hat and this podcast as a, as a solopreneur, proper? That is my facet hustle.
I I’m leaning on these paperwork to assist me. And I’m leaning on these processes to assist me execute quicker and keep on model and message and so forth. However that’s additionally one in all my fears, you recognize, with Agorapulse and different giant firms that I would work with, the place we do create all this nice data, whether or not it’s with AI or not, and we fear that it’s going to turn into shelfware.
Proper. A doc that’s simply placed on a shelf someplace and possibly they’ll have a look at it once more in 12 months. Like, Oh, wow. Yeah, we did all that again in 2023. Possibly we must always do one thing once more with that. And so I really like that that’s in-built now. And that’s a part of the method as a result of I used to be going to comment earlier as incredible as it’s to have these personas and people playbooks developed.
That’s just the start, proper? The subsequent step is you assist your reader. Yeah. Customers use that data in each step of the way in which by way of constructing a advertising technique within the varied items of content material and duplicate that they’re going to need to create. However you talked about humanity a second in the past, and I needed to ask you about that, proper?
How can we ensure that humanity continues to be part of these processes and the way do you see that evolving as you recognize, AI turns into increasingly more prevalent as a part of branding and advertising?
[00:34:50] Ruheene Jaura: Yeah. I truly suppose that AI is right here to not change human creativity. I actually suppose it’s right here to assist us be higher and be extra artistic.
As a result of if you’re developing with something artistic, proper, whether or not you’re writing content material for what you are promoting, otherwise you’re making an attempt to write down a enterprise proposal, no matter it’s that you just’re doing, there’s a there’s a it’s a mixture, proper? It’s a mixture of analysis, And understanding finest practices, understanding what you are promoting’s positioning, what makes you particular.
And there’s the artistic a part of it which is the way you write all of that, the way you convey and talk all of that. And so if you use AI as a software to assist with extra of the logical elements, proper, which it’s nice at it can’t mimic human emotion and human creativity simply but. However if you practice it in a method the place it does 60 to 80 p.c of the give you the results you want and you then are available along with your creativity, your particular sauce, if you’ll and add that to no matter AI is supplying you with, that’s actually the half that, that makes the magic.
I’m not going to take a seat right here and lie that, you recognize, it’s the AI that’s creating the magic for you. It’s simply, Let me put it this fashion. I can both be like a process supervisor and I can get numerous stuff completed. If I’ve a guidelines, I can spend someday and simply undergo my complete process checklist. However I can’t be artistic on the similar time as a result of they’re utilizing two separate elements of my mind.
And so the place you are available is the artistic a part of your mind must be relieved of all of the non artistic duties as a way to be extra artistic. As a way to you may carry that particular sauce out in each piece of content material or writing that you just do
[00:36:25] Mike Allton: love that. That’s that’s a mirrored image of, you recognize, one of many use circumstances I’ve talked about so much on this present, which is the present itself.
I’ve bought many podcasts with Agorapulse. I’ve bought this podcast on the facet. I used to spend two hours researching and making ready for each single interview. And now that I’ve bought a customized GPT and an assistant within the A. I to assist me as a showrunner. It’s 20 minutes as a substitute of two hours to organize for every particular person episode, which frees me to search out extra visitors, spend extra time speaking to them, spend extra time exploring the tales and the experience and so forth.
In order that’s incredible. I’d love should you may share successful story of one in all your prospects or companies that you just’ve labored with and share how they’ve considerably improved Their very own model presence utilizing AI instruments.
[00:37:12] Ruheene Jaura: Really, I’d like to share the story of heyLevi itself. I imply, we we launched our first model of our app two years in the past.
Really precisely two years in the past now it was October, 2022. And we had been known as iGen. We had a very totally different title, completely totally different model, actually no model. That was one in all our, like, we’re simply going to construct a product and never deal with the model a lot. And so for a yr we tried to promote that.
And we, we had an awesome, like, I’d say. pilot program. We actually had been simply in search of 10 individuals to make use of it, give us suggestions. We truly ended up promoting 34 of these like what we had been calling pilot licenses, which had been actually low-cost. We ended up promoting 34 of these and 31 out of these 34 customers truly turned paying prospects into the fuller model of the product when, after we launched that.
In order that was nice, however we couldn’t get previous that. Individuals who would are available and truly use our product beloved it and they might keep on. But it surely was actually making an attempt to get new individuals to attempt it. And so we struggled with that for for a great a part of a yr. And it was solely in October 2023 now. So a yr in the past, we determined that we actually had been missing the, the model.
And so, You realize, that’s truly when heyLevi. heyLevi was only a content material era software initially. However I actually began to consider all of the issues that I’ve realized over my 16 years of expertise, considering I’ve not used any of that on this product. We had been simply a ache level of content material creation on frameworks, and we simply form of in-built these frameworks and content material creation and made a promptless model of this of an app of an AI app.
However we weren’t actually doing it justice by actually it coming from a model technique from a core model technique. And in order that’s after we took a step again and I used to be like, okay, so me and my enterprise companions, we had been truly up until 3am this one night time making an attempt to give you concepts. We had been like, how about we do that?
How about we try this? And it was at 3am and I’m so embarrassed to even say this. But it surely was at 3am once I realized like, Now we have constructed all of those frameworks already into the app. So let’s have iGen on the time. That’s what it was known as, proper? So we had been like, let’s simply have iGen rebrand itself, proper?
Rebrand and reposition itself. And in order that’s what we did. Like we, we bought nowhere that night time. We had some nice concepts, however we discovered flaws in all of them. And so the subsequent morning I opened up the app and I simply had it rebrand itself. Reposition itself, give you a positioning technique for itself. And we adopted that complete technique to the T.
And inside that quarter, this was October, 2023. And by December, 2023, we had quadrupled our gross sales.
[00:39:42] Mike Allton: Wow. It’s humorous as a result of it’s nearly like a a web page out of the ebook Menagerie the place it was October 15, 2023 at 4 a. m. When iGen turned self conscious and rebranded itself, say Levi,
however I like it. That’s a incredible story. And to return to our earlier level of how essential it’s to have people within the loop. My final query to you is without doubt one of the ones that that Claude got here up with. And I at all times chuckle when Claude desires me to ask this query as a result of a human wouldn’t ask it. Claude desires to know, trying forward, how do you envision AI additional remodeling the panorama of name technique and advertising within the subsequent 5 10 years?
And the human in me laughs at that as a result of no one is aware of what’s taking place in AI in 5 10 years. We’re fortunate if we are able to predict 5 10 years. To 10 minutes, proper? I imply, issues are altering so quick on this specific trade, however the, the, the gist of the query is incredible. I’d love to finish with you sharing what you suppose is coming subsequent, whether or not it’s along with your challenge or the trade general.
[00:40:49] Ruheene Jaura: I’ve been seeing this one factor about AI and I ponder if it’s nonetheless related. I really feel prefer it nonetheless is. And so I’m going to say it once more. However when AI was like nonetheless form of new a few yr, yr and a half in the past, there have been lots of people that had been very anti AI and there nonetheless are. And I get that. I get why.
However You realize, to me, I has at all times been just like the Web, proper? It’s model new. And when the Web got here out, by the way in which, I’ve a information clipping someplace, which I’ve saved, which I assumed was hilarious when the Web was a factor. I can’t keep in mind what yr this was now, someplace round 2000 or earlier than that.
I can’t keep in mind. Are you able to think about that we truly lived by a time when there was like no Web? Anyway, so when that, yeah, it was method earlier than that. Anyway, at any time when that was, there’s a newspaper clipping that claims the Web is a fad.
And it’s not right here to remain. And it’s actually onerous to imagine that as a result of it appears so foolish to have and say that out loud. However that is what individuals believed. And so when individuals began saying that AI is a fad to me, it simply jogged my memory of that. Like, it’s not a fad. It’s not good or dangerous. It simply is. And it’s how persons are going to reside.
And nobody’s going to our subsequent era. My youngsters aren’t going to grasp how anyone lived with out it. Yeah, it’s gonna be like how we are able to’t think about that folks lived with out the Web sooner or later. It’s simply there, proper? However simply how the Web didn’t change anybody. It helped numerous us turn into more practical.
It helped us join with one another. That’s actually what will do as effectively. proper? It’s simply taking it to a different stage. And so once I stated earlier that A. I. Is right here to switch extra of the logical duties for you, nevertheless it’s not right here to switch your artistic facet, proper? We nonetheless want you to have that creativity, that particular sauce, the life expertise that you’ve got.
We nonetheless want you to carry that to the desk as a result of that’s what’s gonna make what A. I. Is supplying you with truly resonate along with your prospects. They don’t need to see content material from you that they might have simply as simply additionally generated in Claude or Chat GPT. They need to see you, they need to see how one can relate to them as human beings.
And so once I consider the place AI goes, after all, such as you stated, there’s no strategy to look into the long run and AI is altering each single month at this level. However I feel it’s actually come going to return right down to the way in which you’re utilizing it. In case you’re making an attempt, should you’re utilizing it and also you’re making an attempt to discover ways to immediate it since you’re nervous that you just’re going to get turn into out of date should you don’t use it which will or is probably not true relying on what what you are promoting is, proper?
In case you’re making an attempt to turn into a immediate engineer and provides these companies or provide these companies to different enterprise homeowners, that’s nice. Completely. Discover ways to immediate it. However if in case you have a non immediate kind of enterprise or provide a service, what you need to take into consideration is how will you make that higher through the use of the proper AI instruments which can be going that can assist you nonetheless get to that finish objective and nonetheless enable you to join along with your prospects with out like changing you, if that is smart.
So it’s actually about the way it’s going to make, relying on how you utilize it, it’s going that can assist you be extra artistic and truly win on the sport of enterprise, if you’ll.
[00:43:50] Mike Allton: Oh, 100% agree. I I’ve usually talked about how we’re within the fourth industrial revolution. In actual fact, I did a whole solo episode that I’ll hyperlink to beneath about how AI is the fourth industrial revolution, how that compares to the earlier three industrial revolutions.
And the one cautionary story that I need to share that’s a bit little bit of a pushback is that, you recognize, when. Within the 1800s, earlier than we had electrical energy, cities would use gasoline lamps on the streets to mild individuals’s method, and the cities would make use of gasoline lamp lighters to stroll round at nightfall every night and light-weight these lamps.
And when electrical energy changed gasoline lamps. These gasoline lamps, these jobs had been eradicated. These individuals needed to discover and reskill other forms of jobs. And that may be a potentiality for each industrial revolution. There may be actually a potentiality for individuals’s jobs to get replaced, much less jobs to be wanted, even when it’s the identical position, on account of A. I. So one thing to essentially take into consideration to your level is, you recognize, ensuring that you just’re how one can carry A. I. Into your roles each single day and upscale what you’re doing and pivot if it’s good to. However Ruheene, you’ve been completely superb. This has been such a enjoyable interview and such a deep dive into not simply A. I. However like I stated earlier than, simply actually, actually sensible method to marking technique for many who need to study extra. They need to join with you. The place can they go?
[00:45:17] Ruheene Jaura: You could find me on Fb, Ruheene R U H E E N E. Or you may attain out on the heylevi. ai web site as effectively. Now we have a bit chat widget that comes straight to me.
So yeah, both method, heylevi. ai might be the simplest strategy to go.
[00:45:32] Mike Allton: Terrific. Thanks a lot, Ruheene. Thanks all of you for listening. We’ll have all of the assets and hyperlinks that we talked about at present within the present notes beneath. And only one fast reminder, if that is form of your first foray into AI for advertising particularly, I’ve bought a free useful resource linked beneath within the present notes known as the AI Advertising and marketing Primer that can enable you to perceive what are the totally different language fashions?
