Our 2024 Relevance Report breaks down the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the communications industry. Contributors Vijay Chattha, founder and CEO of VSC Agency, and Daniela Rodríguez Martínez Rodriguez Martinez, a Fulbright Scholar and recent graduate of the public relations and advertising program at USC Annenberg, reveal tools to create compelling, empathetic, and accurate AI brand stories that connect with audiences and establish market leadership. "While today's AI market is rapidly growing, with thousands of new startups and businesses created every day, the need for a consistent brand presence is key for establishing category creation, market leadership, and a persuasive story that connects with audiences over time. PR and communication professionals play an essential role in the way companies present their brand stories to their stakeholders, especially when the popular narratives around artificial intelligence lack humanity, empathy, and accuracy."
