About this Event
The Rules of Marketing Have Changed. Are You Ready?
AI is changing how customers find businesses. Video is changing how they decide who to trust. And the way businesses need to approach marketing in 2026 is very different from even a few years ago.
Join Digital Influence for a FREE marketing seminar where we'll unpack what's actually changing, what's worth paying attention to, and what your business can be doing now to stay visible, relevant and ready for what's next.
No jargon. No complicated tech speak. Just practical insights, real examples and an honest look at where marketing is heading.
What we'll cover
The Big Marketing Shift of 2026
What's genuinely changed, what's just hype, and where businesses should be focusing their marketing right now.
AI Visibility: Get Recommended & Remembered
When someone asks an AI tool for "the best [your service] near me", is your business being recommended? We'll explain how AI decides which businesses to mention and what you can do to improve your visibility.
The New Rules of Websites
Your website isn't just there to convince customers anymore. It's also helping AI understand your business and decide whether it can confidently recommend you. We'll reveal the seven pages that matter.
The Digital Influence Anti-AI Strategy
It sounds counter-intuitive, especially coming from a marketing agency that uses AI every day. We'll explain what our Anti-AI Strategy means, why we've developed it, and where we believe humans still matter most.
Real Video & YouTube
Perfectly polished content is making way for something more useful: real, human and helpful video. We'll explore why video builds trust and what this means for the way businesses approach content and YouTube.
Google Local: Make Your Business Easier to Find
Your Google Business Profile is more important than ever. We'll show you why Google Local is becoming an important source of information for both customers and AI, and how to make it work harder for your business.
