In Action (the tape)

• Buzzwords

• Generic headlines

Owned — Headlines lack a clear outcome or benefit.

Earned — Press mentions don't explain why the company matters.

Paid — Ads focus on brand name, not value.

Analytics — Conversion rate is low but unexplained.

AI — AI-generated copy lacks specificity.
