Destination Discourse

35: Are Websites Dying or Just Evolving? (Tim Peter)


Listen Later

Welcome back to Destination Discourse! In this episode, we’re joined by digital strategist, author, and podcast host Tim Peter to challenge and expand on ideas from our most popular episode to date — Episode 26.

We dive deep into the evolving role of websites, the risks and opportunities presented by AI-generated RFPs, and whether the future of digital customer interaction really requires throwing everything out and starting from scratch.

In this episode:
 • Tim shares feedback and friendly fire on Stuart’s “death of the website” thesis
 • Adam debuts an AI-generated RFP built from Episode 33’s transcript
 • A debate unfolds around the role of human creativity vs AI in vendor selection
 • Tim introduces his latest book Digital Reset: Driving Marketing and Customer Acquisition Beyond Big Tech
 • We explore how DMOs can future-proof themselves in an era of agents, algorithms, and attention shifts
 • Stuart and Tim agree: the future is about first principles, better content, emotional resonance, and making your brand the prompt

💬 “If your brand isn’t in the prompt, you’re already losing.” – Tim Peter
