Consumers no longer follow a predictable path from awareness to purchase.

They discover businesses through social media, online communities, reviews, referrals, search engines, and increasingly, AI tools. That’s why the traditional marketing funnel is becoming less useful for understanding how people actually make decisions.

They discuss:

• Why the marketing funnel is losing relevance
• How AI is influencing consumer research and decision-making
• The importance of education-driven content
• Building trust through testimonials and referrals
• Repurposing content across multiple channels
• Using AI to simplify planning, analytics, and content creation
