Most of the decision happens before sales. In this episode, Gini Dietrich breaks down Visibility Engineering and how to use the PESO Model© to build anchor hubs that become the safest thing to cite, earn analyst/AI reuse, and measure results. You’ll leave with a copy-and-paste Anchor Hub outline and a 30-day action plan.

In a collapsed-funnel world, “action-oriented” isn’t a button—it’s a byproduct of trust. Today, Gini Dietrich digs into how reputation becomes rank (and revenue), the metrics that prove it, and a simple PESO Model© sequence to lower your cost to convert.

Share this episode with a friend, exec, or client who’s stuck debating brand vs. performance.

AI collapsed drafting time—but clients still buy certainty: accuracy, brand safety, and results. 

In this episode, Gini Dietrich lays out a practical playbook to stop itemizing hours and start contracting standards, so you keep fees (and win bigger scopes) in the AI era.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to explain “AI speed” without triggering a discount

The 10 clauses to codify standards (provenance, data, IP, QA)

Fixed/outcome pricing models that hold (and grow) fees

Scripts for procurement, legal, and the “show me your prompts” crowd

The internet isn’t dead—it’s haunted. This week, Gini Dietrich explores the “dead internet” theory and why bots now outnumber humans online, which changes how we plan, measure, and defend our brands. 

You’ll learn how to replace vanity metrics with human signals, ship proof-of-work content (original data, named experts, receipts), add provenance to your media, and rewire your PESO Model for verified attention.

Highlights:

Why dashboards glow while revenue stalls—and how to fix it

Owned as your fortress: proof stack, schema, provenance

Earned relationships that reduce uncertainty (and get the call)

Shared in smaller rooms that create real conversation

Paid that buys attention you can verify, not impressions you can’t

If you want to keep building trust and visibility in a ghosted web, this episode is your new playbook.

Synthetic sparks, real fires. 

Gini Dietrich unpacks how bot-created boycotts inflate “consensus,” jump to real influencers, and turn into costly crises.

She also covers the fast tells of inauthentic activity and the governance artifacts you should have queued up before anything explodes.

Takeaways • Diagnose manufactured outrage in minutes—no fancy tools required • The exact comms moves to make in the first 2–24 hours • What bots can’t fake (specificity, two-way friction, cross-channel corroboration) • How to prep: thresholds, roles, templates, stakeholder briefs

Generative AI is sliding into the “Trough of Disappointment.” The Atlantic is warning of an AI bubble. And if you’re a CMO chasing disconnected AI pilots without a plan, you could be next.

Ten billion dollars in pharma advertising just got a whole lot less effective. With Trump’s new memo cracking down on DTC ads—TV, social, digital, influencers, even online pharmacies—your pipeline may be at risk.

In this episode of the Spin Sucks Podcast, Gini Dietrich explains why disclosure-heavy ads will crush acquisition costs, how competitors are already shifting to PESO Model® strategies, and what you can do now to protect your market share.

Don’t wait until your board or investors start asking questions. The brands that move today will be taking market share by March.

For too long, marketing and communications have been judged by clicks, impressions, and vanity metrics. But those numbers don’t move a boardroom.

You’ll learn how to replace outdated reporting with PESO-driven visibility that proves growth in the language executives actually care about.

Why CEOs and CFOs rarely mention marketing on earnings calls

How AI-powered discovery is reshaping visibility and trust

You’ll learn:

Why AI personas are necessary today

How these platforms “think” and what they reward

What CMOs and comms leaders need to do differently

Four practical steps you can run in 90 days to show up in AI results
