About this episode
In this episode, Andréa Jones shares her updated perspective on AI in marketing for 2026, discussing its impact on business owners and the importance of maintaining one's voice and strategy.
AI has changed a lot in the past year… and so have my thoughts on it. In this episode, I’m sharing my 2026 perspective on AI in marketing—what I’m using more, what I’m using way less, and why I think business owners need to stop outsourcing their voice, strategy, and judgment to tools that are really, really good at sounding confident… while also sometimes making things up. We’re talking about: AI as a shortcut (not a strategy) Why your standards need to get higher as AI gets better Where AI actually saves time—and where it quietly makes things worse Why your voice matters more now than ever And how to use AI inside a mindful marketing approach without turning your content into robot soup If you’ve been feeling a little “wait… is this helping or hurting?” about AI lately, this one’s for you. ✨ Free AI Audio Series + ChatGPT Starter Pack Short, practical episodes on how I actually use AI in my business (without sounding like a robot) You’ll learn: How I write captions with AI (without the cringe) My “vibe check” editing process What I don’t use AI for—and why How I turn testimonials into better copy 👉 Grab it here: onlinedrea.com/ai 🎧 This Episode is Sponsored By Riverside If…
