What generative AI
actually is
Why it has changed everything in the last 12 to 18 months. The real world view. Where it helps, where it harms and where the opportunities sit for maritime marketers.
The eight ways teams really use AI
From idea generation to summarising to optimisation. Simple, practical buckets you can apply immediately.
Trust, truth and the human element
Speed is great, but brands still win through trust. How to keep the human, messy, relatable parts of marketing intact.
The biggest mistakes teams make with AI
The misconceptions and the Google‑search mindset that holds marketers back, plus how to fix them.
Why distribution
beats content
A key lesson from Andrew’s Myspace days. Good content is not enough. Great distribution wins, and AI can supercharge reach and conversion.
The risks ahead
From data governance to browser wars to AI agents. What matters now and what will shape 2026 and 2027.
