Podcast Episode

EP101 – Kara Stokes Discusses the Impact of AI on the Industry

Kara Stokes has successfully transitioned from a copywriter to a brand message coach and is now making waves as an AI influencer for small businesses. With over six years of expertise, she’s launched a second venture that teaches small business owners, particularly women, how to use Artificial Intelligence in marketing to gain a competitive edge. Her work focuses on content strategy, brand voice, and identity, aiming to empower women in the rapidly evolving AI space.

In an episode of the Social Circus, host Sarah Thomson chats with Kara Stokes about her journey from copywriting to coaching and her deep dive into AI. Kara discusses the importance of creating a brand identity that emotionally connects with customers, moving beyond visuals to establish meaningful brand principles. She shares insights on how AI is reshaping copywriting and reveals her personal and innovative uses of AI, from managing schedules to creating an AI cheerleader, all while exploring the future of creativity in the age of AI.

Key Takeaways:

  • Brand identity is a critical emotional connect between your business and customers, going beyond visual elements to how the business communicates and presents itself.

  • Kara advocates for “brand principles” over “brand values” to ensure a business’s actions are in alignment with its declared ethos.

  • The AI revolution in copywriting has both shaken the industry and presented new opportunities for innovation and efficiency.

  • AI can serve as a valuable tool in life management and personal motivation, demonstrating versatility beyond content creation.

  • Thoughtful engagement with AI tools can refine and accelerate content development, even for experienced professionals like Kara.

In this episode of “The Social Circus,” we meet Chris from “Head to Heart.” She’s all about helping women shake off self-doubt and find their inner strength.

Chris talks a lot about squashing those negative thoughts we all have and replacing them with hopeful ones. She shares her own story, a moment that changed her life and made her want to help others. Her program is all about digging deep to find what really matters to her clients, which changes not just how they think but how they live.

2023 was absolutely YEAR OF THE BOT 🤖 (I’m not sure this will be added to the Chinese calendar but it should be).

Whilst 2023 saw an explosion of AI tools hit the market.

ChatGPT took the world by storm and currently has over 180 million users. When it launched, it took less than 10 days to get to 1 million users. In December 2023, they reported over 1.6 billion users.

Now those are some big numbers but what does it mean for you and your business {{firstname}}?

BIG THINGS!

It means that millions of people are using AI to support them in their business, which is both exciting and terrifying.

AI is likely to be the single biggest tool that will propel your business forward.

I love it so much - I have a tab with Chatty (my nickname for ChatGPT) open all the time - ready for our next conversation.

You see, the uses of AI are both wide-reaching and profound.

We are going to look back at 2023 as the year the AI revolution started.

As a business owner you DO NOT want to get left behind.

Using AI offers significant competitive advantages.

I want your business to be on board NOT left behind.

Now my Ultimate Launch Toolkit comes with a BONUS just focused on AI. It’s called 20 AI Hacks for your next launch. In this bonus section, I share 20 ideas on how you can use AI. I promise this is going to transform your launch efforts and I hope, how you approach many tasks in your business.

The whole toolkit is designed to save you so much time and energy and this means embracing new tools like AI to skyrocket your results.

Remember, the toolkit is currently available for the special introductory price of just $97 - the regular price will be $297.
