AI Beyond Content: How to Understand Your Buyer, Sharpen Your Message, and Market Smarter

• Workshop Room 3

Asking AI to write a caption, email, or blog post is the easy part.

The bigger advantage is using AI to better understand who you’re trying to reach, what matters to them, how they make decisions, and what your business needs to communicate to become the one they choose and prefer.

In this hands-on workshop, presented by Verizon Small Business Digital Ready, branding and growth strategists Takicha and Warrick Roundtree take business owners beyond basic prompting and content creation.

Attendees will learn how to give AI better context, uncover patterns in customer language and behavior, turn those insights into stronger positioning and messaging, and adapt that message across marketing without losing their brand voice.

The goal is not more AI-generated marketing. It’s more relevant marketing, built around a better understanding of the buyer.
