    Generative Engine Optimization - ChatGPT Search & Google AI Overviews, with Tim Cameron-Kitchen

    In this episode of The New Frontier, Max is joined by Tim Cameron-Kitchen, (youtube) founder of Exposure Ninja, a leading digital marketing agency pioneering in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Exposure Ninja was among the first to explore ranking strategies for Google's AI overviews and how businesses can adapt to ensure visibility in AI-powered search experiences. Tim explains how search behavior is shifting, citing statistics like ChatGPT reaching 300 million weekly active users by December 2024 and Google’s first-ever decline in UK user numbers, signaling a shift away from traditional search engines. He emphasizes that AI search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews are increasingly replacing Google searches, making it crucial for businesses to optimize for these new platforms. Key strategies for Generative Engine Optimization discussed by Tim & Max include crafting concise answers, leveraging third-party content, publishing original data, and engaging in digital PR to secure mentions on authoritative sites. Tim also emphasizes the importance of structuring content for AI readability and ensuring key brand messages are embedded across the web. The conversation wraps up with insights on how businesses can track and improve their presence in AI search results, including testing AI-generated responses about their brand and creating custom GPTs to enhance visibility. Tim underscores the need for agility in the shifting search landscape, advising companies to stay proactive in adapting their content strategies.

  2. Scaling a D2C Brand to $50M: Ruroc's growth and hostile Investor takeover

    Scaling a D2C Brand to $50M: Ruroc's growth and hostile Investor takeover

    In this blockbuster episode of The New Frontier, we dive into the story of Daniel Rees, the founder of Ruroc, a direct-to-consumer ski helmet company that achieved explosive growth but faced devastating setbacks after bringing venture capital investors on board. Ruroc was propelled by bold marketing and customer-centric innovation. Daniel’s decision to expand into motorcycle helmets through crowdfunding success attracted VC interest, culminating in a £3 million investment. However, the deal gave investors significant control over key decisions, setting the stage for future challenges. After scaling Ruroc to $50 million ARR, Daniel received two transformative acquisition offers, including a £70 million bid that would have provided life-changing wealth for him and his family. Despite these compelling offers, his VC partner vetoed both deals, chasing a higher valuation of £120-£150 million. Meanwhile, operational challenges mounted, from quality control issues in China to the Suez Canal blockage and pandemic-related disruptions. These setbacks strained Ruroc’s cash flow, putting Daniel in impossible situations. Ultimately, Daniel stepped away from the company he built. Under VC control, Ruroc’s revenues plummeted to $10 million. This episode serves as a powerful lesson for founders about the risks of equity financing, the importance of retaining control, and the high stakes of aligning long-term vision with investor priorities. It’s a must-listen for entrepreneurs navigating the complex world of scaling a startup with outside capital.

    2024 AI 'Wrapped': Reviewing the biggest AI launches of the year

    In this listener-favourite format, Max and Jo review and reflect on the biggest AI launches in 2024. 2024 was a massive year of AI innovation across the board, with companies raising a staggering $38 billion in funding. OpenAI led the charge with its revolutionary o1 model, designed to “think before it acts” through chain-of-thought reasoning. Unlike traditional generative AI, o1 tackles multi-step, complex problems with human-like accuracy, excelling in benchmarks like the International Mathematics Olympiad and GPQA. This breakthrough signals the dawn of agentic AI systems, paving the way for billions of autonomous agents in ecommerce, personal productivity, and specialized roles like software engineers or lawyers. Anthropic expanded its Claude lineup with Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus models, each tailored for speed, balance, and advanced reasoning, respectively. The launch of Claude Artifacts and Projects introduced a collaborative digital workspace, while Anthropic Agents enabled AI systems to operate computers autonomously, revolutionizing automation workflows. Google’s NotebookLM, powered by Gemini 1.5, emerged as a standout productivity tool, capable of summarizing and connecting insights across diverse content formats. Its Audio Overview feature further elevated learning by transforming materials into engaging, on-the-go discussions. Tech giants Amazon and Walmart also made strides in AI-powered retail. Amazon's Rufus, a personal shopping assistant, streamlined product recommendations and price tracking, while Walmart unveiled Wallaby, a sophisticated AI model leveraging decades of customer data to enhance online and in-store shopping. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s SearchGPT brought a new AI-driven search experience, Voice introduced natural speech synthesis, and SORA redefined video creation with AI-generated clips. Together, these innovations mark a transformative year for AI, reshaping industries and everyday experiences alike.
