Trevor Pyle is Head of Marketing at Profound, the platform helping brands understand and optimize how they show up in AI search engines like ChatGPT and Claude.

In this episode, Trevor makes the case that the face of marketing is changing faster than most teams realize. Answer engines are becoming the primary way people discover products and make decisions. SEO is not dead but the rules have fundamentally shifted. And the marketers who will win are those who can operate like engineers, think like media companies, and build aura in a world where AI controls discovery.

We also get into how Profound thinks about brand building, events as a growth channel, attribution in a post-performance era, and why the marketing engineer is the most important hire you're not making yet.

What we explore in this episode:

→ How to build brand aura and why it matters for AI discovery

→ Why content under 13 weeks old is what LLMs actually pull from

→ How Profound uses events as a core demand generation channel

→ The rise of the marketing engineer and what this role actually does

→ How to think about attribution when performance channels no longer tell the full story
