It’s Reshaping Every Step From First Click to Closed Deal.** You’ve seen the headlines. “AI is changing search.” “LLMs are disrupting marketing.” “The funnel is dead.” And sure, there’s truth in all of that. But here’s what most of those miss: AI isn’t just changing how people find you. AI search tools (LLMs) are already driving millions of high-intent calls to small businesses across every sector, from Legal to Lawn Care, Healthcare to Hospitality. We’re seeing a collapse of the traditional funnel. Callers from AI search have higher sales intent and move much faster than traditional searchers – because the AI has already done the “vetting” for them. It’s compressing the research phase – from the moment someone asks an AI tool like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity a question to the moment they book an appointment or sign a contract, the full journey can now be completed within large language models (LLMs). **When that happens, there’s less time for:** - Understanding key AI and LLM trends that can unveil new opportunities. - Attributing which AI platform drove each inbound call, form fill, or chat. - Getting a unified view that connects AI-referred leads to actual revenue, not just sessions and clicks. For agencies serving small and mid-sized businesses, that’s a big deal. The good news? You don’t need to overhaul everything overnight. You just need to understand where AI now sits in the whole marketing funnel and lead cycle, and start aligning around it. ## Your Guide To Track & Improve Your Visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini & Perplexity Most teams are running outdated SEO strategies that are designed for a world where someone types a query into Google, clicks a few links, reads some reviews, and maybe fills out a form next week. Now, prospects and shoppers talk directly to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity to research and receive data-driven outputs, which creates new brand touchpoints. ## 1. Identify Which AI Platforms Are Driving Your Visitors Each LLM and answer engine has different logic, leading to different outputs for the same prompts. It’s important to understand which AI chatbots are aligned with your brand before making decisions that inform a larger AI search or SEO strategy. ### Different LLMs Are Driving Leads In Different Industries Not all AI platforms send leads the same way. - **ChatGPT = Speed.** ChatGPT dominates overall lead volume at 90.1% of AI-referred leads, with especially strong numbers in healthcare and automotive industries, where people want instant options. - **Perplexity = Research.** Perplexity accounts for 6.3%, but it punches well above its weight in high-consideration sectors. In Travel & Hospitality and Manufacturing, nearly one in ten AI leads comes from Perplexity, roughly ten times the rate seen in other industries. - **Google’s Gemini** holds 2.4% of AI-referred leads and is gaining traction in Business Service and Manufacturing, likely because users lean on its Google Workspace integration. - **Claude**, with 1.2% of lead generation, is carving out a niche in both Real Estate verticals and also with Marketing Agencies. Especially in areas where consumers tend to do more specific and detailed research before reaching out. ### How To Accurately Track AI Prompt Visibility AI search isn’t one channel. It’s a set of distinct platforms, each with different behaviors and industry strengths. So, repeat this AI prompt research phase for each LLM. 1. **Identify the LLMs that matter most for your vertical.** Use the data above as a starting point. If you’re in healthcare or automotive, prioritize ChatGPT visibility. High-consideration service? Pay attention to Perplexity. B2B or manufacturing? Gemini should be on your radar. 2. **Test how each platform describes your business.** Go to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude and ask them questions your customers would ask. “Who’s the best [your service] in [your market]?” See if you’re being recommended. If not, note who is and what content those competitors have that you don’t. 3. **Create content that answers the questions AI platforms are fielding.** LLMs favor well-structured, authoritative, fact-rich content. Publish service pages, FAQs, comparison guides, and local content that directly answer the kinds of questions consumers ask these platforms. ## 2. Connect AI Traffic To Actual Conversions Connecting AI-driven leads to actual revenue in your reporting is key to understanding how to prioritize your marketing activities. Without visibility into AI lead attribution, you’re making decisions in the dark, which is an expensive place to be. However, if you can identify AI as the source of your best leads, you instantly know how to pivot your SEO strategy. ### How To Track AI Traffic & Attribute Conversions Across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity As more money flows through AI search, the ability to attribute leads from specific LLMs isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between knowing what’s working and throwing budget at a black box. What you need is the ability to trace a lead from the AI platform where it originated, through the call, form, or chat where it converted, all the way to the revenue it generated. That full-funnel visibility is what separates data-driven teams from everyone else. 1. **Implement LLM-specific attribution.** Use a platform that can identify which AI model referred each lead. CallRail’s AI search engine attribution, for example, automatically tags whether an inbound call came from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude, not just “AI.” That level of granularity is what makes it possible to actually optimize by channel. 2. **Create custom GA4 channel groups for AI traffic.** In Google Analytics, go to Admin > Data Display > Channel Groups and create a custom channel group that isolates AI referral traffic by source. This lets you compare AI-driven sessions and conversions against your other channels. 3. **Add “How did you hear about us?” to your intake process.** Self-reported attribution (SRA) is a simple but powerful complement to digital tracking. Add it to your intake forms and train front-desk or sales staff to ask on calls. CallRail’s SRA feature lets you capture this data at the conversation level, so you can compare what callers say against what your analytics show. The gaps will reveal exactly where your tracking is falling short. ### Connect AI Traffic to Calls, Forms & Sales Pipelines Call tracking lives in one platform. Form submissions in another. Text conversations somewhere else entirely. Sound familiar? When your lead data is fragmented like that, it’s surprisingly hard to answer basic questions. Which campaigns drive your best leads? Is AI search actually improving results? Where are leads falling off between first contact and conversion? Make sure you are monitoring every lead interaction for complete funnel visibility. Teams need clear insight into every conversation-whether it comes through calls, forms, texts, or chats. And by channel- Paid Search, Video, SEO, Paid Social, and Content, for example. Unifying those touchpoints isn’t just a reporting upgrade. It’s the foundation for any AI-ready lead strategy. Without it, every optimization decision you make is based on an incomplete picture. And in a landscape moving this fast, incomplete data leads to costly missteps. ### How To Attribute Calls & Form Fills To AI Search Take a good look at what is happening with your Voice Assistants. Are forms going to a shared inbox and being missed? Are calls not being answered while another line is in use or after business hours? How long is it taking to follow up with leads? Are those leads going to the competition after you miss the first call? 1. **Consolidate your lead tracking into one platform.** If calls, forms, texts, and chats are living in separate tools, you’re creating blind spots. CallRail’s unified lead intelligence platform captures every touchpoint in a single dashboard, so you can see the full customer journey from first AI search to closed deal, and finally answer the question: which channels are actually driving revenue? 2. **Map every conversion point to a marketing source.** For each way a lead can reach you -phone call, web form, text, live chat- make sure you can trace it back to the campaign, channel, or keyword that drove it. Use dynamic number insertion for calls and hidden fields on forms to capture source data automatically. 3. **Build a weekly reporting cadence around lead quality, not just volume.** Don’t just count leads, score them. Review which sources produce leads that actually convert to appointments and revenue. This is the reporting your clients care about, and it’s how you prove the value of your work. ## 3. Respond Faster To High-Intent AI Traffic 28% of business calls go unanswered. Many of those leads never call back. Take a good look at your Voice Assistants here. Are your forms going to a shared inbox where they sit unread? Are calls going unanswered because another line is busy or it’s after hours? How long does it take your team to follow up with a new lead? And if you miss that first call from an AI-referred prospect who already has high intent and is ready to buy. Are they going straight to your competitor? Right now, AI search can understand your customers in real time and answer any question they need, making them perfectly ready to convert into a lead. Now, it’s you who has to be ready. ### AI Leads Convert Faster. Respond Immediately. Think about how the traditional funnel used to work. Someone searches, browses a few sites, reads some reviews, maybe sleeps on it, then reaches out. There were days, sometimes weeks, of consideration built into the process. AI has collapsed that timeline dramatically, and AI-directed callers skip the browsing phase entirely. They’ve already done their research inside the LLM. By the time they call, they’re ready to make a decision. And they expect you to be ready, too. When a prospect has been pre-qualified by an AI recommendation, every minute of delay costs you revenue. And the stakes go beyond individual calls. On platforms like Google, answer speed directly impacts your ad rankings. Faster response times earn better placements on Local Service Ads and PPC -meaning slow follow-up doesn’t just lose you a lead, it quietly erodes your visibility and drives up your cost per lead over time. The agencies winning in an AI-search world aren’t just the ones showing up in LLM recommendations. They’re the ones ready to convert the moment the phone rings -day or night. ### Apply AI Where Your Team Is Stretched Thinnest: Use AI to Capture & Qualify Leads Automatically You can’t automate everything. But knowing where to apply AI, specifically, where your agency or internal team is most stretched, is the difference between using it effectively and adding technology for its own sake. For most agencies and SMBs, the highest-impact bottleneck is follow-up. If your clients are missing calls, responding slowly, or losing leads somewhere between the first touch and a booked appointment, that’s exactly where AI can deliver immediate, measurable value. The key to success here is utilizing AI-powered platforms that can answer inbound calls around the clock, qualify leads in real time, capture intake details, and even book appointments automatically. Early adopters have seen answered calls increase by 44%. That’s not a marginal improvement. It’s the kind of shift that directly impacts revenue and client retention. ### How To Set Up AI-Assisted Lead Handling When you can connect your AI-assisted lead handling back to attribution data and revenue outcomes, you’re no longer just reporting on activities. You’re proving ROI. And that’s what earns long-term client trust- and moves agencies from being seen as just a lead source to being a true growth partner. 1. **Deploy an AI voice agent for after-hours and overflow calls.** Start with the windows where your team is least available -evenings, weekends, and lunch hours. CallRail’s Voice Assist answers, qualifies, and captures lead details automatically, so no high-intent caller falls through the cracks. Early adopters have seen answered calls increase by 44%. 2. **Automate follow-up texts immediately after missed calls.** If a call does go unanswered, trigger an automatic text within seconds: “Hi, we just missed your call -how can we help?” This simple automation recovers a meaningful percentage of leads that would otherwise be lost. 3. **Connect your AI lead handling back to attribution.** Make sure the leads captured by AI tools feed into the same reporting dashboard as your other channels. If your AI agent books an appointment at 9 pm on a Saturday, you should be able to trace that back to the Google Ad or AI search referral that started the journey. ## Start Tracking & Optimizing AI-Driven Leads Now The shift isn’t on the horizon. It’s already here. It’s time to build AI-aware attribution so you can see what’s actually driving leads, unify your data so you can act on it, and respond fast enough to capture the high-intent leads AI search is already sending your way.]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>leadgeneration</category> <category>seo</category> <category>ppc</category> <category>marketingstrategy</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.searchenginejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/featured-image-532.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unleashing the Yeti: How Cryptid Creatures Conquer Pop Culture and Marketing]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/unleashing-the-yeti-how-cryptid-creatures-conquer-pop-culture-and-marketing</link> <guid>unleashing-the-yeti-how-cryptid-creatures-conquer-pop-culture-and-marketing</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2026 08:00:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The Yeti's Reign in Media Almost every region has its own version of a mysterious, ape-like hominid that's been widely reported but never confirmed. The U.S. has **Bigfoot**, Australia has the Yowie, and South Africa has the Waterbobbejan. As for the Himalayan mountain range in Asia, the **Yeti (or Abominable Snowman)** is what springs to mind when you describe a bipedal and hirsute creature similar to Bigfoot. It's definitely one of the more well-known cryptids. After watching the new movie **The Yeti**, in AMC theaters on April 4 & 8 before heading to Digital on **April 10**, you may be inclined to see more fictional depictions of these iconic beasts. Out of all of them, the following ten examples, which either hail from cinema or the small screen, can be considered some of the best. Keep in mind, this curation, much like storytellers, takes a little creative license with the definition of a Yeti. --- ### The World of Yamizukan ![The World of Yamizukan – “Fairy in the Snow”](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/The-World-of-Yamizukan-Fairy-in-the-Snow.jpg?resize=740%2C416&ssl=1) Overshadowed by the similar horror anthology anime series called *Yamishibai*, *The World of Yamizukan* also deals in short, macabre stories. At roughly four minutes each, the episodes here are over before you know it. Out of all the thirteen episodes produced, **“Fairy in the Snow”** is a memorable, not to mention mean, entry. In this tale, a boy befriends what looks to be a living snowman, only to then realize his new pal is actually a monster in disguise. Drawn in the style of retro children's illustrations, this pulpy quickie leaves a mark, in spite of its brevity. --- ### Lost Tapes ![Lost Tapes – “Yeti”](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Lost-Tapes-Yeti.jpg?resize=740%2C416&ssl=1) *Lost Tapes* was a mockumentary and found-footage series that primarily covered monsters, cryptids, and supernatural creatures. Using the docuseries format, supposed experts offered their two cents in between the horror movie-like dramatizations. This one relevant episode, **“Yeti”**, followed the steps of other episodes, which were, namely, the limited exposure of the otherworldly subject in question. Only glimpses of its form or visage were available, but for the more hooked viewers, that was enough to keep them coming back for more. --- ### Half Human ![Half Human](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Half-Human.jpg?resize=740%2C416&ssl=1) After making waves with *Godzilla* (1954), Toho soon followed up with its second-ever kaijū movie: *Half Human*. But as of today, you cannot find this movie in its original form. **Controversy** has since kept it locked away, and from the looks of things, it may never be released to the public. Regarding the Abominable Snowman featured in *Half Human*, it's a respectable-looking effort that, subconsciously or not, influenced the appearance of Toho's King Kong. --- ### Goosebumps ![Goosebumps (2025)](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Goosebumps-Abominable-Snowman-of-Pasadena.jpg?resize=740%2C416&ssl=1) As you will see in this list, the Yeti/Abominable Snowman often travels outside of its natural habitat. Author R. L. Stine saw to it that the shaggy snow beast was part of his renowned series of children's books, *Goosebumps*; a variation of the creature crops up in the entry called *The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena*. In the 2015 movie based on the IP, a digital manifestation of that character adds to the general chaos. --- ### Monsters ![Monsters – “Far Below”](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Monsters-Far-Below.jpg?resize=740%2C555&ssl=1) The successor to *Tales from the Darkside* was indeed another anthology show: *Monsters*. For three seasons, this overlooked series never strayed far from its theme. Every episode delivers a monster of some kind, although the showrunners' interpretations weren't always as horrific as the things found in **Debra Hill**'s “Far Below”. This story ultimately reveals the existence of subterranean creatures that resemble Yetis. --- ### Jonny Quest ![Jonny Quest – “Monster in the Monastery”](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Jonny-Quest-1964-Monster-in-the-Monastery-Yeti.jpg?resize=740%2C557&ssl=1) Someone who has never watched *Jonny Quest* before may be surprised to learn that the namesake investigated the Yeti. Weird things, like cryptids, actually came up more than expected in this classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon. In **“Monster in the Monastery”**, the Quest crew suspects their hairy enemy is really pulling a *Scooby-Doo* on them. The end of the episode, however, reveals there's truth to the Yeti myth. Well, at least there is in the world of *Jonny Quest*. --- ### 50 States of Fright ![Scared Stiff Yeti](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/scared-stiff-yeti.jpg?resize=740%2C416&ssl=1) The monstrous guest in *50 States of Fright*'s Oregon-set episode, **“Scared Stiff”**, is essentially a Bigfoot, but hey, you can still lump it in with all the other vague, Yeti-like creatures of horror. That snowy setting also screams “Abominable Snowman”. Here, a taxidermist's latest project attracts the attention of one very unhappy cryptid. --- ### The Real Ghostbusters ![The Real Ghostbusters / Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Real-Ghostbusters-Hob-Anagarak.jpg?resize=740%2C347&ssl=1) Liberties must be taken when hunting for Yetis and Abominable Snowmen in media. At a glance, Hob Anagarak (or The Hob) hasn't a thing to do with the aforementioned creatures. This ancient demon, who first appeared in the *The Real Ghostbusters* episode **“Cold Cash and Hot Water”**, is both red-brown in color and rooted in fire. Yet, when the same character was reused for the opening credits of *Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters*, The Hob's fur was now colored white. The model sheet also referred to him as **“Abominable Snowman”**. --- ### Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back ![The Empire Strikes Back](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Star-Wars-Wampa.jpeg?resize=740%2C416&ssl=1) After the huge interest in all things cryptids in the 1970s, it's no wonder that the 1980 *Star Wars* movie, *The Empire Strikes Back*, would feature Yeti-like monsters called **Wampas**. What may come as a bit of a shock is how scary this thing is; Mark Hamill's character awoke to the beast chowing down on another source of flesh before it came after him (and lost an arm for its effort). --- ### Abominable ![Abominable (2006)](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Abominable-2006-Haley-Joel.jpg?resize=740%2C416&ssl=1) What is believed to be a killer Bigfoot in the 2006 indie monster movie, *Abominable*, could be a case of misidentification. Yetis and Abominable Snowmen don't have to be white in color, according to lore; they can just as easily be brown or reddish-brown. Creative storytelling also suggests their habitat isn't limited to Asia. This movie's specimen (or specimens, as the story later reveals) doesn't look like any other Bigfoot in cinema, either. Its face is eerily humanlike.]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>yeti</category> <category>cryptids</category> <category>popculture</category> <category>horror</category> <category>media</category> <enclosure url="https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-04-093621.png?resize=1000%2C600&ssl=1" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[OpenAI CMO Kate Rouch Steps Down to Focus on Health: What's Next for AI Marketing Leadership?]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/openai-cmo-kate-rouch-steps-down-to-focus-on-health-whats-next-for-ai-marketing-leadership</link> <guid>openai-cmo-kate-rouch-steps-down-to-focus-on-health-whats-next-for-ai-marketing-leadership</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 08:00:24 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Kate Rouch Steps Down as OpenAI CMO Kate Rouch has announced her departure from the role of **Chief Marketing Officer** at OpenAI, citing health reasons. The company is now actively seeking a permanent replacement for this critical position. Rouch, who **joined OpenAI in December 2024**, has been battling breast cancer. She previously took a temporary leave last summer for treatment before returning in the fall. However, she now feels the need to prioritize her recovery full-time. In a heartfelt post on LinkedIn, Rouch shared, "At a certain point, you have to be honest about your limits. I’ve reached mine. I’m stepping down from my role to focus on recovery." She emphasized that courage isn't always about pushing harder but sometimes about choosing to prioritize health, family, and long-term well-being. ### Interim Leadership and Future Plans To ensure continuity, **Gary Briggs**, a former CMO of Facebook, is stepping in to help lead and recruit the next permanent CMO for OpenAI. Briggs also filled in for Rouch during her previous medical leave. Rouch expressed hope to return to OpenAI "in a different role in the future if my health allows." ### Marketing Growth Under Rouch's Tenure During her time at OpenAI, Rouch played a key role in expanding the marketing department. One of her notable hires was **Michael Tabtabai**, who joined last September as OpenAI’s first global creative chief. Under her leadership, OpenAI has been aggressively advertising its products, including **ChatGPT and Codex**, with notable campaigns such as spots in the past two Super Bowls. This transition marks a significant moment for OpenAI as it navigates its marketing strategy amidst rapid growth in the AI industry.]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>openai</category> <category>cmo</category> <category>marketingleadership</category> <category>ai</category> <category>health</category> <enclosure url="https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/crain/6BNN4T63MJBUFPJFYXRKMPALYQ.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[How a Kenyan Beekeeper's Swollen Face Photo Became a Viral Marketing Masterstroke]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/how-a-kenyan-beekeepers-swollen-face-photo-became-a-viral-marketing-masterstroke</link> <guid>how-a-kenyan-beekeepers-swollen-face-photo-became-a-viral-marketing-masterstroke</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 16:00:25 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[# How a Kenyan Beekeeper's Swollen Face Photo Became a Viral Marketing Masterstroke A honey seller in Kenya has reportedly gone viral for an unusual marketing idea: using a photo of his own visibly swollen face, allegedly taken after bee stings during harvesting, to promote his product. According to posts circulating on social media, the image is being used to signal that the honey is **raw and collected directly from hives**. While the story has gained widespread attention online, details about the seller’s identity and business remain limited. Even so, the image has sparked conversations about **authenticity, trust and creativity** in small-scale marketing. ## Swollen Face Label Proves Authenticity According to viral posts, the honey, sometimes linked to Asembo in Kenya, is marketed using the beekeeper’s swollen face as a key visual. While it is not independently confirmed how widely the image is used on official packaging, social media users claim it represents the **risks involved in traditional honey harvesting**. By highlighting rather than hiding this moment, the seller appears to add a human and relatable element to the product. The image, whether used on labels or promotional material, has become central to the story’s appeal. ## Concerns Over Fake Honey Add Context The idea has resonated partly because of broader concerns around **honey adulteration**. Reports and studies over the years have shown that in many markets, honey is sometimes diluted with sugar syrups or heavily processed while still being sold as pure. Although this specific seller’s practices are not independently verified, social media users frequently interpret the image as a form of proof that the honey is **harvested directly from hives**. This perception helps explain why the story has gained traction. ## Social Media Drives the Viral Moment The story appears to have spread primarily through platforms like **Facebook, Instagram and X**, where users have shared the image along with captions praising its honesty and humour. Many describe it as a clever example of turning a painful experience into an effective marketing tool. However, much of the narrative remains based on user-generated posts rather than verified reporting, which means some details may be simplified or exaggerated as the story circulates. ## Authenticity, Humour and Attention Despite the lack of fully confirmed details, the story highlights a broader trend in how small businesses attract attention. Consumers are increasingly drawn to products that feel **real and personal**, even if the presentation is unconventional. In this case, the beekeeper’s swollen face, whether used formally in branding or informally in promotion, has become a symbol of perceived authenticity. While key details about the seller and his business remain unverified, the viral story of a Kenyan honey seller using a bee-stung photo as proof of authenticity continues to capture attention online. If nothing else, it shows how a single, striking image, shared and amplified on social media, can shape perceptions, spark trust and turn an ordinary product into a global talking point.]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>viralmarketing</category> <category>authenticity</category> <category>socialmedia</category> <category>marketingstrategy</category> <category>storytelling</category> <enclosure url="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-130020932,width-1280,height-720,imgsize-924577,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-600/photo.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Can a Marketing Genius from Skims and Savage X Fenty Revolutionize Columbia Sportswear?]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/can-a-marketing-genius-from-skims-and-savage-x-fenty-revolutionize-columbia-sportswear</link> <guid>can-a-marketing-genius-from-skims-and-savage-x-fenty-revolutionize-columbia-sportswear</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[# The Challenge of Making an 88-Year-Old Brand Cool Again Scott Lloyd, a **Gen-Z-age marketer** known for his work at **celebrity disruptor brands** like **Skims** and **Savage X Fenty**, has taken on a new role: bringing his growth expertise to **Columbia Sportswear**, an 88-year-old outdoor label. His task is to help the brand catch up with modern trends and appeal to younger audiences. ![Scott Lloyd, a Gen-Z-age marketer who helped grow Savage X Fenty and Skims, is now helping Columbia catch-up with the times.](https://img.businessoffashion.com/resizer/v2/54QXVIFZOFFFHLMCQMRWA5X7QI.jpg?auth=c7d0cb860a3749edf8763e880d7dce86401ee7315b222a2bf21be3cd8fed1f61&width=1440) ## From Disruptor Brands to Legacy Labels Lloyd's background includes leading growth strategies at **Skims**, founded by Kim Kardashian, and **Savage X Fenty**, Rihanna's lingerie line. These brands are celebrated for their **innovative marketing** and ability to connect with **millennial and Gen-Z consumers**. Now, he aims to apply similar tactics to Columbia, which has struggled to stay relevant in a fast-evolving market. ## The Stakes for Columbia Sportswear Columbia Sportswear, established in 1938, faces intense competition from newer, trendier outdoor and athleisure brands.
