Everyone's publishing, nobody's standing out

More volume wasn't really the goal, but it's what you've ended up with. And now the problem is making any of it matter.

It all starts to sound the same

When everyone's using the same tools and the same prompts, the output turns into slop. Technically fine. Spiritually dead. Buyers can tell, even if they can't say why.

The AI smell is real

Only 32% of buyers say they trust AI-generated content. If yours reads like it was produced by a machine, it's working against you. These days, the uncanny valley is littered with whitepapers.

The trust gap. Real, also

The stuff that converts is the stuff AI can't fake. A real opinion. An actual point of view. Something that sounds like a person who's done this before.

A publishing engine isn't a competitive advantage

AI gave everyone the ability to publish more but it didn't make anybody more memorable. The advantage sits with whoever has something worth saying, said in a way worth reading.

Content that sounds written by someone who knows what they're talking about.

Senior editorial thinking, exactly where you need it.

What you need

Something worth reading.

Senior editorial thinking, exactly where you need it.

i

A voice that doesn't sound like everyone else's

Copy with a point of view. An opinion. Something that makes a reader stop and think "yes, that's exactly it." The kind of thing that only gets written by someone who's been around long enough to have something to say.

Written for B2B tech teams competing in crowded categories where sounding different is the only meaningful advantage left.
ii

Content built for how buyers buy now

94% of buyers use AI to research vendors. Your content needs to be clear, credible and specific enough to survive being summarised, cited and compared. Fluffy doesn't make the cut.

Built for teams whose buyers are informed, sceptical and moving fast through a shortlist that was already half-formed before sales got involved.
iii

Social proof that does real work

Case studies, thought leadership and campaign copy that gives buyers something to bring to the committee. Evidence. The kind that holds up when a CFO asks a hard question.

Developed for complex B2B sales environments where credibility is the deciding factor and generic proof won't cut the mustard.

Applied in practice

If the content's going out but not cutting through, here's where we start.

i

Campaign and email copy

Sharp, specific, human. Built to earn a click from someone who's already seen everything.

ii

Thought leadership and POV content

Blogs, articles and executive content that has something to say and says it clearly.

iii

Case studies and proof content

Evidence structured around buying criteria. Specific enough to be credible. Built to travel inside a deal.

iv

Homepage and product page rewrites

Clear, intent-led copy that reflects the product you have now and the buyer you're talking to.

v

AI-visibility optimisation

Restructuring existing pages so they perform in AI-driven search environments and traditional results.

vi

Content audits and refresh programmes

Finding the pieces worth saving and making them do more work. Less publishing, more impact.

Who does this

Hi. I'm Mike.

I've spent a decade writing for organisations where generic wasn't an option. Meta. Google Cloud. Enterprise tech, AI infrastructure, compliance. Places where the buyer is smart, the category is crowded and the content has to work harder than average.

I know what "good enough" costs you. The blog post that looked fine. The campaign that went out on time. The case study nobody shared. My job is to make content that ships (and sticks).

Frequently asked questions

On AI content and standing out

Why does all B2B content sound the same now?

Because most of it starts from the same place — the same AI tools, the same prompts, the same generic briefs. When everyone uses the same content engine with the same inputs, the outputs converge. Technically fine. Completely forgettable.

Is AI-generated content hurting our brand?

It can be. Only 32% of B2B buyers say they trust AI-generated content. If yours reads like it was produced by a machine — even if it wasn't — it's working against you. The trust gap between AI output and buyer confidence is real and growing.

How is the content review process becoming a bottleneck?

AI has made it easy to produce content at volume. What it hasn't done is make it easier to review, quality-check or approve it. Teams are now shipping more than ever but the review process is being asked to handle significantly more output with the same resource. That's where quality slips.

What can AI not do in B2B content?

AI can't have a genuine opinion. It can't draw on real experience of a specific industry or buying process. It can't make the editorial judgment call that separates content worth reading from content that just fills a slot. That's still a human job — and in a world of AI-generated noise, it's a more valuable one than ever.

How do B2B buyers research vendors using AI?

94% of B2B buyers now use AI during their research. They're asking AI assistants to summarise vendors, compare options and surface proof points. That means your content needs to be clear, specific and structured well enough to survive being summarised, cited and compared. Vague content doesn't make the shortlist.

How do you make B2B content stand out in 2026?

Have something worth saying and say it clearly. Specific beats generic. A real point of view beats balanced neutrality. Content that sounds like it was written by someone who's actually done this before earns attention in a way that polished but hollow content never will.
