Make AI Fall for your Brand — A Happy Hour for Evolving Agencies
It takes chemistry, not keywords.
An evening on how brands get mentioned, cited and recommended by AI, and how your agency can turn that into new client work.
A talk by Kashif Zaman · Drinks on us · Sponsored by OtterlyAI and Hosted by Mauj in partnership with CIMA.
Get an inside look at real agency work, what it reveals about earning AI's attention, and how to bring that thinking into your own client relationships.
How to Become AI's Answer
A real story from agency work. A new opportunity for yours.
Kashif Zaman, Principal at Mauj, will use practical work in AI search visibility, from answer engine optimization (AEO) to generative engine optimization (GEO), to show what makes AI mention, cite and recommend a brand, and how agencies can turn those insights into a service clients value.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of:
What earns the recommendation: the signals that shape how brands appear in AI answers.
Where your agency fits: how strategy, search, content and PR connect around the opportunity.
How to open the client conversation: where to start, what to ask and what the next step could look like.
