Owning Your Audience in the AI Era by beehiiv x Muck Rack
An intimate conversation for communicators, creators, reporters, publishers, and marketers
As AI reshapes discovery, search, media distribution, and audience behavior, brands, journalists, creators, and publishers are all confronting the same question: who owns the audience relationship?
Hosted by Muck Rack and beehiiv during Cannes Lions, this invite-only roundtable over wine and light fare will bring together a curated group for a candid discussion about audience ownership, trust, AI-driven distribution, and the future of media.
The conversation will explore how AI search, algorithms, and platform dependency are forcing creators, publishers, and brands to rethink growth, monetization, and direct audience relationships. As platforms increasingly control discovery, owned audiences have become one of the few durable ways to maintain direct access to communities, customer data, revenue, and long-term business independence.
