Future-Proof Your Marketing: The New Power of YouTube, AI & Strategic Storytelling

Is your current marketing strategy built on a foundation that's quickly becoming obsolete? Award-winning author and TV producer Aurora Winter joins Harmonious at Lunch to explain why traditional SEO is losing its grip and what business leaders must do to stay visible. The new trifecta for authority? A presence on Amazon, dominance on YouTube (the world's #2 search engine), and a powerful story that ensures you're found by AI.

This episode details a modern content strategy for entrepreneurs feeling stretched thin. Aurora shares her contrarian approach to YouTube—focusing on timely “breaking news” over crowded evergreen content—and reveals the simple first step any business can take to leverage strategic storytelling. Learn how collecting compelling stories can add up to 27x more perceived value to your offerings and what it means to create content where “even if you lose, you win.”
