"For us, first and foremost was safety - just brand safety, user safety, how we're thinking about [it] and how [OpenAI intends] for us to show up and understand how data will be handled. Second was understanding the data that we would be getting back from the platform to help evaluate if this is effective or is it not. And then third is just the level of partnership and ensuring that we weren't just going to be slotted in and never hear from them again."
"I've been in the marketing world for long enough, in the tech world for long enough to know these things take time. Because of that, I have the perspective of: 'we'll go with them on this journey, as long as it's something that we think our customers are seeking.'"
The Knot Worldwide is among the first brands to advertise on ChatGPT through OpenAI's pilot program that began in January. The digital wedding planning platform is navigating the early stages of this new advertising channel, prioritizing testing and learning rather than immediate results. CMO Jenny Lewis emphasizes that generative AI platforms have disrupted traditional search, and marketers are still understanding the broader implications. The Knot's approach focuses on three key areas: brand and user safety, data collection for effectiveness evaluation, and maintaining active partnership with OpenAI. The brand is adapting its search marketing strategy for the AI landscape while launching a new app within ChatGPT.
