Episodes

AI Isn't Disrupting the PESO Model®. It's Proving It.
A new report says earned media is disrupting the PESO Model® for AI discoverability—and a second survey, published the same month, says paid media matters most. They can't both be right, and Gini Dietrich argues neither question is. In this week’s Spin Sucks episode, she walks through what both surveys found, why "which media type matters most" measures who you asked instead of what works, and the

AI Agents Are the New Gatekeepers
In this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode, Gini Dietrich explains why the AI persona you built last year just got promoted to referee, the only two signals it checks before it vouches for you, and the four moves to make before someone in your building tries to solve "the AI problem" with a bigger ad budget.

AI Visibility Is a PESO Model® Problem—and You're Closer Than You Think
Everyone is writing the same article about AI visibility: it's a new discipline, and—what luck!—they sell the thing that fixes it. Nope. AI systems reward probability, not popularity, and probability gets built through the integrated program communicators have been running for more than a decade: the PESO Model®.
In this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode, Gini Dietrich breaks down the speci

AI Visibility Starts With Trust—and You Can't AI Your Way Out of a Trust Problem
Everyone wants the AI visibility tool with the free trial and the dashboard. We don't have one to sell you, and neither does anyone else—because if AI isn't recommending your brand, that's usually a trust problem wearing a tooling costume.
In this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode, Gini Dietrich makes the case that trust is a supply chain with stations you cannot skip, and she walks through

The PESO Model® Diagnostic: Duolingo Built the Internet's Favorite Brand on Rented Land
Duolingo built the internet's favorite brand on rented land—the best shared media engine on the planet, run through one green owl on platforms it doesn't control. In this month's PESO Model® Diagnostic, Gini Dietrich looks at what the legend leaves out: an owned media record too thin to defend the brand when the 2025 "AI-first" backlash hit. You'll learn why Duo's chaos is actually disciplined cha

Your Org Chart is Sabotaging Your Brand
Your best work goes into review sounding like your brand, only to come out sounding like a terms-of-service update—and legal isn't actually to blame. Nearly 80% of CMOs tell Lippincott that bureaucracy regularly interferes with decision-making, and that's not a culture problem—it's a brand-erosion mechanism. In this episode of the Spin Sucks podcast, Gini Dietrich breaks down the difference betwee

Reputation Management Now Includes What AI Says About Your Brand
AI tools are already answering questions about your brand—to your buyers, your board, and the journalists who cover you—and they're confidently wrong often enough that one Minnesota company is suing Google for as much as $210 million over a lawsuit its AI invented. To make matters worse, Muck Rack research shows that in 29% of organizations, nobody owns this at all. In this episode, Gini Dietrich

How to Defend Your Marketing Budget in Language the CFO Actually Speaks
Gartner predicts that more than 40% of CMOs who push for bigger budgets this year will lose influence with the C-suite—because their asks never connect to what the business runs on. Here's the thing: your CFO's language has only four words—pipeline, risk, retention, and cost-to-acquire—and 'reach' isn't one of them. In this episode, I show you how to translate your work into those four numbers, wh

The PESO Model® Diagnostic: How HubSpot Turned Owned Media Into a Moat
HubSpot lost roughly 75% of its blog traffic to AI search—and grew revenue 19% anyway. Everyone wrote the obituary for content marketing, but the traffic that died was the content HubSpot never had the right to own, and everything built on real authority held. In Episode 4 of the PESO Model® Diagnostic, I break down what survived, what didn't, and how to tell which of your own content is an asset

How to Show Up Inside the Answer: A Visibility Engineering Playbook
Your buyers are asking their AI tool of choice who to trust—and if AI doesn't cite you, you don't exist. Communicators missed SEO once because it felt "too technical," and the Lippincott data says we're on track to repeat history with AI. In this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode, Gini Dietrich shares the five-move visibility engineering playbook, plus the moment Martin Waxman ran his own organiza

CMOs Don't Have an Influence Problem. They Have an Operating System Problem.
A new Lippincott study says only 28% of CMOs feel they have real influence in their organization—and your CEO has probably already seen it. Most people blame short-term thinking, but Gini Dietrich argues that the real problem is structural. CMOs are managing a pile of channels rather than running a system. You'll learn why the brand-versus-performance debate is a trap, why dumping budget into AI w

Inside the PESO Model® Certification
You understand the PESO Model®, so why does it still feel like a pile of tactics instead of a system that runs? In this episode, Gini Dietrich takes you inside the PESO Model Certification® she tore down and rebuilt—what changed, what she refused to touch, and who it's honestly not for. If you've ever understood something cold and still couldn't make it run, this one's for you.

The PESO Model® Diagnostic: What Peppa Pig Can Teach You About the Difference Between a Campaign and a System
A cartoon pig ran one of the most integrated campaigns I've seen in years—and it still leaves the most important question unanswered. In this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode, I run the Peppa Pig pregnancy campaign through the PESO Model® Diagnostic to show you the difference between a brilliant campaign and an actual operating system: one has a finale, the other never ends.
Take the PESO Model

The 4 PR and Marketing Metrics that Matter for AI Visibility
Your dashboard is full of green arrows—and your CFO still isn't impressed. That's because most of what we measure flatters us instead of informing us, and the numbers that actually matter in 2026 are the ones almost nobody is tracking yet.
In this episode, Gini Dietrich walks through the four metrics that survive the budget meeting—LLM visibility, citation frequency, narrative share of voice, an

Your Measurement Problem Isn't Really a Measurement Problem
You're doing the work—the content, the media, the campaigns—and the minute leadership asks what it's all worth, you've got nothing to hand them. So you go looking for a better dashboard. In this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode, Gini Dietrich explains why a measurement problem is almost never a measurement problem—it's the first place a broken system shows up—and shares the Diagnostic data provin

The Visibility Gap: Two Halves, One Operating System Problem
Google just announced the biggest change to Search in more than 25 years, and your CMO is about to ask if you're on top of it. You probably are — but the work doesn't have a name your leadership recognizes. On this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode, learn why the visibility gap has two halves, the vocabulary problem costing you budget, and the four moves to close both.

The PESO Model® Diagnostic: Inside the Liquid Death Operating System

The Six Stages of PESO Model® Maturity
The PESO Model® has six stages of maturity—and the data says 91% of communications teams are stuck in the bottom half of the ladder.
In this episode, Gini walks through the six stages (Foundation, Pilot, Scale, Systemize, Real-Time, and Leadership), what each one looks like inside real brands like Oracle, McDonald's, Dove, Sephora, Netflix, and Liquid Death, and how to find out where your team ac

AI Is Quietly Destroying Your Best Content
After 18 months of AI-assisted repurposing, most communications teams are quietly producing weaker, more generic content than they were producing two years ago. The leverage is real. The dilution is real, too.
In this episode, Gini Dietrich walks through the telephone game effect—and how you can fix it.

The New PESO Model® Graphic Is Here. So Are the Rules.
After 12 years and several refreshes, the PESO Model® has a new graphic — and Gini is drawing the line between free use and theft. In this episode, she discusses what changed, what the four outcomes (Authority, Credibility, Discovery, Growth) actually mean, how to read the graphic correctly, and what now requires a license. Download the graphic at spinsucks.com/peso-model-graphic. Use it well.

The PESO Model® Diagnostic: The Budweiser Super Bowl Ad
Budweiser won USA Today's Ad Meter for the 10th time—and while everyone was arguing Monday morning about the Clydesdale, the bald eagle, and whether "American Icons" was AI-assisted, the real story wasn't 60 seconds of creativity. It was whether the ad was part of a system.
In the first episode of the new PESO Model® Diagnostic series, Gini Dietrich runs Budweiser's "Made of America" program thro

Visibility Engineering Is the New Playbook for Earned Media
Earned media is still one of the most powerful credibility signals you can get, but in today’s AI-shaped market, a single hit is no longer enough. In this episode, Gini Dietrich explores visibility engineering, why disconnected media placements create noise instead of authority, and how to connect earned and owned media to build credibility that compounds. If you want to become the answer that kee

AI Visibility is Simply About Being More Credible
In this week’s Spin Sucks episode, Gini Dietrich explores why publishing more content is not enough to build authority in an AI-shaped market. Instead, the brands that win are the ones with clear positioning, consistent messaging, proof-backed content, and third-party validation that reinforces what they stand for. Tune in to learn how owned and earned media work together, why generic content fall

Women Are on the Front Line of AI Disruption
Women are on the front line of AI disruption, especially in communications, marketing, content, and other roles built on critical thinking, writing, and judgment. In this episode, Gini Dietrich unpacks Alex Karp’s comments about AI reducing the power of highly educated, often female professionals, what that reveals about who is most vulnerable as AI scales, and why this is a power problem as much

Hustle Culture, AI, and the Cost of Shallow Thinking
On this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode, Gini Dietrich explores how hustle culture trained us to confuse keeping up with actually understanding, why the performance of consumption is not the same thing as thinking, and what communicators, marketers, and leaders stand to lose when everything is optimized for speed.

The PESO Model® Was Built for This Moment
The PESO Model® did not become less relevant because of AI—it became more necessary. In this episode, Gini Dietrich breaks down how AI exposed the flaws in disconnected marketing and why modern paid, earned, shared, and owned media must work as an integrated system. She also explains why certification matters for marketers who want to move from knowing the acronym to knowing how to run it.

Measuring the PESO Model® Without Losing Your Mind
Measurement isn’t math. It’s storytelling with numbers—and in a PESO Model® operating system, it’s how you prove what changed (not what you did).
In this Spin Sucks episode, Gini Dietrich breaks measurement down for marketers who would rather alphabetize their spice drawer than open a dashboard. You’ll learn the outcome-first framework behind PESO measurement, how to stop reporting outputs and ac

Why the PESO Model® Falls Apart Without Integration
Running the PESO Model®as separate tactics creates noise, not momentum. In this episode, Gini Dietrich shares what PESO Model integration really is: repeatable decisions, a stop list that prevents chaos, and a one-page integration map that keeps everything connected.

How Shared and Paid Make the PESO Model® Operating System Move
In this episode of the Spin Sucks podcast, Gini Dietrich resets what shared and paid are actually for inside the PESO Model® operating system. She covers why these two areas feel like chaos, how to define “proven signals” before you spend, and how shared and paid work together to create consistent, compounding visibility in a world shaped by communities, creators, and AI-driven discovery.

The Visibility Engine: Owned and Earned Media
In this episode, Gini Dietrich unpacks the visibility engine: Owned and Earned media working together. Owned is your home base—structured expertise built on defendable themes, repeatable authority anchors, and proof. Earned is credibility transfer—validation you can’t buy that makes your expertise easier to trust, repeat, and surface across the web (and in AI answers).

The PESO Model Certification® is Now Built for AI Discovery
AI has changed discovery. Your audience is getting answers without clicking, and “post here, pitch there, boost this” doesn’t just feel scattered—it performs scattered. Gini Dietrich walks you through the 2026 PESO Model® Certification, rebuilt to help marketers and communicators run PESO as an operating system and engineer visibility, credibility, and trust across paid, earned, shared, and owned

Corporate Communications and the Cost of Silence
A powerful image out of Minnesota keeps resurfacing: federal agents inside a Target store, terrorizing employees and customers. Just the mere image collapses everything into the questions people are asking in real time: Am I safe at work? Am I safe while shopping?
When leaders respond with silence or vague calls for “de-escalation,” they create a vacuum filled by fear, rumor, and the message they

AI Comments Don’t Build Relationships
We’ve been told the growth strategy is simple: comment a lot, get noticed, build relationships, and win customers. But when busy professionals outsource those comments to AI, engagement turns into performance—and buyers can tell. In this episode, Gini Dietrich shares the “trust math” behind why AI comments backfire, how they create reputation debt, and what to do instead.

A PESO Model® Primer for Marketers and Communicators
The PESO Model® isn’t outdated—but many implementations are. In this episode, Gini Dietrich explains how the PESO Model has evolved from a framework into a marketing operating system designed for today’s reality: fewer journalists, more creators, AI-driven discovery, fragmented trust, and rising expectations for measurement.

Publicity Is Dead. PR Is Not.
Sir Martin Sorrell said, “PR is dead.” The PR industry responded. And the real issue isn’t whether he’s right—it’s why that line even sounds believable to leadership.
In this episode, Gini Dietrich separates publicity from PR, unpacks why executives often treat PR as a replaceable distribution channel, and explains what modern PR actually does in 2026: it builds credibility that compounds, educat

The PESO Model® in 2026: Evolved, Operational, and Built for the AI Era
The PESO Model® has evolved—and that evolution matters more than ever in 2026.
As AI accelerates execution and marketing teams are asked to deliver more with fewer resources, the real challenge isn’t whether to use AI. It’s whether your organization has a system strong enough to govern it.
In this episode, Gini Dietrich explains how the PESO Model has evolved from a framework into an operating s

The Visibility Engineering Metrics That Predict Demand
Most visibility programs fail because teams don’t know what to measure—or they measure too much, too late.
In this final episode of the Visibility Engineering series, Gini Dietrich breaks down three simple metrics that tell you whether your work is driving real pre-pipeline demand. No dashboards. No spreadsheets. Just signal.

Building Corroboration Loops to Power Your Visibility Engineering
Saying “we’re the leading provider” isn’t a strategy. Corroboration is.
In this episode, Gini Dietrich explores how to build corroboration loops—the external proof points that show up in trade outlets, creator newsletters, podcasts, and partner channels, and all lead back to your best content.
If you’re a senior marketer or communicator trying to move beyond vanity metrics and random thought lea

AI Looks for Author Footprints First

In this episode of the Spin Sucks Podcast, Gini Dietrich introduces author footprints: a simple way to turn your internal subject-matter experts into visible, credible sources for both humans and AI.

How to Measure Brand Awareness, Trust, and Reputation

Synthetic sparks, real fires.
Gini Dietrich unpacks how bot-created boycotts inflate “consensus,” jump to real influencers, and turn into costly crises.

The Visibility Engineer’s Manifesto
For too long, marketing and communications have been judged by clicks, impressions, and vanity metrics. But those numbers don’t move a boardroom.
Executives talk about pipeline, revenue, market share, and shareholder value. If your work isn’t tied to those outcomes, you’re invisible where it matters most.
In this episode of the Spin Sucks Podcast, Gini Dietrich introduces The Visibility Enginee

Meet Your New Buyer Persona: ChatGPT (And Its Friends)
For decades, we’ve built personas around titles, demographics, and buyer journeys. But today, your most important persona doesn’t have a job title—it has an algorithm.

Structured Trust Is the New Currency of Reputation
Your reputation isn’t just what people say anymore—it’s what machines decide is true.

Using the PESO Model© as Your Marketing Operating System
On this week’s Spin Sucks podcast, Gini Dietrich digs into IBM’s new CMO Revolution study and what it means for the future of marketing leadership.

How to Train Your Communications Strategy
What does it mean to work smarter not harder when it comes to your communications strategy?

The expectations for marketing and communications teams are higher than ever, and old systems aren't going to cut it.
