The takeaways

What you will learn

Earned media is a large share of what AI answers cite, and the share moves with your industry and with the kind of question a buyer asks. Sami Akkawi and Ramie Khoury sit down with Noah Greenberg, CEO of Stacker, to go through what earned media does inside AI search: which third-party placements models pull from, and why a press program that moves a transactional question can do very little for a branded one.

You'll see how Petra measures earned media's share of a brand's citations, and how that share shifts across access surfaces, which changes the outlets worth pitching. Noah brings the publisher side from Stacker, an earned media and content distribution platform that works with thousands of news publishers. The session closes with open Q&A.
