I have rested and taken care of myself this summer. But I have not completely disappeared. And September has proven me right: those who work in silence while everyone else takes a break reap the rewards when others start from scratch.
I am writing this from my vacation. And precisely for that reason, it seems to me the perfect moment for this second part: what exactly happens in September if you did nothing during the summer?
Today, I accompanied a client to a television studio. And while we waited backstage, I reflected on everything that goes into those three or four minutes that the viewer sees on screen, which seem so simple.
Journalists won't tell you to your face why your press release ends up in the trash. I can do that. Because I have been on the other side for years.
For years, the issue of sustainability has been excessive storytelling. Today, silence is becoming a problem as well. Between greenwashing and greenhushing, companies face a new challenge: to communicate what they do with honesty. Because in an environment where everything is interpreted, what is left unsaid also shapes perception.
For years, I worked helping companies build their reputation, until I realized that communication also needed to be aligned with something deeper: my own purpose. Since then, I have been supporting companies that do things right in organizing their narrative and making it visible. Because today, it is not enough to have an impact; one must also know how to explain it so that it can be understood, found, and valued.
Artificial intelligence is changing how companies are discovered, interpreted, and recommended. In this new context, visibility no longer relies solely on having a digital presence, but rather on the public context surrounding a brand. Media, articles, and external mentions become key components of the authority that AI uses to understand and position companies.
