Google’s March 2024 Core Update, and are things trending up for TikTok?

Welcome to another episode of Marketers of the Universe, where this time we're looking at Google's new attitude towards AI generated content, and TikTok's burgeoning role as a search engine and viable marketing platform. **Generative AI promises to be one of the best consumer unlocks since the introduction of the internet, but before that, we need to deal with its many, many abuses. One such issue is the use of AI to generate copy that is hijacking Google search results with irrelevant, spammy content. Well, the search giant has had enough, and the March 2024 Core Update aims to reduce “unhelpful” content that’s been written for search engines, not humans.  SEO experts ShinRoo Chao and Jason Morris talk us through what this means for businesses. Meanwhile, TikTok continues to dominate conversations – positively and negatively. Although the threat of a US ban looms, the video platform continues to expand in popularity. Young people are increasingly turning to TikTok as a search engine, and marketers are started to find success in B2B advertising. With Mark Bundle hosting, we talk to social media managers Debbie Gacutan-Jardim De Oliveira and  Saufi Mohd Nor, alongside paid media manager Ross Stratton to find out if TikTok is the place to be.  **Free discovery workshops!Did you know that Brew Digital offers free discovery workshops?
