Brand equity is the accumulated trust, recognition, and preference that lives in other people's heads — and the commercial advantage that goodwill gives you. This book turns that invisible asset into a repeatable process: AI as the toolkit, News Marketing as the credibility engine, and people as the reason the market believes you.
Brand Equity
The Last Durable Advantage — Built on Purpose
AI, News Marketing, and people: the new brand equity stack
Same product. Different name. People still pay more for the brand they trust. That gap is brand equity — and in an AI-shaped market, it only works if you are memorable, credible, and findable. This free ebook shows you how to build that asset deliberately, measure it honestly, and compound it week after week.

News Marketing That Compounds
One clear, structured release on a steady cadence. Third-party validation advertising can't buy — indexed by search, cited by AI, and banked as equity instead of evaporating after a campaign.
It is no longer enough for a customer to remember you. When that customer—or an AI system acting on their behalf—goes looking for information, your company must be present, credible, understandable, and easy to retrieve. David has written a practical guide to that opportunity. For communications leaders, your seat at the table matters more than ever.
