Talker Pulse™
A regular program of research-led campaigns that builds your brand’s authority, cycle after cycle.
As discovery shifts from search to AI, the brands that win are the ones AI systems name directly, and link to, with a consistent beat of original, credible insight. Pulse delivers it.
Discovery has changed. Where you start matters.
More than a third of consumers now begin their searches with AI tools, not traditional search engines. Those tools respond by drawing on and citing sources, and the brands they reference are the ones that have consistently published original, credible research.
Unlike solutions that simply optimize content that already exists, we start upstream. We create the original research, insights and earned media coverage that help establish authority in the first place. Then build on it, cycle after cycle.
The Pulse cycle
Research, data & narrative
We run original research around the topics your audience and the media care about most. Then create the story, visuals and findings report — where relevant — with your brand as the recognized, cited source.
RESEARCH-LED STORYTELLING.
Guaranteed earned media
Your story earns mid to top tier editorial coverage in the trusted publications that credible information is drawn from.
Each placement adds another layer of genuine third-party validation.
COVERAGE THAT BUILDS.
Authority Layer architecture
We structure your content, entity signals and citations across owned and earned channels, building a consistent, credible presence around the topics people are searching for. Every cycle compounds the last.
THE ENGINE DRIVING AUTHORITY.
Authority Layer
The engine
inside Pulse
To be cited by AI, your brand needs to be recognized as a clearly defined entity with original insights. Validated by sources AI already trusts. A single piece of content is not enough. It takes a system that connects research, content and earned media into one compounding signal. That’s what the Authority Layer does.
Why research matters
Research-led content strengthens entity signals because it produces original, attributable information that other sources reference and repeat. Those repeated patterns are exactly what LLMs learn from. When your research is published consistently and reinforced across multiple assets and third-party citations, AI systems are more likely to select your content as evidence and credit your brand directly in generated responses.
Why earned media validates it
Humans want real stories they can trust, journalists need stats they can rely on, and AI systems favor original data validated by independent sources and earned media coverage. Each placement is not just coverage, it is a credibility signal that strengthens your brand’s authority in AI systems.
Why repetition across sources matters
LLMs learn from patterns that appear repeatedly across the web. When the same brand, topic and insight appear together across multiple trusted sources, it strengthens the associations the model learns. Over time, this repetition helps AI systems form clearer associations between your brand and the topics you lead on — increasing the likelihood your insights are retrieved, referenced and cited.
Why direct citation and links matter
Being mentioned is not the same as being credited. Our activations are built to get your brand named specifically, and cited with a live link back to your own content. That’s the difference between an AI system describing ‘a recent study’ and one that names your brand, quotes your data, and links straight to your site as the source.
