SEO got your content ranked. AEO is what gets it cited.

New research analyzing millions of AI citations found that AI-cited content is 25.7% fresher than what shows up in Google's organic top 10, averaging about 2.9 years old versus 3.9 years for organic results. ChatGPT shows the strongest bias toward recent content of any platform studied.

Translation: freshness isn't the only thing AI search cares about, but it matters more there than it does in traditional search.

That's where Answer Engine Optimization comes into play. Recurring, measurable content refreshes built for the way people search now.

Our team attended FinTop Summit and we’re already putting what we learned to work! 🔥

Banking and fintech leaders shared what’s working, what isn’t, and where the industry is headed next. For an agency that works with community banks and financial brands every day, that kind of access is hard to beat. Better context means better strategy for our clients.

Thank you to every speaker who shared their time and expertise with the room.

The most expensive mistake in marketing isn't bad design. It's skipping the step before it.

Here's what strategy-first looks like:

🔍 Discovery Workshop: Before anything gets designed, we talk through your goals, challenges, needs, and the why behind them.

🗓️ 90-Day Strategy: No year-long plan that gets filed away and forgotten. Just a focused strategy built around what's true for your business right now.

💪 Ex*****on: We don't recommend a service just because we can deliver it. We recommend it because our strategists believe it's what you need.

📊 Reporting: No assumptions here. We track the KPIs that matter, measure what's working, and use those insights to keep moving forward.

Because good marketing doesn't start with making something. It starts with figuring out what needs to be made and why.

Fifteen years. 🎂

Today, we lit number 15 to mark a decade and a half of Primitive, and none of it would have happened without the clients and team who've been part of the story.

Here's to the next fifteen!

"The whole team was great to work with and collaborative." That's a client, after wrapping a video shoot with Bailey and Caleb, and after months of working alongside Parker on the account side.

Creating a great experience for our clients matters just as much to us as the results we deliver. Getting to hear it back like this from the people we work with? That's the best part of the job.

A brand can make you feel something before you even walk through the door.

Kristin Powell, our Senior Graphic Designer, pulled the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra's new palette straight from the instruments: brass gold from the horns, warm wood from the violin, ivory from the piano keys.

It had to feel classic; this is a symphony. But the client was clear: this orchestra is for everyone. So it had to feel rich, not exclusive.

That's the job. Not just designing what something looks like. Designing what it feels like before someone gets there.

Humans vs. AI: We ran the experiment so you don't have to. 🤖

For 60 days, we ran 100% human-created content head-to-head with 100% AI-generated content across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to see which performed better.

Turns out, humans still have a pretty strong case.

The human-created content won on every metric:
▪️ 141% more impressions
▪️ 311% more engagements
▪️ 72% higher engagement rate

However, those results did have a cost: time. The human track logged 57.7 hours against a 52-hour scope, about an 11% overage once you factor in capacity, approvals, revisions, and coordination.

As for AI, it accomplished everything in 5 hours flat. Right on schedule, with no capacity limits and no fatigue.

The takeaway? AI is a tool, but it's not a replacement for strategy, perspective, or the people behind the work.

The full experiment breaks down what we tested, what we learned, and why the human track came out ahead.

NIL often gets reduced to one thing: a check getting signed.

Parker Brown, our Director of Account Management, sees the other side of it. Producing videos, running media days, and building relationships that work for the athlete and the brand every week.

That work is what's driving real numbers at Texas Tech, resulting in more visibility for athletes, stronger regional partnerships, and athletic fundraising that keeps growing.

Football season means this is our busiest stretch of the year. Every Saturday is another shot for our athletes and partners to be seen.

Want in on it? Now's the time to pay attention.

Your ads and posts don't work the same as they did a month ago!

Here's what changed in September, and what it means for your business. 👀💡

– Instagram links in organic posts now cost $50/month for up to 8. Save them for posts built to convert, not every post.

– YouTube can already pick your best thumbnail for each viewer. Video A/B testing is next: upload three versions and it keeps the one people watch longest.

– YouTube Shorts can now run as seasons and episodes, so you don't have to tell your whole story in one post.

– Facebook and Instagram are phasing out "don't show my ad there." Screenshot your current placement settings while you still can.

– LinkedIn swapped its AI post writer for a proofreader and free coworker verification. Verified profiles get 50% more engagement.

– ChatGPT's share of AI questions dropped from 70% to 50% as Gemini and Claude gained ground.
