35: Are Websites Dying or Just Evolving? (Tim Peter)
We dive deep into the evolving role of websites, the risks and opportunities presented by AI-generated RFPs, and whether the future of digital customer interaction really requires throwing everything out and starting from scratch.
In this episode:
• Tim shares feedback and friendly fire on Stuart’s “death of the website” thesis
• Adam debuts an AI-generated RFP built from Episode 33’s transcript
• A debate unfolds around the role of human creativity vs AI in vendor selection
• Tim introduces his latest book Digital Reset: Driving Marketing and Customer Acquisition Beyond Big Tech
• We explore how DMOs can future-proof themselves in an era of agents, algorithms, and attention shifts
• Stuart and Tim agree: the future is about first principles, better content, emotional resonance, and making your brand the prompt
“If your brand isn’t in the prompt, you’re already losing.” – Tim Peter
