Episode Details

AI is already rewriting how consumers find products, and brands that aren't paying attention are going to feel it. Ideen Rahvar, Manager of Ecommerce Data and Analytics at Beiersdorf, saw it happen in real time: a live conference demo of ChatGPT recommending sunscreen skipped right over Coppertone. That moment became his wake-up call, and he's spent the time since decoding how AI evaluates brands and teaching the rest of his organization to do the same. Ideen joins the podcast to unpack why search is the golden metric of e-commerce, how AI is upending it, and what brands need to do now to stay visible.
