Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI-For-Comms: Trading Grunt Work for Real Strategy with AI w/Jessen Gibbs, CEO & Co-Founder at Shadow, Inc and Dalyan Parker , Co-Founder at Shadow, Inc
Q: What is your pricing model and how does it fit different team sizes?
Shadow uses a pay-by-use model with tiered reports and execution capabilities, allowing startups to pay as little as $50, and larger teams to pay around $2,000 per month for more comprehensive daily reports and execution cycles.
AI-For-Comms: Trading Grunt Work for Real Strategy with AI w/Jessen Gibbs, CEO & Co-Founder at Shadow, Inc and Dalyan Parker , Co-Founder at Shadow, Inc
Q: How do you view the role of AI in journalist pitching and relationships?
AI should support what journalists care about—relevance and depth—while the human should craft the message and manage the relationship; AI handles research and customization behind the scenes but not the relationship layer.
AI-For-Comms: Trading Grunt Work for Real Strategy with AI w/Jessen Gibbs, CEO & Co-Founder at Shadow, Inc and Dalyan Parker , Co-Founder at Shadow, Inc

Shadow combines data gathering, real-time intelligence, and execution tools to turn narrative insights into actionable outreach and content, reducing hours of manual work into minutes while preserving the human element in storytelling and relationship-building.

Fragmented Influence: Why PR Now Means Podcasts, Substacks, and Eight Revenue Streams Per Journalist w Brett Farmiloe, Founder at Featured.com
Q: What percentage of journalists entertain AI pitches and how is AI changing the newsroom?
There are two camps: some journalists still favor human-sourced pitches and others are open to AI-provided leads as long as the source is credible. Overall openness to AI is growing, but human verification remains crucial.
