 In this exclusive interview with Eric Yaverbaum, CEO of Ericho Communications and author of the definitive bestseller Public Relations for Dummies. Yaverbaum dissected the central paradox in marketing today: why are major brands rejecting AI in their advertising, even as the tech industry pours billions into automation? Yaverbaum explained that this “anti-AI” trend is not a technological rejection, but a highly strategic public relationsmove. It’s a response to a deep-seated crisis of consumer trust and a sophisticated way to achieve competitive advantage in a hyper-digital world. The Core Paradox: Consumer Trust and the Anti-AI Trend Yaverbaum asserts that while AI promises efficiency, public sentiment reveals a massive gap between corporate adoption and consumer comfort. Consumer trust in AI is low, with many expressing anxiety over deepfakes, job displacement, and data misuse. * Public Sentiment: Brands like Polaroid and Heineken are actively responding to this skepticism. For example, Polaroid’s viral slogan, “AI can’t generate sand between your toes,” taps into a public yearning for tangible, human-produced experiences and authenticity. * Strategic Rejection: Rejecting AI is the smartest new counter-cultural marketing strategy. It positions a brand as authentic, human, and a champion against digital fatigue, creating an immediate, clear competitive distinction in a crowded market. The PR Crisis Connection: Labor and Trust A significant driver of the AI marketing backlash is the negative news cycle connecting rapid automation with mass layoffs (e.g., Amazon’s cuts). * Distancing the Brand: Brands using "human-made" campaigns are intentionally distancing themselves from the negative labor narrative associated with rapid automation. This is a crucial PR move to maintain a positive ethical image and soften the perception of C-suite-driven cost reduction. * Credibility & Misinformation: The proliferation of deepfakes makes the promise of human creativity a non-negotiable asset. For consumers struggling to discern real content from AI-generated content, a brand that explicitly champions human effort becomes a trustworthy, credible harbor. Crisis Management: The 'Public Relations for Dummies' Tactic Drawing from his expertise, Eric Yaverbaum offered essential crisis communications advice for companies facing a PR nightmare (e.g., an AI mistake or layoff fallout): 1. Lead with Human Value: Pivot the narrative back to human contribution and transparency. 2. Take Meaningful Action: Sincere apologies are insufficient. Companies must demonstrate concrete steps to invest in their human workforce and stakeholders. 3. No Empty Promises: Every public decision must align with stated core values to prevent hypocrisy accusations that can destroy long-term reputation. Future Outlook: Will Public Sentiment Slow the AI Boom? Yaverbaum concluded that the backlash has the power to reshape the conversation, forcing companies to be more cautious and transparent about their use of automation. While the momentum of the technology itself may be too great to stop entirely, this shift in consumer behavior and preference will force a necessary industry-wide correction, making authenticity the most valuable asset in the modern digital economy.
