Ogilvy ANZ Unveils Generative Impact: A New Era in Brand Reputation and Visibility in an AI-Driven World

Ogilvy ANZ Launches Generative Impact: Empowering Brands in the AI Era

In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping the landscape of consumer interactions, Ogilvy ANZ has unveiled Generative Impact, a groundbreaking offering designed to empower brands to build and protect their reputation while driving impactful outcomes. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, brands must adapt to this new reality. The launch of Generative Impact positions Ogilvy at the forefront of this evolution, combining the expertise of Ogilvy PR and Ogilvy One to address today’s shifting information dynamics.

The Convergence of Expertise

Combining Ogilvy PR’s prowess in earned media with Ogilvy One’s capabilities in digital experience optimization, Generative Impact is tailored to navigate how audiences today discover information. With the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), which source and present content based on trust and authority, Ogilvy aims to help brands not only remain visible but also become recognized as authoritative voices.

As brands face the challenge of AI-driven changes in consumer behavior—57% of Australians now actively using AI tools—a unique opportunity arises. Now more than ever, there’s a paramount need for brands to ensure their content is discoverable and relevant in the AI landscape.

Unlocking Potential in AI Search

The power of Generative Impact lies in its understanding of how LLMs prioritize content derived from authoritative media and trusted social sources. By collaborating with AI optimization partner Semrush, Ogilvy provides a comprehensive strategy for the development of editorial content and web communications. This ensures brands enhance their prominence and relevance in an AI-powered information environment.

1. Earned-Led Authority: Ogilvy PR leads the charge in establishing a brand’s credibility within the AI search space. Using a proprietary framework, they ensure brands are recognized as trusted and authoritative sources, leveraging high-quality editorial coverage and external validation to influence AI-generated narratives.

2. AI Optimization: Ogilvy One’s role is to ensure that clients’ websites are structured and optimized for AI discoverability. This involves implementing AI-friendly structured data and schema markup while developing content architectures that amplify visibility in LLMs.

This dual approach not only enhances brand recognition but also aligns with the evolving media consumption habits of consumers, where an AI’s recommendation can significantly impact choices and perceptions.

Addressing the New Consumer Landscape

Recent research highlights the profound impact of AI on consumer behavior. A July 2025 study from Pew Research Center indicates that user engagement with traditional search results is diminishing, particularly with the rise of AI summaries. In fact, 26% of 75,000 brands studied showed no appearances in leading LLM query results despite being visible in traditional searches. This suggests a pressing need for brands to refine their communication strategies to engage effectively with AI systems.

As Richard Brett, president of Ogilvy PR Asia Pacific, aptly stated, “The communications landscape is undergoing its most significant transformation since the advent of social media.” This transformation necessitates that brands not only exist within the digital realm but are also perceived as authoritative entities within AI-driven interfaces.

Generative Impact in Action

Ogilvy ANZ is already piloting the Generative Impact approach with key clients, showcasing its immediate applicability and effectiveness. The results thus far underscore the value of blending earned media with AI optimization to create a comprehensive strategy that addresses the complex new information landscape.

Conclusion

In a world increasingly shaped by AI, Ogilvy ANZ’s Generative Impact offers a timely and innovative solution for brands seeking to navigate and thrive in this new reality. By marrying earned-led strategies with technical discoverability, Ogilvy is empowering brands to maximize their visibility, build trust, and enhance their reputations in an AI-driven age.

As brand visibility becomes intrinsically linked to the way information is sourced and presented by AI systems, the time for brands to adapt and enhance their strategies is now. With Generative Impact, Ogilvy ANZ positions itself as a leader in guiding brands through this evolving landscape, ensuring that they not only survive but flourish in an AI-centric world.
