Craft Content With Intention To Avoid AI Ick [Video]

Content Marketing Institute has published a new video, ‘Craft Content With Intention To Avoid AI Ick’.

The CMI team says, “Can marketers still gain an advantage by artfully crafting content in a landscape dominated by AI, algorithms, and content-by-committee? The answer may lie in the details. Robert Rose argues that adding more emotional details doesn’t make a story more resonant. Rather, it’s the intention and judgment behind which details you add — and which you don’t. Read this week’s Rose-Colored Glasses for his well-detailed explanation.”

    CMI Highlights 5 B2B Video Lessons From Maersk

    B2B video marketing helps businesses communicate complex ideas, showcase products, and build trust through engaging visual content. It drives higher engagement, improves lead quality, and boosts conversions.

    Content Marketing Institute contributor Ann Gynn has published an article featuring five b2b video lessons from shipping giant Maersk’s YouTube channel.

    She says, “YouTube and a 121-year-old Danish shipping and logistics company.

    It seems like an odd couple.

    But it’s a smart marketing strategy for Maersk, which operates in over 130 countries and boasts over 100,000 employees.

    And it’s far from the only B2B brand to think so. Almost 80% of B2B marketers say they use YouTube, according to CMI’s 2025 B2B research.

    So, how does a B2B brand make the most of the Google-owned video platform? What should it refrain from doing? Let’s look at some lessons from the Maersk YouTube channel.”

    Coaching Client Progress – Reality Check needed (free template) #ad

    Reality checks are often needed to make sure we are still on the path we intended to take. For example, do your clients or customers highly value what you offer them? Are they actually implementing it?

    Are you a coach or consultant finding yourself puzzled by clients who express a desire to reach their goals but seem unable to progress toward those goals? Have you caught yourself wondering:
    – “What’s stopping this person from moving forward?”
    – “Why do some of my clients start with enthusiasm but then lose momentum?”
    – “Is there something in my approach that’s affecting my client’s progress, or is it a deeper issue?”

    If these thoughts resonate with you, then this quick reality check could be just what you need. This tool offers a simple yet insightful way to assess your clients’ progress, especially those who have become stalled, slowed down, or veered off course.

    Here’s how to use the Reality Check Template:

    Make copies of the template and fill out one for each client. Spend just 5–10 minutes on each, allowing your observations to guide your responses without overthinking. By completing this ‘Reality Check,’ you’ll gain a clearer picture of where your client stands and what they need to advance.

    Remember, this isn’t about passing judgment on your clients or yourself. It’s about identifying patterns that might be overlooked, helping you to better support your clients’ journeys.

    Client Name

    Sarah T.

    Progress Level

    (High/Mid/Low)       Mid

    Engagement Level

    (High/Mid/Low)       Mid

    Common Excuses or Challenges

    “I didn’t have time to
    get to it this week.”

    “I wanted to think
    about it a bit more before doing anything.”

    Missed two sessions in
    the past two months due to sudden need to reschedule.

    What Helped

    She responds well to
    short-term action steps and weekly check-ins.

    When we tied her
    actions back to her core values (independence, creativity), she seemed more
    motivated.

    She liked having a
    visual tracker — said it helped her feel “seen.”

    What Didn’t Help

    Giving her too much
    autonomy too early — she got stuck trying to plan everything on her own.

    Open-ended reflection
    questions — she tends to overthink instead of act.

    Email summaries of the
    session — she didn’t read them.

    What patterns are emerging?

    Clients who start
    strong often slow down when it’s time to take visible action

    The word “should” tends
    to show up when there’s fear or misalignment

    Planning is used as a
    way to delay — especially in clients who seem thoughtful but avoid execution

    Structured
    accountability seems more helpful than clients expect (even if they resist it
    early on)

    Where might something deeper be blocking
    progress?

    I suspect some
    perfectionism and fear of judgment. She keeps tweaking things instead of
    launching.

    Possibly misaligned
    goals — she talks a lot about what she “should” do, not what she wants to do.

    She may be worried
    about what success will demand of her (pressure to keep going).

    What’s your takeaway from this client’s
    progress so far?

    Sarah is capable and
    creative, but she needs tighter structure and smaller wins.

    I need to keep the pace
    moving, even if her verbal processing makes her seem like she’s engaging
    deeply.

    There’s more hesitation
    under the surface than she lets on.

    Next Step
    Sometimes the real issue isn’t visible on the surface. It’s internal resistance, misaligned goals, fear, or confusion — things the client may not even recognize yet.
    Rather than guessing, use the Why Aren’t My Clients Taking Action? Diagnostic Tool to:
     Pinpoint the root cause
     Tailor your coaching to match motivation level
     Save time, reduce frustration, and keep clients moving forward

    Download the free Coach’s Diagnostic Tool here: ‘Why Aren’t My Clients Taking Action?’ Diagnostic Tool

    It’s ideal for helping you:
     Reflect on what’s been working (and what hasn’t)
     Spot areas where your clients are stuck
     Recommit to your client relationship goals

    Once you have identified the problem, how will you correct it?

    Motivate Your Clients to Take Action has the answer. This training will walk you through the A.C.T.I.O.N process that helps you:
    Build coaching relationships that spark motivation (and keep it going)
    Uncover hidden resistance and mindset blocks keeping your clients from moving forward
    Set inspiring goals that actually lead to progress
    Create simple accountability systems that keeps moving forward
    Re-engage clients who’ve started ignoring you

    You’ll walk away with a proven system and tools you can plug right into your business,
    …and, if you choose, you’ll have a professional course to sell, teach live, include in a membership site or coaching program, or use as part of an even bigger offer.
