B2C and the Future of Search in 2027

How is AI changing the way consumers find and choose brands?

Why this session

Will AI recommend your brand?

For B2C brands, that raises some important questions. Will consumers find you when they search? Will AI recommend your brand? And what influences whether they choose you over a competitor?

Join Sleeping Giant Media for a complimentary lunch with fellow marketing leaders to explore what the future of search means for B2C brands in 2027.

We'll look at real consumer searches, see how brands appear across search engines and AI platforms, and explore the role of SEO, paid advertising and content in helping businesses get noticed and considered.

We are hosting it at The Betjeman Arms, inside St Pancras International, beneath the station's great glass roof. It is a short walk from six Underground lines, Thameslink, Southeastern high speed and the Eurostar, so it fits around a working day.
