AI is changing how we work. But is it changing who does the work?

I get this question constantly from smart business owners: "Amanda, if I have ChatGPT or Claude, do I still need a marketing agency?"

Every time marketers say “Dark Social,” someone immediately assumes we’re talking about hackers operating out of a basement somewhere.

We are not. Dark Social simply refers to content being shared through private channels analytics tools can’t properly track:

• Text messages
• Slack
• Teams
• WhatsApp
• Email
• DMs

That’s it.

It’s called “dark” because the referral path is invisible to analytics platforms, not because anything sketchy is happening.

Ironically, some of the most valuable B2B marketing conversations today are happening in exactly those invisible channels.

Not publicly. Privately.

Which changes how smart brands think about content strategy entirely.
