Nurik will discuss how earned media, PR and authentic brand storytelling influence AI visibility, citations and brand authority in generative search

MCLEAN, Va., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —

WHAT:
Leah Nurik, CEO and co-founder of Brandi AI, will present at GEO Conference 2026, a full-day event dedicated to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Nurik’s session, “Telling Authentic Stories to Improve AI Visibility,” will examine how coherent, credible brand narratives influence the way AI systems understand, describe and cite companies. Her presentation will explore why earned media, public relations and authentic storytelling are becoming central to Brand Intelligence and GEO strategy as brands compete to appear in AI-generated answers from platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI search systems.

As AI answer engines increasingly shape how buyers, customers and stakeholders discover and evaluate brands, visibility is no longer determined only by search rankings or owned content. AI systems reward credible, consistent and well-supported narratives across earned media, trusted third-party sources, expert content and public brand signals. Nurik will explain how the “narrative layer” is emerging as a distinct GEO discipline and why PR, communications, and product marketing teams have a growing role in helping brands become visible, trusted and cited in AI-generated answers.
