AI is revolutionizing how we write content. From blog posts to email campaigns, tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, and Copy.ai are making it faster and more accessible to generate written materials for marketing and sales.
But here’s the issue: A lot of it sounds the same.
If you’ve noticed a recent uptick in polished but personality-free articles, you’re not alone. As AI-generated content floods inboxes and search results, it’s never been more important to ensure your brand voice cuts through the noise.
At Canright Communications, we use AI strategically—to support, not replace—our content creation process. Why? Because no matter how advanced the tool, there’s no substitute for human insight, tone, and storytelling.
The Risk of “Blending In”
Relying too heavily on AI without oversight can result in content that:
-Sounds like everyone else in your industry
-Misses the mark with your target audience
-Strips out the personality that makes your brand recognizable
-Feels impersonal or flat, especially in relationship-driven industries
Let’s face it—AI is incredible at sounding polished, but it’s not great at sounding like YOU. Your customers don’t want to engage with a robot. They want to hear from your company, your team, your values.
5 Ways to Use AI Without Losing Your Voice
- Define (and Document) Your Voice: Is your tone authoritative and expert-level? Warm and approachable? Quirky and clever? We help our clients build brand voice guides with examples and style notes so that every piece—whether written by a person or polished by AI—feels consistent and authentic.
- Use AI for the Blueprint, Not the Building: AI is a great starting point. It can generate outlines, brainstorm headlines, and even provide rough drafts. But those drafts should always be reviewed and refined by a skilled writer—someone who understands your strategy, audience, and industry. That’s where we come in.
- Always Human-Edit for Clarity and Emotion: AI doesn’t know your customer pain points. It doesn’t pick up on nuance or irony. And it definitely doesn’t have your strategic goals in mind. We edit for impact—reworking AI drafts to connect emotionally, communicate clearly, and reflect the expertise behind your brand.
- Train AI with Your Content: AI performs better when trained with brand-specific content. Feeding AI tools high-quality samples, using strategic prompts, and even building reusable templates that mirror a client’s brand tone and structure can result in content that stands out from the rest.
- Balance AI with Original Thought Leadership: The best way to stand out? Say something only you can say. We help clients blend AI-assisted content with high-value originals—like client case studies, executive bylines, and expert Q&As. For your convenience, Canright now offers a Thought Leadership content writing service.
Why Your Company Needs Canright Communications
AI is a powerful tool—but it’s not a strategy. It doesn’t understand your mission, your clients, or the subtleties that define your brand. That’s where Canright Communications makes all the difference. We work with clients across industries—fintech, IT, architecture, finance, and professional services—to:
-Translate complex ideas into clear, compelling stories
-Maintain brand voice across content types and channels
-Leverage AI strategically without sacrificing originality or credibility
We’ve helped brands like Yodlee explain their API to non-technical decision-makers, and companies like Synechron position themselves as leaders in blockchain innovation.
