New Study from 5W and Talent Resources: AI Wont Pick Your Influencer -- The Chatbox Reads the Record, Not the Reach

▤ Summary

5W AI Communications and Talent Resources released a study showing that AI chat tools rely on a creator’s public, machine-readable record more than follower counts when recommending brand campaign talent. The report scored 21 actors, athletes, and creators and found that documented deal history and media coverage strongly influenced which names surfaced. Serena Williams, Stephen Curry, Tom Brady, and LeBron James ranked highest, while creators with large followings but thinner public records ranked lower. The study argues that creators can improve AI visibility by building structured, retrievable documentation around endorsements, press coverage, and campaign work.
