Avenue Z has been named “Cognitive Communications Solution of the Year” by the AI Breakthrough Awards for our AI Optimization (AIO) solution, the first technology purpose-built to help brands secure visibility in generative AI search results.
Unlike traditional SEO, our AIO solution is designed for how platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity deliver synthesized answers rather than simple lists of links. As AI search adoption surges, AIO positions brands as trusted sources cited by large language models, combining high-authority media placements, conversational content tailored for AI queries, and technical optimization for machine understanding.
“This is not SEO retrofitted for AI,” said Johnny Hughes, Chief Marketing Officer and AI Council Chair at Avenue Z. “This is a new language for influence, blending technical precision with strategic storytelling so our clients own the questions that matter most.”
“We’re proud to be doing for AI what we once did for Google search: building the map before the rest of the industry knows they need it,” said Jeffrey Herzog, Founder and CEO of Avenue Z. “With AIO, we’re not gaming algorithms, we’re guiding conversations and content at the intersection of influence and machine logic.”
Winning this award places Avenue Z alongside global innovators like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Meta, affirming our leadership in redefining digital communications for the AI era.
We’ve also launched our AI Visibility Index Reports, giving brands a clear picture of how they appear in generative AI platforms and where opportunities exist to improve.
