"Marketing masterclass in the age of AI"

Jordi Frances · Verified Amazon review

★★★★★

"The fable format makes complex ideas easy to absorb"

"What surprised me is that the fable format makes complex ideas easy to absorb, and — more importantly — the practical side is genuinely usable. I found myself applying things to my own business almost immediately… Not just marketing theory — actual decision-making tools I could use the next day."

Verified Amazon review · Paperback

★★★★★

"Actually applies beyond marketing"

"The Peacock's Echo nails a concept I hadn't thought about clearly: AI engines are reshaping what gets seen and what gets ignored. I use ChatGPT and Perplexity constantly — after reading this, I think completely differently about how I show up in those results. Short book, real shift in thinking."

Marcelo · Verified Amazon review

★★★★★

"Profound, simple and practical"

"This book gave me clarity and specific recommendations to apply and helped me define an action plan. Thank you Marcos for keeping it profound, simple and practical!"

The Premise

"Don Reginaldo the peacock built his empire by shouting the loudest. His brand echoed back to him. Until the Echo changed."

A story every modern marketer will recognize — even if it begins in a forest.

The Core Idea

From noise to nuance. From display to proof.

In the age of AI, the rules of influence have been rewritten. When the animals of Aurora Vale stop listening to announcements and start asking better questions, everything changes. Authority no longer belongs to whoever projects the most. It belongs to whoever can be described with precision.

Through characters like Gia the magpie — an information synthesizer who connects needs to solutions — and Silas the silent snow leopard who values discretion over display, the fable exposes the new marketplace: one where brands are recommended, not discovered; evaluated, not admired.

01

From Noise to Nuance

The loudest voice no longer wins. Precision and clarity of positioning now determine who gets recommended.

02

From Visibility to Verifiability

AI systems don't admire brands — they evaluate them. Your digital footprint must be structured to be understood.

03

From Discovery to Recommendation

The new buyer doesn't search and scroll. They ask, and AI answers. Will your brand be the answer?

The Appendix

Not just a fable. A field guide.

Each chapter moves from story to strategy — from metaphor to Monday-morning execution. The appendix turns the fable into working tools:

01

AI Visibility Audits

Discover how AI systems currently perceive and describe your brand — and what gaps exist between your intent and their output.

02

Generative Engine Optimization

GEO: structuring your brand's digital presence so AI language models can accurately recommend you. Not hacking — earning.

03

Positioning Documents

Build the structured evidence AI needs to recommend you with confidence, precision, and consistency.

04

Evidence Archives

Create the verifiable record of authority that separates brands that get cited from brands that get ignored.

05

Friction Audits

Identify every point where your digital presence creates confusion, ambiguity, or doubt — for humans and machines.

06

New Metrics

Measure what matters in a world where the most important transactions happen before anyone visits your website.

What You'll Get

Close the book with three things done.

The fable takes an evening. The field guide turns it into twenty concrete actions — the kind you can put on a calendar.

Who it's for Marketing leaders and CMOs whose brand is losing share of AI answers · founders and consultants who need to be citable, not just visible · small-business owners who have no agency and no time to waste.
