B2B and B2C are not enough. Introducing B2A:
Business-to-Agent Marketing.
What it is:
The buying journey is changing.
Humans still make decisions. But AI agents are increasingly helping them discover, evaluate and compare products, services and vendors before those decisions are made. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and other AI systems are becoming part of how buyers research, build shortlists and evaluate options.
Those two audiences need different things.
Humans respond to narrative, emotion, creativity, experience and proof.
Agents respond to structure, consistency, authority and verifiable information.
Success with one doesn’t automatically create success with the other.
Business-to-Agent Marketing (B2A) is the discipline of ensuring your brand can effectively communicate with both.
DRZP’s B2A practice spans everything from AI Visibility and authority-building to strategy, content architecture, structured content, measurement and long-term recommendation performance.
Who it’s for:
Brands that recognize AI agents are becoming part of how customers discover, evaluate and compare products and services.
Marketing leaders who want to understand how AI systems currently represent their brands.
Companies competing in categories where buyers increasingly rely on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and other AI systems for research and recommendations.
Organizations looking to integrate B2A into broader B2B and B2C marketing efforts rather than treating it as a standalone tactic.

What’s included:
Our approach:
DRZP.ai’s B2A methodology is built around a simple idea:
Marketing now needs to work for both Agents & Humans.
The frameworks introduced in Agents & Humans provide practical tools for planning, prioritization and execution.
Agent Human Alignment (AHA) helps brands think simultaneously about human and agent audiences while maintaining one coherent market position.
Agent Human Ratios (AHR) helps brands balance investment across Human Performance, Human Brand, Agent Foundation and Agent Authority.
B2A can be delivered as a standalone engagement or integrated into broader B2B and B2C marketing programs.

Q&A
B2A (Business-to-Agent) Marketing is the discipline of marketing to the AI agents increasingly discovering, evaluating and recommending products and services on behalf of humans. It sits alongside B2B and B2C marketing, not instead of them.
B2B and B2C describe who the buyer is. B2A describes an additional audience that increasingly influences how buyers research, evaluate and compare options. As AI systems become part of the buying journey, brands need to consider how they communicate with both Agents & Humans.
Increasingly, yes. AI systems are becoming part of how people research products, services and vendors. They help buyers discover options, compare alternatives, summarize information and build shortlists before decisions are made.
Our B2A Media Allocation Framework helps organizations balance investment across Human Performance, Human Brand, Agent Foundation and Agent Authority. The right mix depends on category dynamics, sales cycle, competitive position, objectives and budget.
Absolutely. Many clients begin with AI Visibility monitoring, authority-building or content improvements before integrating broader B2A practices into existing B2B and B2C programs. B2A is designed to complement and strengthen your existing marketing efforts.
Traditional marketing measurement focuses primarily on human attention, engagement and conversion. B2A introduces additional metrics related to visibility, citation, recommendation, authority and representation within AI systems. Effective measurement increasingly requires understanding performance across both Agents & Humans.
