AI Policy

Our Approach to Responsible AI

At Kate Barlow: Branching Out Ltd, we believe in using AI with purpose, care, and clarity. Since 2022, we've been actively developing our AI expertise — staying ahead of the tools, the risks, and the opportunities — so our clients don't have to.

We use AI to amplify the value we deliver, not to replace the strategic thinking, creativity, and deep marketing experience that makes that value possible.

Ethical and transparent AI use

AI is integrated across our workflows to enhance — not substitute — human insight. Whether shaping digital strategies, optimising performance, or creating audience-aligned content, we use AI as a tool for deeper understanding and smarter execution.

We are always transparent about how AI supports a project. If you want to know which tools we're using and why, just ask.

How we use AI in practice

We currently use AI tools to support:

Research, content development, and SEO analysis
Strategy development and ideation
Prompt kit development for clients
Workflow automation to reduce admin and increase focus on delivery

We do not use AI for automated decision-making about individuals, and we never feed client-sensitive or personal data into public AI systems.

Safe and responsible implementation

We prioritise data privacy and IP integrity when selecting, configuring, and using AI tools — particularly within martech platforms and analytics environments. All usage aligns with UK GDPR, the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and our standard terms of business.

When working with clients on AI integration, we apply the same standards we hold ourselves to: ethical sourcing, human oversight, and clear accountability.
