Tim Haslam and the business of being found
After 18 years in the Yellow Pages business, Tim Haslam brought research-led newsmaking to New York. Now the Talker founder is asking what happens when the customer’s first recommendation comes from an AI assistant.
Your Growth Work Vanishes Before the Market Sees It
YesPress wants agencies, fractional executives and consultants to turn the work already happening inside client companies into a steady public record - without building a newsroom of their own.
Your AI Visibility Dashboard Cannot Publish the Missing Proof
Profound and Evertune can show brands where AI search leaves them out. YesPress addresses the layer their dashboards do not: a public, editorial record answer engines can cite.
Every company has a website.
"Every company has a website. Every company has social media. Every company needs a public record." is the thesis behind YesPress, an editorial engine built for the age of answer engines. The argument is simple: a website is what you say about yourself, social media is what you shout, but a public record is the structured, citable source material that AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity actually learn from and quote back. YesPress builds that record - an always-on newsroom publishing company, people, and product stories under the company's own name, kept honest by editors and a public corrections process.
Fashion AI Visibility
Fashion discovery is moving from search engines to answer engines. When shoppers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity for the best minimalist label or the most sustainable brand, the names that surface are not the biggest ad spenders but the brands with the most public, structured knowledge for AI to cite. This YesPress Newsroom analysis lays out what large language models look for, why many direct-to-consumer fashion brands underperform despite strong paid-social businesses, and how an always-on newsroom turns internal expertise into compounding, citable assets.
YesPress
YesPress is an editorial engine built for the age of answer engines. It gives a company its own always-on newsroom, publishing structured stories under the company's own name so that ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity have an authoritative public record to cite. The pitch is blunt: your next customer starts with an AI assistant, not your homepage, and AI can only recommend what it can understand. YesPress turns launches, wins, and expertise into machine-readable stories, shipped within 24 hours with entity markup, then tracks which engines quote them.
