AI Marketing
for regional specialties
Austria Imperial Green Gold is a non-profit research association. We investigate how artificial intelligence makes authentic Styrian specialties visible in 40+ languages and cultures — without diluting their origin.

The Association
Non-profit research, no profit distribution
As a registered association under Austrian VerG 2002, we pursue three tasks. According to §1(2) of our statutes, all surpluses flow back into the association's purpose — never to members or the board.
AI Marketing Research
We test how AI models transfer product texts, images, and videos across language and cultural boundaries without losing authenticity.
Mobile Field Expedition
Starting 2026, a three-year expedition across 40+ countries in Europe and Central Asia. Goal: real performance data under changing conditions.
Partnership with Producers
Traditional businesses like Kiendler Oil Mill provide products and expertise — the association handles AI-powered visibility and documents results openly.
The Field Study
17 months of AI-driven marketing — documented
Since November 2024, we have been systematically testing which AI strategies actually work in content marketing for a regional premium product. All results are publicly available.
The ongoing study includes A/B tests with mascots (Kerni & Scharfer Rudi), automated translation into 40+ languages, multi-channel publishing, and scientific evaluation — as a case study for a Styrian family business.
