I'm going to put a stake in the ground and say I dislike using the word "authentic" when it comes to content. It's just another way of saying, don't be fake and don't lie to your customer. To which I say: Of course not! People know when they're being lied to and (newsflash) they don't like it. Maybe we need a marketing version of the Hippocratic Oath, "first, do no harm."

Happy creating!
