The modern creative

The Modern Creative ~ How can brands maintain creativity, originality and authenticity yet harness the power of AI based solutions in 2022?

Our final webinar of 2021 was a great way to end off this years series.

Our panel included Vineet Raheja, Head of Creative at ITV, Rod Sobral, Global Chief Creative Officer at OLIVER and Gemma Poesaste, Business Strategy Director at OLIVER.

With AI, the challenge is in how brands achieve the speed and automation they want, while also giving customers consistently positive experiences that engage with them. However, this is easier said than done.

Structuring teams so that AI can empower the creative process is key, especially nowadays with multi-channel approaches to marketing and vast swathes of data that pour in as a result. Specialists are needed to harness these insights and work alongside creatives.

Fundamentally, brands need to understand that human talent is the heart of a successful campaign. No matter how useful AI can be it cannot offer the winning elements that enable marketers to engage with customers on an emotional level.

Strike the balance and maintain your brand’s authenticity. Therefore, get the specialists who possess the knowledge to build and run these AI-supported teams is paramount.

[Webinar] The Modern Creative: How to maintain creativity and originality in 2022

Brands are in a constant battle to adapt and meet consumer demand. This is especially true within the creative processes of marketing.

Many marketers still hold to an instinctual form of marketing that can stymie the power of originality and creativity; they have become reluctant to embrace AI-based technologies.

Automation raises fears of generic, undifferentiated advertisements within a marketplace already filled with ineffective content.

Much of it afflicted with ‘sameness.’ In fact, only a third of consumers find adverts to be useful in learning product information.

This suggests what we already know: Creativity is essential. Now, so is scalability – and this is where AI can shine.
