Is AI Exciting or Terrifying for Modern Businesses and Marketers?

I recently sat down with a friend of mine who oversees hundreds of millions of dollars of ad spend. Paul Gunn features in this long form discussion about what he’s seeing on the ground when it comes to AI’s impact on modern online marketing. You can watch the video HERE

Is AI here to help, or should we be worried?

Paul and I explore how AI is reshaping content creation, media buying, and ad performance landscape, and whether we think it’s a good thing for businesses and marketers, or whether it brings real risks to both. Also we explore how transparency becomes more critical than ever in this fast-moving landscape, and what the main pitfalls to avoid are.

Key Themes & Why They Matter

Transparency IS the Differentiator
In an age of automation and opaque algorithms, being open and clear in your marketing processes helps you build trust. We discuss where budgets might go missing, and how AI optimised campaigns may be more biased to take your marketing dollars, than make your campaigns effective.
