Our Favorite Moment
“People think AI is a cheat code, like this tool is going to solve virality for us and solve our marketing issues. ChatGPT made it so easy. I think from a marketing perspective, there's a lot of hoping that this is just going to solve a larger, underlying issue, which is how do we tell better stories and really engage people, capture their attention, hold their attention. I think people are starting to understand that there's more thought that needs to go into how to use these tools to maximize the benefit.”
