Fireside Chat with GroupM: AI accelerating the fusion of media and creativity

Our Commercial Director, Silke Zetzsche, also had a fireside chat with Oliver (Oli) Saunders, Global Head of Addressable and DCO at Wavemaker, to talk about the industry implications and impact of AI on effectiveness and efficiency, personalization, culture, trust, and more.

Key takeaways:

• AI is seen as an opportunity rather than a threat in the industry, with its potential to enhance efficiency, personalisation, culture, and trust.

• There's a need for more collaboration with regulatory bodies to ensure ethical use of AI, focusing on consent, safety, security, and control.

• AI can help brands optimize their media spend by bringing media and creative aspects closer together through data.

• The future of advertising could see a greater fusion of media and creative elements, accelerated by AI.

• Brands are encouraged to view AI as a journey, taking a holistic approach rather than focusing on individual campaigns
