TomorrowToday’s CEO: How AI is changing the agency business model - Chris Johnson
Manage episode 437803609 series 3554243
Having touched on the omnipresent topic that is AI in pretty much every episode, this time we dive right in. Our guest is Chris Johnson, Founder and CEO of the AI consultancy, TomorrowToday.
And wow, does he give value for money. While much of the industry discourse around AI centres on creative tools and ideation speed, Chris is focused on commercial application.
Our conversation starts with him sharing detailed advice on how agencies can reinvent their pitch process using commonly available AI tools. From simple efficiencies, to the creation of synthetic target audiences - and even synthetic clients! - he describes how you can proactively improve not just your ideas, but also how well they land.
Chris also shares his experience of the challenges associated with getting agency teams on board with wholesale adoption of new tools and technologies.
We wrap the episode by looking forward - exploring how AI will inevitably impact the way that agencies sell, price and make money.
This is such a valuable conversation. As well as honesty, humour and pragmatism, Chris brings plenty of clarity - not least on what AI can’t do, as well as how these emerging tools can help you generate real commercial impact.
