everyone seems to think AI is the death of creative advertising, but I'm pretty sure it's actually influencer marketing doing that

The internet — and a special shout out to social media — has pretty much destroyed everything that was once good, smart, required patience or civility.

I think the death is the changed consumer habits.

People especially the ones with lots of experience can’t admit that TV is dead. Print is dead.

It’s not AI, it’s just the fact that lots of advertisers can’t admit that they do ads for themselves and conservative clients.

Personally, I feel present and future is Ai, social, PR and commerce and shopper marketing.

Good old telly and big craft for posters don’t really work anymore.

People are more engaged in a meme and TikTok they’ve seen. Influencers marketing depends I guess, there’s a rise of micro influencers that people trust more.

PR in my opinion is underrated in adland. But somehow people love more when something surprises them rather than just annoying youtube ads that nobody cares of.

Finally, VOD is getting ads and maybe that’s another chance where you can get a bit more creative. Just obviously, you have to be funny and insightful and not so often in consumers presence that it would be so annoying.

Influencer marketing used to be about throwing a random person a free product and a thousand dollars. Now you could produce a citywide OOH campaign for the rates these influencers try to charge. There is no creativity in giving a product to essentially a shortened infomercial.

New job.
Moved from agency after 6yrs, into a startup (€8m Series A, high growth); first marketing hire. My manager is ex VC, seems to like managing by fear, let’s fire X, let’s cut the agency etc. sets tight deadlines & adds urgent items last minute. Others seem to feel I’m doing great but I am butting heads with him constantly about unrealistic workloads etc. Really not enjoying interacting with him, thinking about leaving... should I stick it out? I feel like I’m being abused, but need money!
