AI × Marketing × Experience

AI isn’t just changing marketing.
It’s changing what’s possible.

Marketing has been transformed by technology before. AI is different. I’m exploring how it will change the way brands create, connect, and build experiences—and what marketers need to rethink now.

What’s possible?

Technology doesn’t replace creativity.
It gives creativity somewhere new to go.

I’ve spent my career watching new technologies change how marketers create and how brands connect with people. Direct mail gave way to email. Websites became experiences. Search, social, mobile and data created new ways to find, understand and engage audiences.

Now we have AI. I’m less interested in what AI might replace than in what it makes possible: new ideas, new experiences, new ways of working—and entirely new questions for marketers to explore.

That’s what I’m exploring

Experiment 001

I gave AI a real marketing brief.

What happens when you ask AI to move beyond generating copy and actually solve a marketing problem?

I gave several AI systems the same challenge and asked them to develop the audience insight, strategy, positioning and campaign. Some of the results were surprisingly good. Some weren’t.

Here’s what I learned
Audience insight?
Strategy ≠ output
What did the model miss?
Prompt 01

Build a strategy, not just a campaign.

About

I’m Chris.

I’m a marketer, strategist and Chief Innovation Officer who’s spent nearly three decades working where technology, creativity and audience behavior intersect.

Most of my career has been in healthcare—an industry where innovation has to coexist with complexity, regulation and very real human consequences.

This site is where I step outside the day job to think, test ideas and explore what’s coming next.
