Rethinking Creativity with Accenture Song's Nick Law

from The CMO Show

Live from the Adobe AI Forum, this episode is your front‑row seat to a creative reboot with Nick Law, Accenture Song's Chief Creative Chairperson, Aussie expat and veteran of Apple, Publicis and R/GA.   Nick argues that the real opportunity with AI isn't found at the extremes. It lives in what he calls the "missing middle" the space between systems‑obsessed strategists and wildly expressive creatives. It's a space most organisations have let collapse, and rebuilding it will be the differentiator. The marketers who thrive will be the ones who can finally stitch those worlds back together.  And then comes his challenge to leaders: "Work with freaks." Because safe work gets buried. Bold work gets shortlisted, shared and chosen. In buying groups drowning in algorithm‑generated sameness, the unconventional thinker is now your unfair advantage.  If you're a marketer trying to make sense of the AI tidal wave, this conversation is your cheat code. And, yes, he tackles the question everyone's whispering (or panicking) about: "How will AI affect my job?" His answer is surprisingly energising and brutally clear on what stays human.  If you want to design a marketing future where AI is your ally, not your competitor, this episode shows you how. Discover what it means to lead teams where every discipline is becoming an AI discipline, where talent lives everywhere, and where the most powerful differentiators remain value, story and distinctly human ingenuity.    This episode is brought to you by impact advisory, communications and events agency, ImpactInstitute in partnership with Adobe.  www.impactinstitute.com.au | https://business.adobe.com/au
