AI Transformation

Join us for an insightful conversation with Teresa Fusaro, Global Senior Director of GenAI Creativity and seasoned executive with over 15 years of experience at the intersection of marketing, technology, and AI transformation, as she shares the realities of leading creative AI transformation at a global scale across some of the world's most iconic consumer brands.Having supported Nestlé, Adidas, and Reckitt through their digital transformation journeys, Teresa brings a grounded, human-first perspective on what it truly takes to embed AI into a global organization — not just as a technology shift, but as a cultural and governance evolution.In this episode, Teresa unpacks how Reckitt built its Responsible AI Principles framework, why people and resistance to change remain the biggest obstacle in any transformation, and how a groundbreaking digital twins pilot with Google for Lysol is redefining what ethical AI-generated video looks like in advertising.Key Takeaways:People Over Technology: The biggest barrier to AI transformation is never the tech — it's human resistance and fear of replacement. Leaders must communicate the why before pushing the howResponsible AI as a Living Framework: Ethical principles must evolve alongside technology. Reckitt's fairness and inclusivity guidelines were revisited and adapted when AI video generation became production-readyDigital Twins as an Ethical Solution: Rather than going fully synthetic, Reckitt pioneered a model using real, fairly compensated actors as AI-amplified avatars — setting a new industry standard for ethical AI videoGlobal Governance, Local Flexibility: Enterprise AI programs must have a strong global core while remaining adaptable to local regulations, consumer perceptions, and market realitiesBrain Capital is the New Competitive Edge: As AI becomes universally available, what differentiates companies will be human capabilities — creativity, adaptability, complex problem solving, and resilienceBrands Taking Back Creative Control: Just as brands built in-house media teams 20 years ago, a similar revolution is underway in creative production — brands are reclaiming transparency and control over their contentThe Evolving Role of Agencies: Agencies still own the big idea and the creative vision — but brands are demanding more visibility into how content is developed and which AI tools are being usedPerfect for marketing leaders, creative directors, digital transformation executives, and consumer goods professionals looking to understand how to build responsible, scalable, and human-centered AI programs across global organizations.Teresa also shares her personal tech stack, highlighting tools like Notebook LM and Lovable as game-changers for productivity and presentation building, along with her go-to learning resources for staying ahead in the AI space."AI is no longer a competitive advantage — all companies will have it in some form. The difference will lie in brain capital: how good companies are at fostering creativity, adaptability, and complex problem solving in their people." — Teresa Fusaro

Join us for a forward-thinking conversation with Victor Madueno, Senior Director at FDI Consulting and globally recognized leader in digital assets, AI, and blockchain, as he explores the powerful convergence of two transformational technologies reshaping business and society.With over 20 years of experience advising businesses, governments, and financial institutions across the Middle East and globally, Victor shares how AI and blockchain are not competing forces — they are complementary pillars of the next digital economy.In this episode, Victor breaks down how agentic AI demands a new layer of trust that blockchain uniquely provides, why most companies are adapting instead of truly transforming, and how individuals and organizations can unlock the full potential of AI by changing not just their tools — but their mindset.Key Takeaways:AI + Blockchain = Trust: As AI agents operate autonomously and transact with digital assets, blockchain's immutable ledger provides the security and traceability layer enterprises need to operate confidentlyAdaptation vs. Transformation: Most companies are fitting AI into existing operating models — a critical mistake. True transformation means redesigning workflows from scratch around AI's full capabilitiesPrompting with Purpose: Heavy AI users don't treat it like Google. They build long, context-rich prompts, iterate continuously, and know exactly what outcome they're driving towardExperience is the New Edge: Senior professionals with decades of domain expertise can elevate AI output from 80% to 99% quality — making experience more valuable than ever in an AI-first worldThe $1B One-Person Company: Agentic AI is making it possible to build high-value businesses with minimal headcount, fundamentally disrupting traditional enterprise cost structuresMindset Over Toolset: Competitiveness in the AI era comes down to the hours you invest in exploration and practice — those who put in the time will outpace those who don'tHumanity in AI: The next frontier is bringing human values, emotion, and authentic decision-making into AI systems — not just efficiencyPerfect for business leaders, digital transformation executives, blockchain enthusiasts, and marketing and technology professionals looking to understand where AI is truly heading — and how to position themselves ahead of the curve.Victor also references resources including free AI courses, hands-on experimentation with Claude, Cursor, and Lovable, and the importance of building your own agents to accelerate learning."If we look at AI and the capabilities that it has and a complete new architecture, and we try to redesign our operating models towards that as a benefit — we will start seeing way more benefits." — Victor Madueno

We also get into the geopolitics of AI, the growing inequality gap, and why the next two years will be unlike anything we've seen.If you're a leader trying to figure out where to actually start — this one's for you.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about AI transformation in the marketing and agency world with Fergus Dyer-Smith, Chief Product Officer at MSQ and CEO of M3 Labs. With a background rooted in product development, Fergus and his team build and deploy AI tools — including Assist, BrandCheck, Preflight, and Wave — for enterprise clients like WPP, Google, and Toyota. Fergus shares hard-won insights on what it actually takes to get AI working at scale inside large organisations.In this episode, Fergus reveals why agencies were the first — not the last — sector to be disrupted by AI, and what that means for the future of the industry. He discusses why 90% of AI pilots fail and how companies can flip the script, the unique advantage mid-size agencies have over holding groups, and how human relationships remain the most defensible moat in an AI-driven world.The Agency Paradox: Agencies are service-based businesses that many assumed AI would hit last — yet they are being disrupted first, creating both risk and enormous opportunity for those who move fast.The 90% Pilot Failure Rate: Most pilots fail because companies ask "how do we get AI deployed?" instead of "what problems can AI solve?" The 10% that work are now driving budget increases across the board.The Mid-Size Advantage: Large holding groups have firepower but lack agility. Mid-size agencies can move fast enough to deploy new tooling while still having the resources to compete.The Human Moat: As AI output becomes commoditised, relationships, trust, and the ability to co-evolve with clients become the true differentiators — things AI cannot replace.The Interface Question: From voice-to-text to agentic systems like OpenClaw, the very concept of how humans interact with technology is being redefined — and it could reshape entire business models.Perfect for CMOs, CTOs, agency leaders, and business executives navigating AI transformation, particularly those managing large teams through cultural and technological change.Fergus also shares his personal AI stack — including Claude, Cursor, Perplexity, Gemini, and Whisper Flow — and why staying on top of AI today means choosing a few trusted channels and committing to the pace."Humans are fundamentally lazy — they like to pass work off onto other people. But that's actually an opportunity: yes, we want to own our data and our rails, but can you come in and build it and manage it for us?" — Fergus Dyer-Smith

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about strategic AI implementation and organizational transformation with David Vivancos, serial entrepreneur and AI advisor. With five digital startups co-founded since 1995, six published books including Artificracia, and over a decade advising 35+ global brands on AI transformation including Keenfolks, David shares hard-won insights on what actually works in enterprise AI adoption.In this episode, David reveals the critical mistakes executives make when implementing AI—from CTOs who ignore the people side of transformation to CMOs who plan too far ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape. He discusses why 90% of AI pilots fail to deliver ROI and shares his framework for successful implementation: quality data, the right partners, measuring progress in weeks not months, and building core AI capabilities in-house when it creates competitive advantage.The People Mistake: CTOs fail by not involving HR early—technology without human adoption creates friction. Successful AI transformation requires working side-by-side with employees, not just offering training courses.The Speed Paradox: CMOs plan too far ahead in a landscape where "what was science fiction two weeks ago is reality today." Small iterative tests beat long-term roadmaps in fast-moving AI markets.The 90% Pilot Failure Rate: Most pilots fail because companies treat AI as a superficial layer over legacy systems instead of addressing foundational elements first.Build vs. Buy Decision: For unique data and competitive differentiation, build in-house AI capabilities. For generic use cases, leverage hyperscalers like OpenAI and Anthropic.Execution Over Planning: Success comes from quality data, choosing the right implementation partners, measuring in weeks not months, and getting people on board before building.Perfect for CTOs, CMOs, business leaders, and executives navigating AI transformation in enterprise environments, particularly in banking, CPG, pharma, and telecom sectors.David also discusses the importance of mixing senior employee experience with AI tools, balancing in-house development with external platforms, and why successful organisations create small agile AI teams that move fast and scale effectively."You need to see what data you send to these hyperscalers. If you send too much internal data, it's going to be tricky. There should be a mix—and if you're a big company, I fully recommend having some things in-house."— David Vivancos

Join us for an illuminating conversation about how AI is revolutionizing creative development and marketing in the consumer packaged goods sector with Elena Espinoza, Marketing Director at Lipton ICE-T Latam. With 17 years of experience across CPG and pharma industries, Elena shares how she's leading AI-driven marketing transformation through the PepsiCo-Unilever joint venture.In this episode, Elena reveals how her team transformed creative development from week-long agency processes to just five minutes using ethically-trained AI tools like Adobe Firefly and Copilot. She discusses moving from traditional agency workflows with multiple layers to direct in-house collaboration with creative teams, using AI for storyboarding, talent casting, and pre-production planning.Key Takeaways:Speed in Creative Development: Moving from week-long briefing and agency processes to creating concepts in minutes with in-house teams trained on AI toolsAI in Production: Using Firefly to create final storyboard images, identify talent characteristics, and plan shoots—Elena's team completed a Latin America campaign where casting was done based on AI-generated imagesCampaign Results: In one Brazil campaign, using only six assets over eight weeks, the team delivered their targets in reach, engagement, and frequency three weeks early because the assets performed so well with the algorithmQuality Over Quantity in Digital: For Meta campaigns focused on awareness and reach, fewer optimized assets often work better than many assets, with proper attention to wear-out monitoringHuman Necessity: AI is a tool and resource, not a replacement—humans are still needed for insights, human truths, passion, and the feeling behind brands. AI answers can feel "cold" without human refinementMulti-Market Reality: AI helps with standardization and translation, but local teams are essential for adapting language, slang, and cultural nuances across different Spanish-speaking countries and BrazilLearning Approach: Start by trying AI tools on non-critical tasks first, access internal training if available at your company, and be curious about embracing changePerfect for marketing leaders, brand managers, creative directors, and executives in CPG, retail, or any consumer-facing industry looking to implement AI-driven creative workflows.Elena also shares resources including internal Copilot and Firefly training at PepsiCo and Unilever, "She Runs on AI" community addressing feminine perspectives in AI, and free resources available on YouTube, Spotify, and platforms like Sector."AI is a tool, is a resource that we have. It's not someone that's replacing my creative design team or my agency or the managers that work with me, because we still need humans to be behind the human truths, the insights, even the feeling that you get and the passion." - Elena Spinoza
