Azeem Ahmad: Ads have to be 10 out of 10 for them to succeed.

Kenny Skelton: I felt like if I was the boss of the AI, then you would always have a job. However, having experienced it much more recently, it’s actually about collaborating with it.

Ahmad: Nobody who wants trainers, for example, will see an ad that says buy these trainers and then end up buying them. You want to be sold the story, you want to be sold the benefits of it.

Rose: They see something in the street, they can use Google Lens to find out where it’s from. So, I actually think we as marketers and search marketers need to not only be understanding how to facilitate search demand, how do we drive it in the first place? How do we influence people in the street? How do we influence people in stores?

01:52
Ahmad: What matters is what your audience is typing into that search bar. The richest source of data is literally right there, so understanding the data that’s literally given to you, a total gold mine, will help you create stronger copy, stronger ads.

Skelton: It has to be able to get me from looking at it to purchasing at a light speed.
