Explore how AI is reshaping the advertising industry across the world. From speeding up research to enhancing creative processes, discover how AI is revolutionizing the way agencies work.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in the advertising industry in across the world, offering both efficiency and new possibilities. Chima Okenimkpe, Executive Creative Director at Publicis West Africa and based in Ghana, provides insight into how AI is changing the landscape of advertising in the country.
AI has become an indispensable tool for agencies, facilitating everything from research and market analysis to creative ideation and generation. Its strength lies in its ability to rapidly process initial phases of the advertising process, presenting a wide range of possibilities in a fraction of the time it would take a human. For example, AI can now generate stunning images and realistic voiceovers with remarkable accuracy and speed.
However, Okenimkpe emphasizes that while AI is a powerful tool, it is most effective when used by those who already possess a strong grasp of their craft. AI can guide and inspire but cannot replace the nuanced creativity and expertise that experienced professionals bring to the table. For instance, AI might help in generating impressive visuals for advertisements or create a convincing voiceover, but the creation of a compelling and impactful ad still relies heavily on human creativity and skill.
The impact of AI is particularly evident in the realm of image banks, which were once a major component of the advertising industry. Today, AI has largely taken over this space, providing more accurate and diverse results with significantly less effort.
In summary, AI is enhancing the advertising process in Ghana by offering new tools and efficiencies. Yet, it is crucial for creatives to blend these technological advancements with their own expertise to create truly outstanding advertising campaigns.
