Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
10 Insightful Quotes On Designing A Better Customer ExperienceYuan Wang
In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab.

Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.

Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.
Here at Table19, we believe that great work is only possible when clients and their agencies work together as a team.

This set in motion a desire to understand how and why this had happened, and make sure it never happened again. This presentation details Graham’s learnings and philosophies, and shows how agencies and clients can create better work together.

Building an enduring, multi-billion dollar consumer technology company is hard. As an investor, knowing which startups have the potential to be massive and long-lasting is also hard. From both perspectives, identifying companies with this potential is a combination of “art” and “science” — the art is understanding how products work, and the science is knowing how to measure it. At the earliest stages of a company, it comes down to understanding how a product is built to maximize and leverage user engagement.
In this presentation, Sarah Tavel shares her "Hierarchy of Engagement" framework she uses to evaluate non-transactional consumer companies she is looking to invest in.
The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.

This is the updated version of my successful Interaction 14 talk: http://www.slideshare.net/folletto/the-shift-ux-designers-as-business-consultants
UX is a broad field and designers are increasingly playing a strategic role in many companies. Be that designer.
Businesses are increasingly adopting user-centered approaches to create experiences, moving UX design to be one of the core activities driving the company strategy and operations.
This is an incredibly valuable opportunity that we designers can take to step up and contribute to create the great experiences and services they envision, taking our vision, tools and understanding to a different level. But we need to learn the new skills to play at this table, a table that's often speaking a different language with a lot of politics and different stakeholders.
The Great State of Design with CSS Grid Layout and FriendsStacy Kvernmo
For far too long we've been forced to reuse layout patterns that have worked in the past, creating a web full of sites that all look the same. Narrow timelines, browser support restrictions and lack of a true grid system have led us to create work that is "good enough".
I've spent years exploring how we can make the web a more unique space. With some of the newer CSS techniques available, we can start to make more creative designs. CSS Grid Layout is on the horizon and will play a major role in the design of our sites. Finally having a true, 2 dimensional grid will give our layouts much more flexibility and it is on us to explore the possibilities.
This talk was presented at CSS Day 2016.

The concept of a “brand” is no longer taboo at B2B companies. In fact, strong B2B brands outperform weaker ones by as much as 20%, according to recent research by McKinsey. Yet it’s not easy for ROI-obsessed marketers to justify spending money on their brand, which can be difficult to track. As a result, your brand is too often left either underfunded or on the back-burner altogether.
We’re going to help you solve this. In this presentation you’ll learn:
- How your brand can boost demand generation and other key performance indicators
- The elements of a B2B brand and how those are different from traditional consumer branding
- How to elevate your brand through B2B marketing channels and brand advocates
- Metrics to track the impact of your brand

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.

The cognitive advantage for developers: Leading the charge on innovation with...Susanne Hupfer, Ph.D.
To understand how early adopters are taking advantage of AI, a recent IBM global study garnered insights from more than 600 decision makers worldwide, cross-industry, from IT to line of business, at various stages of cognitive adoption. We learned that organizations already gain major competitive advantage from their use of AI. They achieve a range of business outcomes–from customer engagement to productivity and efficiency and business growth. And a key strategy for many of these organizations making inroads with AI initiatives is to let their developers lead the charge.
The AI renaissance is here. Organizations are using artificial intelligence to stay ahead of the market--unlocking new digital intelligence from large volumes of data. And a key strategy for many of these organizations making inroads with AI initiatives is to let their developers lead the charge.

Marketers' Hopes and Fears for Artificial IntelligenceDavid Berkowitz
What do marketers expect from artificial intelligence? How will AI impact marketers' jobs? Will it play a bigger role in media buying or creative, account management or finance? What do marketers want to get out of it? Why should marketers care about it? And what can marketers learn from the leading thinkers about AI? All of this is covered in research first presented at IAB Conecta in Mexico City in August 2017.
Nell’era digitale, le aziende devono essere capaci di innalzare il grado di collaborazione tra gli utenti non solo per migliorare le modalità di lavoro, ma anche e soprattutto per generare nuove opportunità per la creazione di valore. A trasformarsi deve quindi essere sia lo spazio di lavoro - fisico e virtuale nello stesso tempo - sia la forza lavoro - sempre più distribuita e connessa – sia appunto il modo di lavorare – più agile e automatizzato. Qui allegata la presentazione che Roberta Bigliani, executive lead della IDC Future of Work Practice per IDC Europe, ha portato alla IDC Future of Work Conference 2019 di Milano del 26 febbraio scorso.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover
Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

To understand the impact of AI on creative
operations, we analyzed the data points from a
month-long survey where marketing and creative
leaders across the globe answered questions on
which AI trends were seeing an uplift as we
approach 2024.
While other participating teams included Design
(visual and product) and Brand, we ensured that
every respondent considered for the final data
points and insight belonged to the Creative
Operations scope one way or the other.

especially with their newest update
expanding the tool’s data access beyond
its earlier September 2021 cutoff.
However, I’ve also tried Google Bard AI,
which I really liked, and thus made me

12. AI use within creative teams
will see an uptick in 2024
As much as teams adore and use AI tools like ChatGPT, their
day-to-day tasks are not as AI-enabled as one would assume.
In fact, more than half of the creative teams we surveyed
(53.8%) mentioned that less than 25% of their current tasks
are AI-enabled.

While the individual contributors surveyed

2024.
And in some cases, they’re using paid AI tools
already!
Additionally, nearly 40% of the Business Leaders
who took this survey attend in-person events and

A staggering 77.4% of our survey takers
believe that AI is not going to affect team
size in any way.
One interesting statistic though, is that 30% of the leadership respondents on the list
mentioned that AI might decrease team size. However, it’s the companies with an annual
revenue of less than $1 million that foresee a decrease in team size. The bigger companies do
not think AI will impact workforce size.
This is an interesting tidbit, considering the ones with lower ARR are also probably facing hiring
freezes and budget cuts in this economy and need to be scrappy about their creative content.

It’s not all rosy in the creative operations world, though.
33% still believe that the fear of it replacing creatives is
the main inhibiting factor for their teams when it comes
to AI implementation.
The most popular response (48.9%)
on this survey was that creatives do
not have enough resources to
understand AI. Other important
reasons such as copyright violations
and inaccuracy of information trailed
close behind.
Of all the industries we surveyed, the
most unanimous and conclusive data
on inhibitions were from Media and

Lisa Caras

There are always risks associated with AI tools when it comes
to content generation. Copyright violations being a big inhibition
highlights the need for clear guidelines on how to use AI
ethically.
Media & entertainment
The Software industry has the most number of people claiming
AI provides inaccurate information. A side effect of being in tech
is knowing exactly how trending technology works so this doesn’t
come as a big surprise.

Interestingly, the Food and Beverages industry’s main inhibition (50%)
is that there aren’t enough resources to understand AI. This also bleeds
into their second highest inhibition that AI could replace creatives
rather than help improve creative output.
As Lisa Caras, Marketing Manager at Jones Dairy Farm — an Artwork Flow
customer — says, time is also a resource and her biggest inhibiting factor
is “the time to learn AI.”

Our conversations with creatives have
unveiled one key piece of information:
A majority of their day-to-day tasks go into
administrative work such as meetings and
emails, revisions and endless iterative
reviews, and collaborative bottlenecks.
Our research indicates that creative operations
teams are majorly looking for solutions to
create first drafts, reduce grunt work, and
increase team productivity.
Does this mean creative work
is destined to involve the most
brutal grunt work possible?
No.

“We enjoy using AI to brainstorm content
ideas, but we've learned that for writing
content, it's not advanced enough to copy

can't do yet.
On the other hand, we enjoy prompting the
