BI spoke to Stagwell CEO, Mark Penn, in December about the potential of AI, its applications at Stagwell, and why b-to-c companies need to focus use AI to connect with customers. Unlike the metaverse or some other trends, the power of AI, what it can do, and what companies need to do to harness it is real. If you look at advertising itself and what it takes to really generate tier-one [premium] content, I always say AI is having an entire group of C students. Say you're an office supply company. I don't think companies put as much time into that.
