AI, Brand Blandness & the Creative Fight to Stand Out

In this conversation recorded at Web Summit Rio, David Savage sits down with Lisa Smith, Global Executive Creative Director at Jones Knowles Ritchie, to unpack the tension between creativity, AI, and brand identity. Lisa challenges the notion that AI equals innovation—arguing that in too many cases, it simply accelerates blandness. With nearly two decades of design and strategy experience, she explains why truly distinctive branding still requires human insight, cultural fluency, and original thought. This episode is a must-listen for brand leaders, marketers, and creative technologists who want to build relevance in an increasingly automated world.
