AI in advertising and marketing agencies: creativity, media planning and M&A

AI is reshaping the agency world — faster than any transformation before it.

In Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips’ latest Global AI in TMT webinar, AI in Advertising & Marketing Agencies: Creativity, Media Planning & M&A, industry leaders from McKinsey, Horizon Media, The Brandtech Group, and Huge shared how AI is rewriting creativity, redefining media strategy, and fueling a new wave of M&A across the industry.

Key themes:

– Generative AI is revolutionizing creative production and personalization.

– Media planning is now powered by intelligent, people-first platforms.

– Agentic AI will soon plan and negotiate campaigns — transforming workflows.

– Success depends on readiness: toolset, skillset, and, above all, mindset.

As our Partner John Kaiser summed up: “If you’re not using AI yet, start now — or risk being left behind.”
