While AI’s impact and opportunity are top of mind for all integrated communications and PR agency executives, there is a wider disruption happening across agency business models, talent systems, and trust. The firms that evolve with and win in this next chapter will be the ones that make time to relentlessly learn, define value clearly, and keep human capabilities at the forefront – even as they are augmented by technology.Anne Green and Steve Halsey open with takeaways from a recent AI summit they hosted for PROI Worldwide’s Americas region, including what the group is seeing around AI adoption, change management, and the shift from hours and outputs to impact. Then Anne is joined by Kim Sample, President of the PR Council, for a wide-angle conversation on where the industry is headed and what leaders should be thinking about and doing next – including why growth is uneven, why a learning mindset is a critical differentiator in this current moment of change, and advice for both [AG1] agency and corporate-side communications leaders. They also dig into the need for industry leaders to forge a clearer vision for the future of AI and work in our field, stronger ethics and bias guardrails, and the continued centrality of the trusted advisor relationship between agencies and clients.In this episode:
