The buzz around AI in marketing has shifted from "will it happen?" to "why is it taking so long to work?".

AI er ikke magi. Det er en ordentlig brief.

Langt de fleste bruger AI luddovent. To linjers prompt. Halv brief. Fuld forventning. Vores erfaring? Det er ikke modellen, der afgør kvaliteten. Det er strukturen omkring den.
