👏🏻 Welcome back – Season 2, Episode 3!

🎉Time to roll up our sleeves and get on with it. We'll firing on all cylinders and excited to get back up and running with our regular monthly events. Join us on Thursday 25th June, 7:30pm on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAbAs0g_t7M&feature=youtu.be

We're tweaking the schedule and making some improvements. We'll be hosting an action packed 1-hour event with the following line up:

🎙 Host = Jeremy, with Shane & the team pulling levers and pressing buttons.

🎙 Kerry Harrison and Richard Norton from TINY GIANT will be our speakers for the evening - "Everything you wanted to know about Creative AI but were afraid to ask".

AI's gonna take your job, right? Wrong! AI can't be creative, right? Wrong! AI can't help you cut loose from the crowd, right? Wrong! Artificial Intelligence gets a ton of coverage in the media, but most of what's written about it is inaccurate and ill-informed. What you need is a practical, no-nonsense steer from a couple of battle-hardened marketeers who use it commercially every week. In this talk, Kerry Harrison and Richard Norton of award-winning North Somerset start-up Tiny Giant will take you on a whistle-stop tour of how AI and humans are collaborating to create work that helps brands and businesses stand out and land their ambitions. They'll show you an array of practical examples from around the world, along with some of the recent projects they've worked on. Find out how a small Bristol distillery got press coverage on five continents within 48 hours. Learn how a humble dataset has evolved into the face of the UK's leading science festival. Discover the crowd-pulling, attention-grabbing appeal of AI-powered sport. You will not win the future by playing safe. If you spend valuable time and money on marketing, it needs to get noticed. If it doesn't, everything else is immaterial. The agile combination of machines and minds offers your business creative superpowers to help it fly high above all that is dreary, dull and derivative. You'll exit this event feeling suitably fired up and inspired at what you can achieve if you open your mind and let machines into your life. Since their formation in 2018, Tiny Giant have helped pioneering brands create stand-out ideas, craft experiences and confidently step into new media and tech. Recent clients include the likes of the BBC, Deloitte, Cheltenham Science Festival and Discover AI. In December 2019, they won Gold at the prestigious Data & Marketing Awards for Best Use Of AI.
