Young Lion's Perspective on the Future of AI x Advertising: Ronaldo Cordova
Super Unfiltered
A D&AD Yellow Pencil winner just admitted something most creatives won't say out loud. Ronaldo Cordova, who went from Ecuador to winning one of advertising's most prestigious awards, uses AI on every brief. Even when clients explicitly say "don't use AI." His logic? They're buying the work, not the process. Here's what he revealed in our latest Super Unfiltered conversation: → The invisible revolution: While agencies debate AI ethics, Ronaldo uses ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Runway on client work—and clients never notice. They just see award-winning results delivered faster. → The beer...

Rebuilding the Creative Process with Generative AI: Milton and Jones
Super Unfiltered
When execution becomes free, what are you really selling? Milton Correa and Jones Krahl just revealed something uncomfortable: the ad industry's sacred "1% idea, 99% execution" rule died. AI killed it. Here's what they shared in our latest Super Unfiltered conversation: → The vinyl-doll paradox: A trend went viral not because of production quality (AI made that accessible to everyone), but because the concept was novel. When everyone has the same tools, the idea is all that's left. → Personalization at scale is table stakes: Their clients aren't asking if they can create thousands of...

Leading Teams from AI Curious to AI Capable: Taryn Crouthers
Super Unfiltered
Most leaders know they should be adopting AI. But knowing and doing are very different things, especially when your team is skeptical, overwhelmed, or waiting for someone else to go first. Taryn Crouthers didn't wait. As a former leader at ATTN:, she co-hosted the Women in AI Summit and helped launch a cohort specifically for women in media and marketing who felt left out of the AI conversation. Not because she was a technical expert. Because she asked: "Why not me?" In this episode, we sit down with Taryn Crouthers—CEO of SPCSHP, formerly President of ATTN:, and co-host of the Women in AI...

From AI Experiments to Brand Growth: Carole Irgang

Why We're Here (And Why Now): Intro to Super Unfiltered
Super Unfiltered
AI isn't coming to marketing, it's already here. But if you're a CMO trying to separate signal from noise, good luck. Every vendor promises transformation. Every conference has an AI track.

info_outlineWhen compliance becomes a creativity bottleneck, what gets built?
James Murphy just revealed what happens when you bring AI into the most risk-averse industry on earth: banking.
Here's what the SVP Creative Brand Lead at U.S. Bank shared in our latest Super Unfiltered conversation:
→ The trust paradox: Finance lives and dies on authenticity, but AI-generated content exists in a legal gray zone. When Midjourney spits out artwork, who owns it? Who clears it? And how do you make sure a prompt doesn't accidentally infringe on Disney, or worse, erode customer trust?
→ The junior creative survival question: Art directors used to spend year one comping storyboards. Now AI can rough-cut video on demand. So what do their first five years look like when the grunt work disappears?
→ 80% of U.S. banks hiked AI spend in 2025: Some by 25% or more. But they're not just betting on content generation, they're navigating the tightrope between personalization at scale and regulatory compliance that can kill a campaign in seconds.
The uncomfortable truth? When everyone can produce at the same speed, regulated industries like banking face a choice: embrace the sameness or build guardrails that actually protect what makes them different.
So here's Supergood's question: When AI removes the friction from execution, does compliance become your new competitive advantage, or your creative death sentence?
