One phrase changed how people think about health: “Sitting is the new smoking.” It wasn’t memorable because it attacked sitting. It was memorable because it challenged something we’d accepted as normal. I think creative organizations are approaching a similar moment. For years, the default response to increasing creative demand has been to hire another graphic designer. I’m not convinced that’s the bottleneck anymore. The real bottleneck is often creative leadership. When designers spend their time interpreting vague feedback, prioritizing requests, chasing approvals, and writing strategy instead of designing, adding another designer rarely fixes the problem. Creative leadership multiplies creative output. Better briefs.
Better systems.
Better prioritization.
Better feedback.
Better decisions. If you’re building a marketing, communications, or creative department, I’d love to hear what’s been the biggest bottleneck for your team. If this resonates, send me a DM. I’d love to compare notes. (Also... shoutout to @hardeightbbq for the hat. 🤝) Recipe because apparently this is also a beverage account now. 🥤 Viral Fridge Cig

AI isn’t killing the creative industry. It’s exposing it. I’ve been seeing musicians, photographers, designers, filmmakers, and all kinds of creatives using AI-generated graphics to promote the fact that they’re… creatives. Honestly? I’ve done it too. That’s what makes this conversation so fascinating. We’re artisans using AI to tell people they should hire an artisan. The truth is, this isn’t really an AI problem. It’s an economics problem. The market has always rewarded faster, cheaper, and “good enough.” AI just turned that dial to 100. If a musician is okay using AI for their promo flyer, is it really crazy that someone else uses AI for a demo instrumental? If a designer uses AI for concept work, can they really be shocked when a client asks if AI can replace the final deliverable? None of this is simple. I don’t think craftsmanship is dead. I actually think it becomes more valuable. But I do think AI is forcing every creative to answer one uncomfortable question: What part of my work is truly worth paying a human for? That’s the conversation we should be having. Let me know your thoughts! #ArtificialIntelligence #CreativeEconomy #GraphicDesign #MusicIndustry #CreativeLeadership
