Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Santa Meets Silicon: The Story Behind Coca-Cola’s AI Campaign
Q: What comes next for Coca-Cola in terms of AI-driven campaigns or partnerships?
Two major projects: a journalism-meets-sports analysis platform around the World Cup with Jose Mourinho and a Halloween-focused Fanta campaign using GENAI, aiming to deepen emotional connections while expanding creative possibilities.
Santa Meets Silicon: The Story Behind Coca-Cola’s AI Campaign
Q: How did you navigate concerns about AI and human creativity within Coca-Cola's creative community?
We validated through social listening that tech experts loved it while some traditional creatives were wary; the key was to keep humans at the center, ensure many hours of human prompting and revisions, and use AI to multiply creativity, not substitute it.
Santa Meets Silicon: The Story Behind Coca-Cola’s AI Campaign
Q: Back in 2021-22 you started Gen AI work; what was the original brief for the holiday campaign and was AI part of it from the start?
The goal was to generate goosebumps and emotional resonance through high-quality storytelling; AI was introduced as a creative partner to augment human craft, not to replace it, with strict focus on preserving the human-led process and the central idea of the holiday season.
Marketing, Rewritten: Life After the First AI Holiday Campaigns
Q: How should marketers today be thinking about creativity in the era of AI?
Creativity comes from everyone's willingness to take risks; AI should amplify bold ideas, not replace human bravery. Marketers should pilot, iterate, and redesign brand systems to leverage AI's capabilities, while telling the human story to connect emotionally with audiences.
Marketing, Rewritten: Life After the First AI Holiday Campaigns
Q: Go back a little bit, walk us through the work that Silverside did on the Coca-Cola campaign. More than one studio was involved.
Silverside started as a lab within Pereira O'Dell, then became an independent unit. Coca-Cola approached them for an experimental holiday piece, which later evolved into the global campaign after testing showed strong performance, leading to broader rollout and a learnings-rich collaboration with Coca-Cola's experienced marketing leadership.
