Last week, Philly Ad Club’s Impact & Innovation event explored the evolving relationship between AI and the creative process. Hosted at the Audacy, Inc. Performance Studio in Philadelphia, the event delivered eye-opening insights, live demos, and a thought-provoking fireside chat featuring Adobe’s Jason Druss and O3’s Christine Sheller. Key takeaways: ?? AI is an enabler, not a replacement. As Jason put it, “AI doesn’t replace jobs—it expands creative capacity, increases revenue, and creates more opportunities.” ?? Live demo magic. Attendees witnessed firsthand how AI-powered tools in Premiere Pro & After Effects are accelerating workflows while keeping human creativity at the center. ??Shifting from fear to opportunity. While concerns about AI’s impact on creative fields are valid, the conversation reminded us that just like the early days of the internet, new tools unlock new possibilities—not diminish them. The biggest takeaway? The future of creativity is a partnership between human ingenuity and technology. AI is here to enhance, streamline, and push artistic boundaries, allowing us to create more, faster, and better than ever before. A huge thank you to Philly Ad Club, Adobe, Audacy, Cynthia Weiss, and everyone who joined the conversation.
