Have you ever wondered what Oprah Winfrey would look like as Winnie the Pooh? What about the Pope shredding guitar? Darth Vader ice fishing? The chances are, you haven’t. But what if you wanted to? 

The good news is that now you can – and the possibilities don’t end there. 

A new artificial intelligence called DALL-E 2 can create virtually any image from a simple text prompt, such as “an armchair in the form of an avocado” or “a photo of a radish walking a dog.” While this AI is in its initial beta phase, it has already received widespread attention for its potential, both good and bad, and its implications within the art world.

This new AI’s rise to prominence leaves many people wondering; what does DALL-E mean for designers and artists, and if or when will it replace them?

Imagine a perfect world where marketers have unlimited access to customer data across all devices, countries and ecosystems. They have a crystal-clear view of their customers, preferences, and exactly where they are in the buying journey. It sounds nice, doesn’t it?

Today, the unfortunate reality of marketing data privacy is not so simple; developing global privacy laws, changing consumer expectations, and new company policies are making customers harder to describe, actions harder to track and data more expensive.

This has put immense pressure on marketers and companies, forcing them to seek out creative ways around this newfound obstacle.

The last couple of years have been rough on everyone and changed basically everything. A lot has changed since our last look at this subject in 2018. Now more than ever, it’s hard to grab an audience’s attention—and nearly impossible to keep it. People are working harder, rushing around faster, and dealing with a lot more than before. But even so, there are slivers of genius that break through the clamour of daily life and remind us just how special advertising can be. Here’s our take on the best Canadian advertising campaigns in 2021.

Filming anything, whether it’s a movie, documentary, or commercial, involves many moving parts and coordination to make it happen. One person cannot do it alone. It would be best if you had a team of dedicated professionals committed to making the final cut as best as possible.

If you’ve ever done any filming before, you know there is never enough time and money. Even the biggest productions struggle with those two key ingredients – and getting everything done within restraints. A good producer makes the most of what they have and is creative with finding workarounds to the problems that ultimately arise.

At Kipling Media, we have done more than our fair share of videos and commercials, some successfully – and to be honest – some not so successfully. If you’re putting together a film shoot and need some help, we’ve learned some great lessons over the years.

How do you ensure there is no competition for what you do? The answer is strangely simple and straightforward. Design a brand that can’t be duplicated. Creating a brand isn’t rocket science, yet 99% of businesses fail to take the time, even though it would quadruple their sales.
