AI may be changing advertising, but is it really the industry's biggest challenge?

In this episode, Mongezi Mtati sits down with Alistair King, co-founder of former King James, creative at large and Vice-Chairperson of the Philipstown Wirecar Foundation, to unpack the future of creativity, brand building and agency life.

They explore why so much advertising feels predictable, why brands often mistake relevance for imitation, and what made campaigns like Allan Gray and Bell's stand the test of time. 

The conversation also delves into the internationally acclaimed Philipstown Wirecar Grand Prix documentary and what it teaches marketers about culture, storytelling and creating work that genuinely resonates.
