AI-powered video tools have made glossy production values a commodity, so what’s left to set your brand apart? In this punchy episode, host Guy Bauer (founder & creative director of Umault) serves up a hard truth: entertaining your audience is now non-negotiable.

Guy unpacks how next-gen platforms like Veo 3, Kling 2.1, and a flood of other text-to-video engines have leveled the playing field. Anybody can crank out a slick 30-second spot with “people laughing at sinks” (listen to the episode for this to make sense), holographic dashboards, and a generic voice-over. The result? Those once-premium visuals are just table stakes.

Drawing on a tongue-in-cheek cybersecurity ad he generated in seconds, Guy illustrates why story, and genuine viewer delight, are the new differentiators. Whether you’re an in-house B2B marketer, agency lead, or brand storyteller, you’ll leave with a clear mandate: stop blending in and start delivering value within the ad itself.

Listen for a dose of reality, a spark of inspiration, and a challenge to make your next video ad impossible to ignore.
