Brand Promise presents AI series

The release of generative artificial intelligence product ChatGPT last November has captured the world’s interest. With equal parts excitement, anxiety and apprehension, PR and marketing agencies are considering its impact on how they support their clients’ brands. From conversations with the leader of IPREX Global Communications, one of the world’s largest networks of PR and communications firms, to agency leaders in Singapore, Finland, U.K., Mexico, Chicago and Kansas City, our podcast series “AI and Your Brand” explores the positives, negatives and unknowns of AI. Hear each guest agree, in their own words, that AI is here to stay. Learn how they’re working to embrace it while also finding ways to ensure human insight and oversight in its application.

Please join us as we hear from:

About the Author: Nick Vehr

If Nick ever needs a personal slogan, a good one would be, “I’m open!” Whether catching passes as a Notre Dame football player (including from Joe Montana) or tackling any personal or professional challenge with a “We can do this!” enthusiasm, he’s open. That game attitude informs every project he takes on — and he’s taken on countless complex ones, including serving as managing director for the massive World Choir Games and founding Cincinnati 2012, Inc. to pursue designation for Cincinnati as a “U.S. Olympic Bid City.” Thanks to his varied background, from his past as a Cincinnati City Council member to his present as chair of the Economics Center at the University of Cincinnati, Nick understands the tough issues. Which is why anytime things hit the fan for a company, organization or local influencer, they call Nick.
