Many in-house creative teams find themselves trapped in the "content factory" mindset, churning out deliverables without connecting their work to broader business objectives. This reactive approach devalues creative work in stakeholders' eyes, creating a cycle where teams become disengaged, innovation stalls, and organizations miss critical growth opportunities.

In an era where everyone is talking about AI, Christine Royston, CMO of Wrike, offers a bold new take: AI alone won’t transform Creative Operations—AI agents that reshape workflows will. But even the smartest tech is only as powerful as the people and processes behind it.

In a world reshaped by technology and automation, creative professionals face unprecedented pressures, leaving many wondering if exceptional creativity itself is under threat. 

As the drive for efficiency pushes "good enough" toward dangerous acceptability, join Dax Alexander, Global Managing Director at OLIVER, as he explores why creativity isn't just worth protecting—it's critical to brand success.
