Here’s where to start: Identify bottlenecks AI can eliminate. Automate workflows to scale faster. Free your teams from repetitive tasks. This isn’t about replacing people—it’s about empowering them. Automation doesn’t just save time. It fuels creativity, innovation, and growth. Leaders who act now? They won’t just stay ahead—they’ll reshape the game. Are you ready? #Leadership #AI #Innovation

Why Early Gen AI Ads Aren’t Working—and How StoryTap Cracks the Code In a recent article, Digiday explored why some of the first generative AI-driven ad campaigns are falling flat. Spoiler: they lack authenticity and fail to connect emotionally with consumers. StoryTap takes a completely different approach. 💡 AI That Amplifies Authenticity: Instead of generating content, StoryTap’s AI platform curates and enhances real customer stories. This ensures that every video resonates with audiences while staying true to the brand. 🤝 The Human Element Meets AI Power: By focusing on authentic consumer-generated video, StoryTap bridges the gap between technology and trust. AI handles scalability and alignment, while customers’ voices do the connecting. 📊 The Results? They Speak for Themselves: StoryTap’s customers see higher engagement, improved conversions, and deeper consumer loyalty because their content feels real—because it is. As brands experiment with AI, the key isn’t to replace the human element but to elevate it. Authenticity drives results, and StoryTap is proving it one video at a time. Curious how StoryTap could elevate your brand storytelling? Let’s connect. #AI #Storytelling #Marketing #Innovation Bernadette Butler, StoryTap, Refinery Ventures
