(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDollar Shave Club has begun using generative AI for ad creative, most recently for its Fourth of July campaign, per Modern Retail, showing tactical adoption rather than wholesale replacement.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): don't adopt AI for all creative. Adopt it for the moments where speed matters more than novelty. Seasonal campaigns (July 4th, Black Friday, holiday) run on compressed timelines. Build a brief that specifies the visual tone, the headline hook, and the call-to-action, then generate 20 variations in 90 minutes. Pick the three that land and send them to A/B tests. You've compressed what used to take a week into a half day. Use the time savings for the work that actually needs a human: brand voice, long-form narrative, the moments where the product's story is the point.\nWhat that means for you: The smart operators in 2026 aren't asking 'should we use AI.' They're asking 'which moments are worth human time and which moments are worth speed.' DSC figured out that a July 4th campaign doesn't need a three-week creative session. It needs a tight brief and a fast iteration loop. AI gives you the loop. The human choice is what goes in the brief.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/how-dollar-shave-club-decides-when-to-use-ai-generated-creative/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
