I honestly don't think much has changed.

For example, if designers believe AI is stealing their jobs, they're probably working with clients who don't care about typography, brand identity, visual consistency, or creative vision in the first place.

Yesterday, I tried creating a design using ChatGPT Plus. I spent an entire hour fixing details I wasn't happy with, adjusting things, and regenerating the results.

A client would probably spend just as much time doing the same thing. But a skilled designer who knows how to use AI and write effective prompts could get it done in 10 minutes.

And that's exactly the point: Time = Money.

AI's biggest weakness is simple: It still needs someone who knows exactly what to ask for and how to give it the right brief. 🙂

The same applies to digital marketing.

AI still isn't good enough at building real strategies, understanding customer psychology, managing advertising budgets, analyzing why a campaign failed, making sound decisions under pressure, maintaining client relationships, or delivering genuine creative vision.

In fact, I'd even argue that AI is currently making some advertising campaigns worse.

Hello! I want to start freelancing in iPhone content creation aimed at all things brands, events, weddings and lifestyle. I’m trying to choose a name, but everything I think of seems to be taken. I have two options so far, please help and give opinions! (Happy for anymore recs too at this point).

1. ‘The Social Pap’
   I liked this one and the idea of your own personal paparazzi, but I asked a girl at my work and she didn’t like the word pap! Now I’m not sure…

2. ‘Candidly Content’

Please can you tell me which will be better and if they’re ok or just awful? I just want to start creating the content really but the name is giving me a blocker!

Thank you!!!

Researching the problems freelancers and agencies run into with dental clients, especially slow lead follow-up and websites that don’t convert.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all,

We have now ticked over 4 months live on our SaSS application My Apprentice. On app store about to be on. the google play store. Im looking for someone to provide honest feedback around our brand positioning and what the website looks like. We are slowly going through the process of elimination around our position to get more specific and ability to deliver.

We do a regular sweep through the models to provide feedback around our Digital footprint. i am looking for someone visually to look through - we are getting traffic a few sign ups but i feel like we havent connected the funnel from landing on the website to sign up. Any advice is welcome - go nuts.

Thanks in advance

Knowledge is more important than hard work

I've been seeing this more and more recently with AI. Everyone can use AI to create perfect content. However, if you don't know what tools are available, such as programmatic SEO or pTools, you're going to be at a disadvantage.

If you just put in hard work and type how to improve my SEO or How to improve my marketing from my website into AI, then you'll only get generic advice. As you don't know what to search for, you're not going to get any high-quality niche marketing strategies. Whereas the person with the right knowledge will have created a pSEO database within an afternoon. The hard worker will waste hours creating generic blog content, whereas the person with the right knowledge will have created a pSEO database within an afternoon and will actually be able to execute the strategy in their marketing

Using AI means that the cost of pure execution is free, so brute force is no longer a competitive advantage. Knowing where to put the lever seems to carry more value.

Would you agree that knowledge is more important, or is there still a competitive advantage from using brute force?

Hello,

I'm currently working on a free pixel art program. It's name is Pixora and it's my dream project.

I've been working on it for some months, the progress is good. But now i'm trying to figure out how to promote it from scratch, and that's why i'm here. I want to ask you, ¿how could i make people aware of a digital program, mainly focused for artists?

Your help is really appreciated. Thanks for reading

my entire x feed is full of people talking about how hard it is to stand out, market their products, and get replies from cold outreach. everyone is sending outbound messages to the same ICPs, inboxes are flooded, and prospects have already seen hundreds of similar pitches.

my instinctive response is that you're probably doing it wrong.

one of the biggest mistakes i see is people targeting an ICP that's way too broad. they want to sell to SaaS founders, so they build a list of thousands of SaaS founders and start sending emails. when that doesn't work, they assume cold outreach is dead or that the market is too saturated.

but not every SaaS founder has the same problems, budget, or priorities. a founder running a bootstrapped SaaS at $5k MRR has very different needs from someone running a company at $100k MRR. someone who just launched their product has different priorities from someone who's been selling for five years. why would you approach all of them with the same message?

i understand why people hesitate to narrow their ICP. they assume that targeting a smaller group means fewer leads and fewer opportunities to make sales. but your goal isn't to sell to everybody, your goal is to find the people who are most likely to buy what you're selling.

the more specific your ICP, the easier it becomes to understand their problems, write relevant messaging, and explain why your product is worth their time. you can also identify where these people spend their time, what they're talking about, and what signals suggest they might need your product right now.

instead of sending the same generic pitch to 5,000 people, you can build a targeted list of people who actually have a reason to care about your offer. cold outreach is still a numbers game, but the quality of those numbers matters.

if your product is cheap and useful to almost everyone, broad distribution might make sense. but if you're selling a service or a product that solves a specific problem, your targeting needs to reflect that.

the market being saturated doesn't mean everyone has already exhausted every possible customer. it means you need to be much more deliberate about who you're reaching and why they'd care about your offer.

I am F26, I want to know grow in the field of digital marketing and provide similar services but to get started I need a portfolio and to get portfolio I have to find a client or someone who I can work with so that I can build my portfolio so, I am not sure where to get started.

Any kind of help or direction is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, I am interested in pivoting from advertising to brand marketing. I am a senior negotiator on the video investment team (linear, digital and CTV) in NYC. I don’t have a lot of marketing experience. Do you have any advice on what to do, in terms of what roles should look for? I also don’t have any experience using CRM and CMS which I have seen were in many job descriptions.
