AI Marketing: Scale vs. Quality 🚀✨
Join Concept Community & GetGenAI [getgen.ai] for an insightful panel during LA Tech Week as industry leaders explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the marketing landscape — and the risks emerging alongside rapid innovation.
Marketing no longer scales in tens of ads — it scales in thousands. With AI accelerating creative production, the challenge isn’t whether you can produce content, but how to keep it high-quality, authentic, and localized while meeting compliance standards across diverse markets. These are exactly the challenges GetGenAI helps brands navigate every day.
🎙️ The Panel Will Cover:
- 'Platforms’ 2025 AI shift: What “AI-first ads” mean for the future of campaign creation & compliance.
- From Copilot to Operator: How AI is moving from assistant → orchestrator of marketing workflows.
- Hype vs. Reality: Turning mass AI output into market-ready campaigns.
- Digital twins of content assets: Unlocking localization & personalization — and what that means for compliance, scale & creative nuance.
- What AI can’t (and shouldn’t) do: Why human creativity & cultural insight still matter in an AI-driven world.
👥 Panelists:
- Anastasia Sartan – Founder of GetGenAI, a content review tool helping brands scale compliant marketing.
- Raghu Banda – Enterprise AI leader at SAP with deep experience embedding AI/ML into large-scale organizations, driving strategy, architecture, and measurable business impact.
- Gabriela Camilli – Sr. Associate at Act One Ventures, investing in pre-seed and seed startups, with expertise across early-stage venture, accelerator programs, and platform strategy.
- Dan Grossman – Digital marketing and advertising executive with deep expertise in growth, compliance, and AdTech innovation (Fmr: Snapchat, Sword Health, VaynerMedia).
🎤 Moderator: Lucy Nazaryan, Founder at Concept Community.
Expect a candid, forward-looking conversation packed with tactical insights for founders, marketers, product leaders & teams navigating AI’s next frontier.
