Hi there,

What's the golden rule in marketing and design? Steal from the best. It's a loose "steal", obviously... you've never danced through lasers to nab a color scheme. But when you want results, you listen to the ones who've already got them.

In that spirit, we've got over a dozen creative and marketing experts dying to share a few things you desperately need to know about working with AI.

Put the balaclava and lockpicks away, but keep your lootbag out.

5 AI tips AI experts need you to know 🙏

We gathered AI, creative, and marketing's best and brightest to run you through the stuff you need to know before you set one more foot into AI's waters.

There are way more than 5, but, you know... baby steps.

1. Don't expect things to be easy. 😅 The cardinal sin most designers and marketers commit is putting low effort into their prompts and strategy around AI. It's going to be a full-time job if you want it to pay off.

2. Be hyper-critical. 😡 If you're looking for an outlet for your inner control freak, here's your space. Be persnickety about everything AI gives you if you want it to convince anyone.

3. Recognize emotion as the biggest barrier. 🔥 😡🔥 The main reason teams stagnate with AI is they don't feel good about it. The reasons for the feeling vary, but you won't go anywhere without reconciling them.

4. Create SOPs. 📝 Tell AI how YOU like task X done. It’s giving AI your playbook—clear instructions on what needs to be done and how to do it.

5. Interrogate "bad" output. 🔦 Learn from the bot's failure. Asking yourself what you don't like about a response is often a key to getting one you do like.
