Is AI Killing Advertising? & Scott's Best Financial Decision

Scott Galloway (Q&A)

AI's impact on the advertising industry: it's not killing advertising, it's killing bad advertising — the commodity creative that agencies used to charge premium rates for. Good advertising (brand storytelling, emotional resonance) gets more valuable. Plus Galloway reveals his best financial decision (buying property in Manhattan in the early 2000s).
