In this episode of Creative Intelligence, Kartik Hosanagar sits down with David Droga—CEO of Accenture Song and founder of the legendary agency Droga5—to explore how AI is reshaping the creative industry. From the evolving role of CMOs to the future of ad agencies, they discuss why creativity and technology must now move hand in hand. Droga shares why not all creativity is worth saving, how AI can elevate originality (not just efficiency), and why the best creative minds today must also be doers.

In this episode of Creative Intelligence, author Sangeet Paul Choudary joins Kartik Hosanagar to unpack why the popular phrase “AI won’t take your job, but someone using AI will” is a dangerous oversimplification. Instead of just changing tasks, AI is transforming the entire system of work—reshaping roles, workflows, and even the structure of organizations. If you want to stay relevant in the age of AI, this conversation is essential.
