Happy Friday everyone,

Let’s say we did it with AI and everyone will think we’re cool…. said every advertising agency in the world during 2023. Including the first one in our list this week. HOWEVER… regardless of how much AI was consumed or harmed during the making of the ad the output is really, really lovely.

Have an immense Friday.
