Tools / Bucket 3

Content and creative

High-volume production with AI while keeping a distinctive voice. The difference between scaling content and scaling mush.

Tools and platforms

/Claude

Anthropic's AI. Good for long-form writing, strategic thinking, and working with detailed briefs. Follows complex instructions and voice guidelines well when you give it the right context.

/ChatGPT

OpenAI's AI. Strong for brainstorming, quick drafts, and conversational content. Widely used but requires editing for voice consistency.

/Figma

Design tool for creating ad creatives, landing pages, and brand assets. The industry standard for collaborative design. AI plugins are extending what non-designers can do.

/Canva

Design tool for people who are not designers. Templates, brand kits, and AI-powered generation. Good enough for social content, email headers, and presentation decks.

/AI image generation (Midjourney, DALL-E)

Generate images from text prompts. Useful for concepts, mood boards, and social content. Not yet reliable enough for final brand assets without human direction.

What AI does vs what you do

AI handles
  • First drafts of copy at speed
  • Headline and subject line variants (50 in seconds)
  • Cross-platform adaptation (blog post to 10 social variants)
  • Image generation for concepts and mood boards
  • Translation and localisation
You decide
  • Create the creative concept and strategic direction
  • Define the brand voice blueprint (the lines it would say, and the lines it would never say)
  • Build the messaging framework that keeps AI output consistent
  • Judge which output is good enough and which is mush
  • Feed real customer language, not brand adjectives

Skills to develop

/Creative concept development
/Brand voice definition and consistency
/Brief writing (the quality of the brief determines the quality of the output)
/Messaging framework creation
/Editing for distinctiveness, not just correctness
/Knowing when AI output sounds like everyone else

The human creates the blueprint. AI mass-produces from it. Feed your positioning, voice rules, and customer verbatims into every prompt. Now AI is not producing generic content. It is producing your content, at scale.
