Rethinking creativity in the age of AI with five voices from media, marketing and advocacy
AI can now write, design and edit in seconds. so what happens to creativity in the age of AI?
At our next Nairobi Garage Fireside Chat, five leaders from marketing, influencer management, content creation, consulting and advocacy will take on one question: is originality dead? One speaker says yes, and that it is fine. Others say imagination and the courage to be different matter more than ever.
Beyond the AI hype
This conversation isn’t about whether to use AI. It is about what people still bring to the table when anyone can produce content in seconds, and what makes work worth remembering. The chat looks at how AI, algorithms and trends are reshaping creativity and the future of content creation.
Hear it from the speakers
Billy Arigi, Client Solutions Manager, Aleph
“Originality is dead, and that’s fine; AI can generate the baseline, but owning the vision, steering the chaos, and driving execution is what actually creates real value.”
Rachael Nangami, TikTok content creator and influencer
“Creativity is about thinking deeply, questioning assumptions, and bringing original ideas to life. In an age where AI can generate, our distinctly human ability to imagine, discern, and create meaning becomes even more valuable.”
Douglas Njiraini, Consultant, Africa Century Group
“AI didn’t invent forgettable marketing; we were churning that out long before the machines showed up. Now that anyone can generate content by the truckload, the real edge is having something worth saying.”
Judith Ogutu, Senior Manager, Communications, Paradigm Initiative
“The tricky balance with the advent of artificial intelligence is retaining originality and humanness in a space where everyone can literally create music, art, films and content.”
Joyce Kawelu, Influencer Manager, Ogilvy Africa (WPP)
“Everyone wants to be creative until it’s time to be different. We’ve become so obsessed with what works that we’re forgetting what makes people stop, feel something and remember.”
