Welcome to your Sunday morning. We have good stuff for you, so grab a warm mug of coffee or tea, and check out the stories and articles we’ve chosen for you this morning.
1. The DL on AI
Everywhere we went at CES last month, the talk was about AI – or Artificial Intelligence. This article in AdWeek is one the best we’ve seen that breaks down AI, and illustrates how it can be used in a variety of products and brands. The Amazon Echo section is especially worth noting. Read it here. (10 minutes…and worth every minute)
2. Why companies hire the wrong people
A must-read for all managers. This Harvard Business Review article cuts right to the quick. It could be renamed “Why the best sales people don’t always make the best GSMs.” You can read it here. (5 minutes)
3. Building a creative culture
Every company, station, and yes, morning show needs to generate as much creativity as possible as the media environment gets even more crowded. The Drum has a nice piece written by a UK ad agency exec about how to pull it off. Read it here. (3 minutes)
4. Another sign there’s a vinyl comeback
Yes, there’s a company that will press your ashes into a vinyl record. Wonder what’s on the B-side? It’s all here. (1 minute)
5. The Oscars by the numbers
To get you ready for tonight’s show, here’s a nifty infographic about the Academy Awards. Check it out here. (3-5 minutes depending on your interest level)
Have a great week!
