We don't often consider the cost of not doing things right. When you get into business, you're often strapped for cash, time, and resources, so we look for places to spend less, or not spend at all. Is your customers' first impression of you good? awedity.com

Maybe your brand is a little too perfect, and that's your flaw. We're judgy, and our judgment towards perfection is not giving the vibes it used to. aweditycreative.com/post/you…

How long do you think your brand can produce AI slop before it affects your integrity? --asking for all of humanity

The stats have it. I think this will be interesting to watch over time, and I think after a year of AI slop posters and content, copywriters and graphic designers will be premium.

We didn’t regulate stupidity and now it’s using AI

You can. You get to choose who you interact with, and there's a wonderful freedom in that.

Its ok not to be perfect. I think we can all relax a little. (a little) With the perfection of AI and worldly standards, we're going to rebel against the perfect nature of everything in search of the ugly, the real, and the different.

Nudgestock was themed 'Trust Issues' and rightly so. But its not just AI -- Two-factor authorization --That clunky CRM tool --Excel --Social Media --6 communication platforms So, AI is just the latest piece of technology we're all obligated to use.

People are swapping instead of using them in conjunction. AI is better when used with humans, not instead —> whether in a workflow, writing a post, or design — it put you back into what you are creating.

AI has its own design style, and I personally like the aesthetic, its clever, distinct, polished and effective, and soon it will be everywhere, which will ruin it all. Will we begin to like this design more, or will we shun it as known AI like the em-dash?

As businesses plan their 2027 budget, its interesting to look back on what Gartner discovered about the state of marketing in 2026 and the impct, or lack of, its having. Marketing isn't about spending more, it's about spending where you want results. aweditycreative.com/post/les…

This sounds soo cheesy, even as I post it, but its true. No future was created because we sat there and just hoped. When I stand still nothing happens, and I notice it with guilt.

People died of diarrhea and now they are making bio identical estrogen gel to rub on our thighs

For the volume of work, the hours of time and the mass of output, a typo still makes my heart sink. While I am still part of the 1% constantly creating I know there is 90% of consumers judging me on that one thing, and not the rest.

Consumer trust in advertising hit 47% (up 8pp from 2025). Only 7% trust visible AI-generated ads more than human content; 31% actively trust them less. Imperfection signals trust. Flawless content triggers suspicion

We're going to go back to this, to things we can charish in private, we can hold on to and memories that are made when there is no phone in front of our face. Im ready.

I am not going to live in a world I cannot create in. We are not born to consume only, we were not built to just scroll. I'll live, whatever version of me that shows up.

Nothing great was ever built in a day but we are conditioned to think things are instant. The beauty is in the journey, in the effort, in how the effort shapes us all. I love this.

Imagine buying your mom a big, gaudy necklace, only for her to have to wear it to work numerous times. Buying dad a tie is generally accepted; no one really judges a man for wearing an ugly tie. We find it endearing. ...and dads never complain. Happy dads day!
