Why creativity + marketing + AI is the new CMO imperative.

In today’s attention-starved, content-saturated world, relevance alone won’t win. Customers are bombarded with messages across every channel, and brands have only seconds to make a meaningful connection. Even the most advanced personalization strategies fall flat if they don’t spark emotion, inspire action, and build trust. This discussion explores how integrating creativity + marketing + AI empowers CMOs to build experiences that spark loyalty, drive growth, and make brands unforgettable.

Thank You from Your Future Self

Reinventing healthcare communication - from education to participation - through data, cultural truth, and creative craft to drive behavior change at scale. In Vietnam, cervical cancer claims thousands of lives each year. Thank You from Your Future Self campaign for the HPV prevention awareness, created by MSD and MullenLowe Mishra, broke through the inertia  — turning awareness into action, stigma into solidarity — and dared to imagine a Vietnam free of HPV disease burden. In an industry busy selling excitement, convenience, and pleasure, this campaign sold something rarer — hope. It shattered taboos, drove over one million people take appropriate action. Proof that when science joins hands with creativity, it can heal as powerfully as it can sell.
