Problem

A large ad agency wanted to implement AI across varied business functions but some of their key challenges included capturing the diverse AI use cases, quantifying potential impact with limited benchmarks, prioritizing opportunities, building C-suite confidence, and developing detailed implementation roadmaps.

Action

The work began by reviewing internal P&Ls and task data, referencing industry research to model impact, and piloting a high-value AI use case to demonstrate quick wins. Using an ROI framework, use cases were systematically prioritized and aligned closely with leadership on AI’s evolving potential.

Results

After delivering an AI roadmap that balanced immediate wins with long-term AI initiatives for sustainable growth and building executive confidence through rapid prototyping, the client: 

 

  • Projected $20MM in annual savings and revenue within 12 months
  • Prioritized the implementation of the 15+ impactful use cases identified
