In the ever-evolving landscape of marketing and advertising, one thing remains constant: the power of captivating visuals. But with a rapidly growing sea of content, capturing attention and staying ahead of the curve is a constant challenge. Brands are constantly striving for better, faster, and more efficient content creation. This is where the revolutionary technology of AI enters the picture, transforming the way we approach visual marketing.
The Challenge:
The truth is, your competitors are already using AI. They are leveraging this technology to create eye-catching visuals, refine existing assets, and stretch their marketing dollars further. Consumers are engaging with content generated through AI without even realizing it, and they're responding positively.
Ford Media Lab's Solution:
At Ford Media Lab, we understand the power of AI in visual storytelling. We are not here to replace traditional photography; instead, we advocate for a strategic integration of both approaches to maximize efficiency and creative potential.
Here's how AI can enhance your content strategy:
Effortless environment manipulation: Showcase your products in diverse settings, all within one "shoot" day, through expert compositing and AI prompting. This eliminates the need for physical set production, reducing waste from materials and transportation.
Content repurposing: Breathe new life into existing product shots by placing them in exciting and relevant scenes. This reduces the need for additional photoshoots and minimizes associated waste.
Cost-effective creation: Generate realistic models, props, and locations that perfectly align with your brand identity, saving you time, resources. and the environmental impact associated with physical prop creation and transportation.
What to look for in a creative partner:
Art Direction: The ability to guide the AI process and curate a cohesive visual style.
High-End Photography: Expertise in capturing stunning product photos for versatility and future editing.
Brand Expertise: Deep understanding of your brand guidelines and the competitive landscape.
Retouching Prowess: Skill in seamlessly integrating AI elements with existing assets.

A beautiful image we captured in 2022 at the Kenwood visitor’s center. We loved the look of the bottle, but identified two potential problems for our client’s use today: it was captured vertically in a 3:4 aspect ratio and without a human element. No problem! We generated a new 4:3 horizontal scene using AI and composited in the bottle, effectively repurposing an old asset.
