AI Creativity Chronicles​
Making Marketing Fun Again,
One Week at a Time

Creative Curiosity, Meet Professional Validation

Last week, I shared how an AI-generated avatar named Abigail helped me refine messaging, explore personas, and rethink video content.

This week?
That experiment is now being featured on the National Institute for Social Media (NISM) blog — a hub for certified social media strategists.

🎯 Same creative journey, but with a deeper, more professional lens:

  • How AI tools like ChatGPT, ElevenLabs & HeyGen can amplify strategy
  • Why AI avatars aren’t gimmicks, but useful message-testing tools
  • What social pros can gain from experimenting intentionally

👉 Read the full NISM feature here:​

🧪 This isn’t just about one avatar.
It’s about how fast AI is reshaping content workflows — and why curiosity-driven marketers are thriving.

Stay creative. Stay curious. Stay human.
