Brands like Coke, Heinz Ketchup, and Keebler are the first world-class brands to use AI in customer engagement campaigns. From using generative art based on customers picking styles to adding text to image prompts to uploading photos of themselves and being transformed into the brand’s image, the advertising world has changed, and the creative landscape of possibilities has radically evolved.
AI has super-charged the idea of using AR filters and camera effects to connect a user to a brand’s story. When properly leveraged and control mechanisms in place, a brand can tap into the power of AI to create unique new programs.
Generative Art and AI power merge technology and creativity, offering unprecedented opportunities when harnessed with advertising, sports fan engagement, pop culture promotions, or customer activations.

Check out the Keebler sELFie Studio experience that leveraged our Personalization Engine™ Platform.
The Keebler sELFie Studio represents a unique blend of fun and technology, leveraging advanced AI and Machine Learning algorithms to transform customers into delightful Keebler elves. Users access the experience through a QR code printed on the Fudge Stripe Cookies packaging, leading them to the enchanting Open for Magic campaign website.
Our approach involved a detailed study of Ernie’s distinct elf characteristics, which we then leveraged our AI Personalization Engine™ using AI Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) model types. This enabled us to effectively apply Ernie’s elfin style to the users’ selfies, resulting in personalized yet recognizable elf avatars, including pointed ears, chubby cheeks, elf headwear, and outfits.
Why is Custom Generation Art Great for a Campaign?
1. Personalized and Dynamic Content Experience
Our Personalization Engine™ uses algorithms to produce original artwork for your campaign or activation. When AI is added to the mix, these artworks can be tailored to individual preferences. Imagine a sports advertisement that changes color, form, or content based on a user’s favorite team or player persona. Such hyper-personalized content can resonate more deeply with the audience.
2. Scalability
Traditionally, creating unique artwork or advertisements for different segments of an audience would be time-consuming. However, with AI-driven generative art, thousands of unique designs can be produced in a fraction of the time, allowing customization without incurring prohibitive costs.
3. Increased Engagement
Generative artwork can act as a powerful tool for customer activations. By inviting users to shape or influence a piece of art, brands can ensure active participation, fostering a deeper connection between the consumer and the brand.
4. Novelty and Innovation
The ever-evolving nature of generative art ensures that content remains fresh and novel. This is especially significant in a digital age where advertisements bomb audiences. The uniqueness of generative designs, especially those shaped by AI, can help brands stand out.
5. Cost-Effectiveness
Though there might be initial investments in designing AI-driven generative art platforms, brands can save on design costs in the long run. Leveraging our Personalization Engine™ to generate a wide range of content becomes less labor-intensive.
6. Storytelling Opportunities
Generative art can be a potent medium for storytelling. Brands can leverage their audience’s desire to tell their story through their social channels – based on user interactions or real-time events, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.
7. Community Building
Platforms that allow fans or customers to contribute fosters a sense of community. It’s a collective art project where everyone has a stake, encouraging collaboration and strengthening ties between individuals and the brand.
8. Pressworthy Innovation
Brands always look for ways to break through the noise, generate excitement, and press. Media outlets are always looking for brands that are doing something different and innovating. Creating a campaign that leverages our Personalization Engine™ will supercharge your campaign and show that you are innovating.
The fusion of generative art and AI is more than just a tech trend; it’s a transformative force in advertising, marketing, and engagement.
