    How Smart Ad Managers Are Already Using AI (Without Getting Replaced)

    AI isn’t your enemy. But the strategist who knows how to use it better than you? That’s who you should be watching out for. AI is everywhere right now. From fear-mongering headlines to overhyped promises of million-dollar prompts, it’s easy to feel like you’re already behind. But here’s the truth: AI won’t replace you—unless you ignore it. In this episode of The Strategic Ad Manager’s Guide to AI and Staying in Demand, I’m breaking down exactly how smart freelancers and ad managers are already using AI as their secret weapon—without losing their value or becoming robots. Let’s dive into how to use AI without losing your edge. Topics Covered In This Episode: The three “camps” of opinions on AI – fear of replacement, overhyped promises, and total rejection.How ad managers can strategically use AI – especially in ways that enhance (not replace) their skills.AI for ad management tasks – copywriting, audience research, ad variations/testing, reporting/analytics, and client SOPs/systems.What AI should not be used for – strategic decisions (budget, funnel structure, messaging without context, creative direction without tone, sales calls, pitching value).The importance of human insight – understanding clients’ real-life context, emotions, and unique business needs.AI as a tool to increase efficiency and profitability – helping ad managers scale without hiring large teams, while still relying on their own expertise and soft skills.
