Almost 90% of CMOs Believe Creativity Drives Growth: Dentsu Creative
Creativity is the ultimate driver of business growth, say 89% of CMOs in this Dentsu Creative survey. But their focus is on technology: 65% say tech that enhances the brand idea is important, compared with just 51% citing a powerful organizing idea. Similarly, 65% are investing in data analytics to inform creative, more than using AI, social listening, or Gen-Z research. Skepticism about AI has fallen sharply: just 49% now think AI won’t be able to create ads that move people, compared with 67% in last year’s survey.
