This week on The MCA Prodcast Pat Murphy talks with Wesley ter Haar. Wesley is the co-founder of Media.Monks, a digital-first marketing and advertising services company that connects content, data, digital media and technology services across one global team built from the bottom up. He sits on the boards of SoDA (The Digital Society) The One Club and S4Capital.
Wesley shares with us how he went from being an intern at Vodafone, to founding Media.Monks, and then merging with S4Capital. Wesley explains how they set about establishing a company culture, whilst bringing two organisations together. How do you ensure company values remain consistent across separate geographical locations
Wesley considers the revolutionary technologies in advertising production, such as Virtual Production and AI, and considers where we might go next. He considers the possibility that we may look back on VP as simply an bridge-gap between traditional production methods and AI. He also considers how the craft will improve as the ‘baseline’ for quality increases. As AI can produce a better product for less cost, agencies and advertisers will have to up their game to stand out!
For creators, Wesley argues that understanding and utilising AI is similar to the advent of computers. ‘We used to say if you're a creative, try at least to get an understanding for coding. We're not expecting you to be a great developer, but it's really meaningful to understand the machines that have to translate your craft and creativity. I think it's the next version of that.’
Despite the threats posed by AI, Wesley describes himself as an optimist. He shares his view on the societal impact that technology could have on jobs and the economy and describes Elon Musk as a ‘doomer’ for suggesting that nobody will ever need a job!
