The Role of Humans in Branding is Evolving Alongside AI Thanks to Tailor Brands
Professional designers are wondering whether they will lose their job because of AI-based branding platforms. While bigger corporations can afford to hire in-house designers for their branding related tasks, smaller organizations and start-ups are naturally forced to consider alternatives due to budget constraints.

AI Is a Cornerstone of Our Favorite Market Disruptors, Like Netflix
AI is everywhere, and it’s been a long time coming. Streaming giant Netflix uses Artificial Intelligence algorithms to encode and compress their videos to improve their video quality on smartphones. Online advertising platforms are using AI algorithms to analyze user activity and display ads which are relevant and interesting to them. There are several AI-based products which have automated the web designing process and made it easier for brands to create stunning websites at more affordable rates.
In fact, you may be surprised to learn that the majority of online customer service and technical support reps are just computers. Instead of a keyboard and mouse, they’re powered by server stacks that house advanced algorithms.
For fun, Facebook let these algorithms loose. Without guidance, they formed their own language and began to advance beyond what the programmers could realistically monitor and control. So, they literally pulled the plug.
But don’t worry, the rise of the Terminator isn’t around the corner. As long as we provide specific instruction, and give the algorithms the opportunity to evolve in a controlled space, they can do amazing good for the human race.

Machine learning, deep learning and other AI technologies have the potential to further disrupt the branding industry by helping to automate various tasks, including logo design, web design, online advertising, SEO and even social media marketing.
Remember Watson? A digital agency named AKQA is using an internal IBM’s latest tech to browse through online platforms and discover potential customers. Watson can identify which topics correlate with specific products. This will kill the hated telemarketing industry by helping brands find new audiences. Similarly, several digital marketing companies are using AI-powered platforms to design creative ads based on the behaviour analysis of their target customers.
From discovery to engagement, AI is coming to a customer experience near you.
The reason I focused in the branding industry with this piece is that it boasts an annual revenue of more than $10 billion and is getting bigger everyday. But, for some reason, it seems to be overshadowed by marketing tech and business tech buzz. It’s exciting to see an industry traditionally powered by human creativity begin to shift towards a more automated, and increasingly exciting partnership between man and machine.
With AI coming into action, companies can get more branding done for less money and increase their ROI. Dependency on human designers for logo and graphic design is being gradually reduced as sophisticated AI-based products become more accessible in the graphic design, web design and digital marketing space.
