Ad Legends: How We're Reimagining Advertising with AI | Imagine AI Live 25 | E146

E146 • Aug 11, 2025 • 39 mins

The Ad Legends app - co-founded by industry veterans Dave Metcalf. Steve Metcalf, Vince Cook and Cheryl Berman - is an AI-driven tool that mimics the creative process of a full-service ad agency, but in minutes rather than months. It was born from a conversation about the advertising industry’s slow adoption of AI, and the idea of building an app that could act like an agency. The platform is designed to be a collaborative partner, not a replacement for human creativity. It incorporates the "digital DNA" of legendary creatives like Lee Klau, Jimmy Smith, and Dave Metcalf, offering users access to their unique styles and ways of thinking. The founders distinguish their app from general-purpose AI like ChatGPT, which they say can produce "BAI advertising" (Bad AI advertising) by generating a lot of variations without a central "big idea".

Key Points

  • AI can significantly democratize access to top-tier advertising by allowing small businesses to leverage the creative genius of industry legends at a fraction of the cost.
  • By integrating AI with the creative processes of renowned advertising professionals, Ad Legends offers personalized, high-quality advertising campaigns that maintain the human touch and emotional resonance essential for brand success.
  • Ad Legends not only provides a comprehensive suite of advertising tools but also facilitates real-time collaboration with ad legends, ensuring that creative ideas are refined and executed to the highest standards.
