Creative Circle Unveils 2024 Client Pulse Report: Navigating AI in the Creative and Marketing Industry

Report demonstrates AI’s already significant usage, compounded with broad opportunity for increased adoption

Creative Circle, a leading marketing and creative services firm and ASGN (NYSE: ASGN) brand, today released its 2024 Client Pulse Report, offering a comprehensive analysis of artificial intelligence's impact on creative and marketing teams. This year’s report illuminates how AI has rapidly become embedded in daily workflows, but leaders still seek support in deploying the groundbreaking technology to its full potential.

To develop the report, Creative Circle collected survey responses from 463 creative and marketing leaders. The survey was conducted in March 2024 and received a near-record response rate, demonstrating business leaders’ continued investment in the subject more than a year after AI entered the mainstream.

Resounding consensuses emerged around several of the topics addressed in the survey:

• AI is now a staple in creative and marketing teams, with 82% using it to some extent and 45% using it daily or weekly.
• Leaders would like to further implement AI into their work, but 89% face barriers to increased adoption.
• The necessity of AI today is undisputed, as 83% of leaders say they need to develop new AI skills and competencies in order to achieve their goals.
• Businesses are eager to close their AI gaps, with 66% of respondents seeking AI-specific training, hires, or consultants to upskill their teams.

“This study makes clear that marketing and creative leaders recognize AI’s extraordinary potential. But for the most part, they’re only scratching the surface,” says Creative Circle President Matt Riley. “Teams need direction, training, and subject matter expertise in order to fully integrate AI technology and realize its many benefits.”

Creative Circle’s insights and solutions offer an ideal set of skills and knowledge that marketing and creative teams need to realize the benefit of today’s AI technologies.

Katherine Forbes, Creative Circle’s Senior Vice President of Marketing, states, “We are actively partnering with our clients to bring out the full potential of AI within their marketing and creative teams.
