From prompt to action: agentic AI for media strategy

How can marketers use agentic AI to automate their media decisions and radically accelerate collaboration with partners?

Master Class English

Introduction

In today’s data-rich advertising landscape, AI is shifting from a passive co-pilot to an active agent: a system that not only advises, but also independently executes tasks, prepares decisions, and initiates workflows. This hands-on Master Class shows marketers how to leverage agentic AI to largely automate audience analysis, budget planning, and partner briefing. Without requiring a technical background.

By the end of the session, you’ll know how to use AI agents as full-fledged team members (turning raw signals into personas, analyses, briefings, and optimization proposals) while staying in strategic control and applying them directly to your strategy, budgets and partner collaboration.

Key topics covered:

  • Insights & personas: use AI agents to continuously monitor, cluster, and translate audience signals into dynamic, evidence-based persona, including automatically generated budget allocation based on predictive scoring.
  • Strategy & local adaptation: let agents automatically adapt your creative narrative and campaign mood boards to regional nuances and cultural triggers, based on local data and sentiment analysis.
  • Execution & reporting: automate the full campaign evaluation cycle: from collecting and analysing results to generating clear briefings and concrete optimization recommendations for your media and creative partners.

What will you learn?

  • Understand what distinguishes agentic AI from traditional AI tools, and when to deploy agents versus performing tasks manually.
  • Set up agentic workflows that independently collect, analyse, and translate audience signals into strategic recommendations.
  • Make data-driven media planning decisions through automated scenario planning and budget optimization models.
  • Automatically convert campaign reports into clear, action-oriented briefings for your external partners.
  • Lead your media and creative partners more effectively, supported by AI-generated insights and well-founded recommendations.

For whom?

This Master Class is ideal for brand marketers and advertisers who want to strengthen their control over media planning and campaign evaluation and are ready to take the next step: from AI as a tool to AI as an active executor within their workflow.

The focus is on managing external partners more efficiently and intelligently, without requiring any technical background. A basic understanding of marketing campaigns or media planning is recommended.
