Your Majesty — 10 things
November 3rd · Issue #293

Hey ,

Yesterday at MET AMS our Managing Director Georgios Athanassiadis, together with Web3/CGI panelists Amé Raaphorst and Raúl Cerezo, shared their insights for brands during a panel session on “Navigating CGI & Digital Culture”.

Takeaways included:

  • Start with your brand’s vision, then consider which technology fits 
  • Stay true to your authentic brand, don’t just copy/paste what others are doing for the sake of a trend 
  • AI is great for unique concepts, however, human input is essential for digital content curation and craftsmanship
  • Empower your teams by giving those who are interested in emerging tech the time, tools and budget to work things out
  • Create content efficiencies, where relevant, use AI tools to balance content quantity with quality 
  • Seek external advice, as the quantity of tech developments is overwhelming, experts can help you distil what’s relevant to you 


We’d love to hear what trends you’re seeing in this space!

Until next time, 
⚔️ Your Majesty
