Using generative AI to reduce complexity (a.k.a. 'Campaign in a box')

At Crescendo, we thrive at the intersection of innovation and efficiency. Recently, our co-founders, Bernard Gomez and Tom Duffey, gave a talk about how we are simplifying the complexity of digital marketing using generative AI, aptly titled "Using Generative A.I. to Reduce Complexity (a.k.a. 'Campaign in a box')," the talk explored how we're transforming the way brands approach multi-channel campaigns at scale.

The challenge of complexity in digital campaigns

Managing over 700 websites using Magnolia, our team knows what it takes to deliver impactful content at scale. But here's the reality of modern digital marketing: what once felt manageable has become unthinkably complex. Building a single landing page now involves many layers of logistics, from writing and design to dynamic functionality. Add multiple campaigns, audiences, and distribution channels, and the complexity multiplies exponentially.

Additionally, managing multiple agencies to create content only compounds the issue. There are inefficiencies, delays, and countless opportunities for errors. For brands trying to maintain an edge in an increasingly competitive environment, this complexity is a bottleneck that no one can afford.

We saw an opportunity to innovate. Simplifying the process wasn’t just a problem to solve; it was an imperative to remain ahead of the curve. Enter generative AI.

Integrating generative AI into the Magnolia workflow

To address these challenges, Crescendo developed a groundbreaking approach by integrating generative AI into our Magnolia workflow, creating what we affectionately call "Campaign in a Box." This integration enables us to streamline every part of the content creation process while maintaining the quality our clients expect.

Here’s how it works:

1. 

   Content and imagery

   Say goodbye to the days of manually crafting unique emails or coming up with custom visuals for every audience. Generative AI allows us to produce branded, professional content in seconds. From beautifully designed email campaigns to visually engaging landing pages, tasks that used to take endless hours are now completed in a click.
   

   

   
   

2. SEO operations

   Remember when SEO optimization seemed like an arcane art? Integrating AI into the Magnolia workflow means SEO-friendly content is automatically generated without the need for extra tools. Simply enter a prompt—for example, “Create a spring campaign for our antihistamine brand”—and watch as the system generates emails, social posts, website banners, and more, fully optimized for search engine rankings.

   
   

   

   
   

3. Custom campaigns, faster than ever

   Time-sensitive campaigns are no longer met with stress. With generative AI, anyone on your team can create campaigns on demand. You’ll be 80% of the way to a polished campaign in moments, giving teams more freedom to iterate, refine, and focus on what matters most.

The result? What used to require specialized knowledge, multiple tools, and significant time is now accessible, consistent, and ready to deploy in seconds.

The triumph of simplicity (with a dash of human oversight)

While generative AI is a powerful engine that drives efficiencies, it doesn’t replace human creativity and judgment. The best results come from a partnership between technology and skilled professionals. Our process enables your team to review, refine, and enhance AI-generated content, ensuring the final outputs meet your brand’s unique voice and quality standards.

For example, AI can generate a full campaign—including email sequences, landing pages, and social media posts—in mere seconds. But it’s our human touch that ensures sensitivity for different audiences, accounts for nuances in tone, and tailors the content for maximum impact.

The goal isn’t perfection but progress that allows your team to do more in less time, with the assurance of quality at scale.

The benefits speak for themselves

The integration of generative AI has completely redefined what’s possible for our clients. Here’s what you can expect with our “campaign in a box” approach:

• Time savings

  Tasks that once took days or weeks now take minutes. You can build robust campaigns on demand and refocus your team’s time on strategy and execution.
