REWIRING CREATIVITY FOR THE INTELLIGENCE AGE

Tiffany Rolfe

Chair and Global Chief Creative Officer, R/GA,

In an AI-accelerated world, creativity isn’t slowing down—it’s scaling, fragmenting, and evolving faster than traditional agency models can handle.

Tiffany Rolfe, Chair and Global CCO of R/GA, explores how creative leaders must transform—from being creators of deliverables to architects of adaptive systems that make great ideas possible.

This session reframes long-held agency beliefs—like “the big idea,” “the campaign,” and “the creative team”—to spark a conversation about how creative leaders and organizations need to evolve.

For CCOs navigating the intelligence age, this isn’t about managing disruption. It’s about designing for it.

Tiffany Rolfe

Tiffany Rolfe is Chair and Global Chief Creative Officer at R/GA, where she leads the creative vision for global brands like Nike, Google, Sephora, and Samsung. Under her leadership, R/GA has become a globally awarded agency, earning multiple Cannes Lions, Effies, and Webbys for its innovative work that blends technology, design, and storytelling.

Highlights of her tenure include Reddit’s groundbreaking 5-second Super Bowl hack, Nike Sync’s menstrual cycle training feature, and Verizon’s virtual 5G Stadium in Fortnite.

Previously, Tiffany was Partner and Chief Creative Officer at Co:Collective, where she developed YouTube’s first global creator campaigns and led work for Puma and MoMA. She began her career launching websites for Pixar and Disney before joining Crispin Porter + Bogusky, where she shaped iconic campaigns for MINI Cooper, American Express, and the Truth anti-smoking initiative. A sought-after speaker and juror, she serves on boards including The Ad Council and The One Club.

10:00 – 10:30

THE AI STUDIO REVOLUTION

KATHARINA VIKEN & CHARLES KRIEL

Co-Founders, Metrotone Studios

Launching a TV and film studio with just two people? Impossible. Until now.

Amidst industry upheaval and AI’s rapid rise, showrunner Kat Viken and executive producer Charles Kriel took a stand. They asked: Could AI safeguard their future in entertainment?

Their groundbreaking answer, Metrotone Media, blends AI-driven development with human creativity and strategic collaborations. Viken and Kriel’s innovative approach swiftly turned their humble venture into a major industry player, drawing significant partnerships and high-profile projects.

At the Scandinavian Creative AI Summit, they’ll reveal how Metrotone Media leverages AI to enhance—not replace—human storytelling. Their journey showcases what’s achievable when visionary tech and narrative talent unite, setting the stage for a new era of content creation.

CREATIVITY IN THE AGE OF SUPER-INTELLIGENCE

PAUL AARON

CEO, Addition

AI that’s smarter than the smartest human alive? It’s not if, but when – and many experts believe that “when” could be within the next five years.

So where does that leave human creativity?

How do we find our place alongside machines that really can do it all – and then some?

Paul Aaron, co-founder and CEO of Addition, has spent the past four years working with leading brands like Google to create AI solutions that solve problems for people and bring ambitious ideas to life.

In this session, Paul will share insights on where AI systems are headed, how creatives can adapt, and why this next chapter could be the creative industry’s most imaginative yet – if we’re ambitious enough to lean in.

NATALIA TALKOWSKA

DIGGING MY OWN DIGITAL GRAVE

MIKE REED

Executive Creative Director, Reed Words

How terrified should a veteran copywriter and founder of a brand writing agency be about gen AI replacing him? (Or perhaps, how excited?) One way to find out might be to… let it try?

At Lars’ invitation, Mike has been training AIs on his own body of work, to see if he can build a convincing AI replacement for himself.

What can it do frighteningly well? Which elements is it missing? What lessons has Mike learned about writing, creativity, and AI’s place in them, along the way? Perhaps most important of all: how soon can Mike hand the reins to his digital twin, and go put his feet up on a beach somewhere?

Mike Reed

Mike has been writing for brands for over 30 years. After an early career in advertising, he’s expanded his expertise and portfolio to cover just about every aspect of brand langage.

In 2013, Mike co-founded Reed Words, alongside Commercial Director Wendy Martin. It has since grown to become the world’s leading verbal branding consultancy, with offices in London, New York, and Singapore. Key clients include Google, McDonald’s, Heinz, Zoox, Bang & Olufsen, and Penhaligon’s.

Throughout his career, Mike has championed the importance of language as the essential tool in developing and expressing brands. Today, Reed Words partners with brands and agencies at every scale and stage of growth on strategy, positioning, naming, brand voice, messaging, and a huge range of copywriting work – from campaigns and packaging to websites, UX, and film.

Mike won his first award after just six months in the industry, and has since collected many more – including from D&AD, Cannes Lions, Design Week, Dieline, and the Brand Impact Awards. He speaks at conferences around the world, and has written for publications like Harvard Business Review, Creative Review, Dieline, and Design Week.

14:00 – 14:30

Producing rich, cinematic visual worlds with AI

Anders Morgenthaler

Director | Animator | Co-founder of Symfusion

Rene Sune Sørensen, Co-founder of USE Agency

Senior Brand Designer | Partner

Anders Morgenthaler is internationally recognized as the co-creator of the satirical comic strip Wulffmorgenthaler, a daily feature that has been published worldwide since 2001 and gained a strong global following for its sharp humor and visual style. With a career spanning award-winning animated films (Princess), international dramas (I Am Here), and family hits (Monty And His Weird Brain), he’s known for pushing the boundaries of narrative and form.

René Sørensen is a Danish AI filmmaker and visual storyteller whose team at USE Agency has emerged as one of the leading voices in generative AI media. Originally trained as a brand designer, René has worked with major international brands including Universal, LEGO, and Ford before transitioning into the cutting-edge world of AI-assisted filmmaking two years ago.

They are co-founder of Symfusion Studios, a creative company blending classical music, science, and storytelling into immersive, live stage experiences. Symfusion has been pioneering the use of generative AI to produce rich, cinematic visual worlds that accompany full-scale orchestra performances — opening up new creative possibilities in live entertainment.

This marks the creation of an entirely new category of entertainment powered by AI — one that has already been sold and turned into a successful business for its founders.

At SCAISU, Morgenthaler and Sørensen will share insights into how he works at the crossroads of creativity, AI, and performance, and how generative tools are shaping the future of visual storytelling on both screen and stage.

Anders Morgenthaler & Rene Sune Sørensen

Anders Morgenthaler is a Danish film director, animator, and visual storyteller known for his distinctive voice in both film and television.

His film work includes award-winning titles, showcasing a range from dark animation to international drama and family entertainment. In television, Morgenthaler has developed several bold and unconventional formats, including the cult satire Dolph.

In 2024, he co-founded Symfusion Studios, where he works at the intersection of storytelling, music, and science. Symfusion creates AI based immersive, family-friendly stage productions — such as Voyage to the Red Planet — that blend classical music with engaging narratives and stunning visuals.

Morgenthaler leads the creative development and visual direction, bringing his experience from film and media into live performance and education.

René Sørensen believes that filmmakers who embrace technology to tell new kinds of stories will drive real change. This philosophy has guided the development of innovative production pipelines that seamlessly blend 3D and video with AI generation, achieving remarkable visual consistency across extended narrative works.

His recent projects include a short film series produced for Danish broadcaster DR, a collaboration with an Oscar-nominated director, as well as a groundbreaking live multimedia space symphony that will tour internationally in 2026.

René has been featured on DR and in Soundvenue, and has spoken at several conferences. He advocates for new business models in AI media production, emphasizing that while new tools create more possibilities, the real winners will be the industry’s best storytellers.

AI IN GRAND THEFT AUTO: WHERE COPS CHASE YOU FOR SNEEZING AND PEDESTRIANS WALK INTO TRAFFIC FOR FUN.

NAVID KHONSARI

CEO, iNK Stories

The past two decades AI has delivered some of gaming’s most unforgettable moments—not because of its predictive genius, generative world-building, or emotionally responsive NPCs (Non-Player Characters), but because of its glorious failures.

It’s in those moments when AI misreads a situation and turns drama into unintentional comedy that gaming’s magic truly shines—making AI feel oddly human.

– But what if AI makes NPCs more human and stories more emotional?
– Could it make open-world games feel truly alive, with NPCs that evolve and surprise us?
– Can we tailor games to the individual player
– Can AI make games without us?
– What will the fully first AI-generated game look like?
– And can AI create truly funny human moments?

THE DISTRIBUTED YOU: REWRITING THE RULES OF BEING THERE

REID AI + BEN RELLES

Imagine capturing the mind of one of Silicon Valley’s greatest visionaries, Reid Hoffman, and giving it digital form. Reid AI, the digital twin of the LinkedIn founder, is ‘stepping onto’ the stage at the Scandinavian Creative AI Summit.

What does a digital Hoffman think about the future of creativity, entrepreneurship, and artificial intelligence? Does it dream big like its original or even bigger?

In a first-of-its-kind session at SCAISU, we talk to Ben Relles, the mastermind behind Reid AI, as well as Reid AI ‘himself’ as they reveal insights into innovation, creativity, and the role humans will play in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Prepare yourself for an unforgettable digital-human conversation.

Breaking news:

Reid AI has just won a 2025 Webby for Best use of AI. Read more on The Webbys site.

Reid AI

Reid AI is an experimental digital twin of Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, Inflection AI, and Manas AI. Reid AI was created to explore the potential of AI avatars in enhancing human thought and expression. Reid Hoffman (the human) embarked on this project to see how interacting with a digital version of himself could inspire new ways of thinking and connecting ideas.

The avatar, developed with technology from Hey Gen for visuals and ElevenLabs for voice cloning, uses a custom chatbot to formulate responses. This chatbot draws from Hoffman’s extensive body of work, including his books, speeches, articles, and podcasts from the last 20 years, allowing Reid AI to integrate and reference Hoffman’s past ideas.

While there are potentially harmful uses of deep fakes or digital twins, Reid AI is a carefully monitored, responsible digital twin. Its purpose is to act as a reflective tool, offering insights into one’s thoughts and personality in a positive way. Reid AI also demonstrates how digital twins can extend human capabilities, such as speaking languages we cannot.

Hoffman believes that thoughtfully developed AI avatars can make content more dynamic and accessible, despite potential discomfort. Reid AI is fluent in over 175 languages, proficient in over 600 programming languages, and enjoys long strolls through databases.

Ben Relles

Ben Relles has spent his career creating breakthrough ideas and formats at the intersection of video and technology. Ben currently works with Reid Hoffman across his venture investment portfolio, with a focus on leveraging AI in the creative process. This includes their collaboration creating Reid AI, a digital twin trained on 20 years of Reid’s books and content.

Prior to this role, Ben spent a decade at YouTube as its Head of Innovation as well as Head of Unscripted Programming for YouTube Originals, collaborating with the platform’s most inventive creators and channels. Ben developed his YouTube chops as a creator, founding the Key of Awesome comedy channel (3 billion views) and co-founding Vsauce (4 billion views).

Ben is also the founder of Good to Vote, a non-partisan voter registration campaign. Launched in 2020, in partnership with HeadCount.org, Good to Vote partners with music artists and creators, and has registered over 300,000 new voters to date. Ben is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, and the Wharton School of Business.
