The UK\u2019s leading creative agency VCCP, is today launching an AI creative agency called <\/span>faith<\/b>. The new agency will act as the Group\u2019s Generative AI creative shop, producing work for new and existing clients and through a pioneering partnership with two universities will also act as an explorative R&D hub.<\/span><\/p>\nThe agency launches globally and will work alongside VCCP\u2019s seven international offices, servicing VCCP\u2019s worldwide roster of clients. VCCP has created and been using generative AI tools for several years within its media, data, planning, production and UX\/UI capabilities. This move sees the network further invest in their AI capabilities to accelerate and diversify their learning and client offering<\/span><\/p>\nfaith <\/b>will be spearheaded by VCCP Partnership CEO, Michael Sugden who will also become CEO of faith. The agency will launch with a collective of 14 practitioners made up of creatives, technologists, prompt engineers, strategists, data analysts and makers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTalking about the agency\u2019s ambition Sugden <\/span>explains: \u201cWe have faith that AI, used responsibly, will be an unparallelled accelerator of human creativity and imagination. We reject the notion that AI will make human creativity obsolete. Sugden continues \u201cWe won\u2019t realise this potential however by<\/span> noodling around with MidJourney and Chat GPT. This is why we\u2019re launching a dedicated agency to advance AI\u2019s creative applications, accelerate our collective learning and share it quickly with our clients\u201d.<\/span> <\/b><\/p>\nfaith<\/b> launches with a founding client Sage, the leaders in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology.<\/span> Cath Keers, Chief Marketing Officer at Sage<\/b> explains: \u201c<\/span>As a market leading technology company, thousands of Sage customers are already benefiting from AI solutions and services, elevating the work of humans and freeing them from repetitive administration tasks. AI also provides us with powerful insights that help us deliver a more personalised and human experience for our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe are excited about the possibilities of this collaboration and what it gives us from a creative agency perspective.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nfaith<\/b> launches with two knowledge sharing R&D partnerships with universities at the forefront of innovation in the creative and technology sectors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> \r\n \r\n \t\t\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \t\t
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Staffordshire University\u2019s Digital Technologies and Arts faculty will be focused on designing the new \u201cframeworks for use\u201d within the industry. A partnership with Keele University Business School will explore the implications of AI on the operational and commercial structure of businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nVCCP Partnership Chief Strategy Officer Michael Lee will also become CSO of <\/span>faith<\/b>. He explains \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have partnerships with two of the most forward-thinking universities in the UK. Staffs <\/span>is a world leader in virtual production, and <\/span>Keele University has already worked successfully with other industries such as law and architecture to develop and understand the implications and opportunity of real world applications of AI.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nDr Colin Rigby, Director of Enterprise<\/b> at <\/span>Keele University\u2019s Business Schoo<\/b>l said: \u201cWe\u2019re very excited to be working in partnership with VCCP. At KBS we\u2019ve been exploring the potential of AI in areas as diverse as neuromarketing, net zero opportunities, customer service and work enrichment. The creative sector is an area of almost unlimited potential for successful application of these new AI capabilities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nProfessor Carlton Reeve, Associate Dean for Research and Enterprise, School of Digital, Technologies and Arts, Staffordshire University<\/b> added: \u201c<\/span>We have a unique transdisciplinary approach that brings together expertise from diverse but complementary disciplines ranging from art and design to engineering including media, games and computing. Our partnership with VCCP is an important way to explore new ideas and ways of working with AI in the creative sector. It\u2019s great for our staff to share and develop their expertise and for our students who gain invaluable real world experience.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWith the belief that AI should only ever be used for good, <\/span>faith <\/b>launches with a detailed generative AI policy based around four principles:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Be Transparent<\/b> when AI is being used<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be Authentic<\/b>, fact-check AI-generated content<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be Compliant<\/b> and break no laws<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be Ethical<\/b>, only use AI for good<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The shop is actively recruiting for further prompt engineers. For further information on faith, please visit <\/span>https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/capabilities\/ai<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p> \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n
