AI Training + Playbook

United Imaginations is a creative brand and communications agency. Over six months, we worked with the whole agency to build its AI skills and agree how to use AI to strengthen its work while keeping human creativity central.

What we did

Training helped colleagues with different levels of AI experience develop practical skills and a shared vocabulary. With this common foundation, the team could discuss where AI would add value to its creative work.

We then helped the team co-create an AI Playbook: a practical guide to shared principles, workflows and responsibilities. Together, colleagues discussed how to adapt their processes, roles and client work, and how ethics and human judgment should guide their use of AI.

What the team gained

The team gained a more consistent understanding of AI and greater clarity about when to use it. Colleagues could discuss its opportunities and limits in the same language, recognising where AI strengthens their work and where the human touch matters most.

The team now uses the Playbook to guide its shared approach. United also created an internal online workflow library, where colleagues can share useful methods, learn from each other and keep refining their practice.

We created our AI Playbook with Matias by bringing together the whole agency for a six-month-long program. We now have a systemic way of working that enables us to use AI where it adds value to our client work and avoid using it where the human touch still excels. I strongly recommend working with Matias, he’s a cutting-edge thinker and an empathic facilitator.
