Autodesk's 'World Is Yours' Campaign Focuses on Human Creativity

Executive Signal Summary

Autodesk launched its new campaign, 'The World Is Yours for the Making,' created by agency Giant Spoon, to counter AI anxiety and emphasize human creativity. The campaign features a spot directed by Salomon Ligthelm, opening with a newborn and highlighting real Autodesk customers. CMO Dara Treseder explains the strategy is to position technology as a tool for people, responding to data that 39% of Americans view AI negatively. The ad debuted during the NFL Kickoff Game and will run on linear TV, CTV, and social channels. Autodesk plans to extend the campaign over the next 12 months with emotional, human-focused stories.
