OK Future's AI 'Pressure Cooker' Campaign for Goodwipes
Former MullenLowe U.S. CEO Frank Cartagena launched creative shop OK Future to test generative AI's potential for a small agency. Their first project, a spoof of OpenAI's Astra ad for personal hygiene brand Goodwipes, was produced in four days using AI tools like ArtCraft, Seedance, and OpenAI's Astra model, cutting projected production costs from $700,000. The campaign, 'Meet Asstra,' gained over 1.5 million views on Reddit. However, Cartagena described the pace as 'unsustainable' and a 'pressure cooker,' with team members working around the clock and even threatening to quit. Goodwipes' SVP of Marketing, Meredith Diehn, emphasized trust in Cartagena and the value of experimenting with AI.
