#MarketersBreakfast | Leveraging AI To Fuel Human Creativity
Our quarterly #MarketersBreakfast events provide a forum for marketing leaders to connect, learn, and inspire each other.
At Setup, we are actively connecting marketing leaders with the best people and resources to amplify their efforts and challenge their thinking.
In 2025, over 80% of marketers are leveraging AI to become more efficient. But with this rise comes a wave of questions: How do we maintain creativity in a machine-driven world? What role does human intuition play when algorithms take center stage? And how can AI be used not just to automate, but to spark innovation?
This breakfast will explore these questions and more with our guest speaker, Aby Varma, a trailblazing creative strategist and AI practitioner. Aby will share practical insights and bold provocations on how marketers can harness AI—not to replace human creativity, but to elevate it.
Join us for great coffee, better conversations, and the kind of ideas that will fuel your next big breakthrough. Space is limited, so RSVP now to secure your seat.
