Truth Collective

Truth Collective Hi. We're Truth Collective. We help brands be ever braver through our two specializations: brand identity and brand activation. Being an AOR. Yawn.

Exaggerating numbers to make a book of lists. Filling out timesheets. That’s not what creates remarkable, productive opportunities for brands. So we strip away anything that doesn’t make the work or the relationship extraordinary. We choose a model focused on headspace and productivity instead of headcount and capacity. And we develop strategy, ideas, and content that drive real results—because be

ing different only matters if it makes a difference. Truth Collective is a Proud Member of the American Association of Advertising Agencies, Rochester Advertising federation, and The American Marketing Association.

AI raised the price of bad judgment.

The teams pulling ahead spent less time chasing the latest model and more effort rethinking how the work gets done.

Bob and John will revisit their keynote session from AMA’s "Unlocking the Power of AI" conference to reveal what that shift looks like in practice.

Thursday, Sept 24 @ 1PM EST

The best measure of any training is what people take with them after it's over.

Generic AI gives you a blank page. AMP gives you a head start.

Inside AMP: a prompt library built for your team, brand knowledge baked in from day one, and office hours with the Truth creative team (never just a tech handoff).

This isn't a tool you're handed and left alone with. It's a partner that already knows your brand.

Prompt on. 🤘

Our first two Applied AI Learning Labs for marketers sold out quickly. So we’re doing it again!

Registration is now open for IHAF Applied AI Learning Lab.

Most marketing teams don't have an AI problem. They have an adoption problem.

The tools are everywhere. What's missing is a practical way to use them consistently, confidently, and strategically across your team.

That's what the Applied AI Learning Lab is built to solve.

In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to integrate AI into your marketing workflow with clear processes, shared standards, and practical applications you can put to work immediately.

You'll also earn your IHAF Certification in Applied AI for Marketing Teams.

If you've been waiting for the right time to move beyond experimenting with AI, this is it.

Here's the paradox of AI:
As technology gets better, humanity matters more than ever.

When everyone has access to similar tools, differentiation is harder to come by.

Taste, strategy, context and bravery matter more.

The future doesn't belong to the organizations that automate everything.

It belongs to the organizations that get crystal clear about what only humans should do.

A few thoughts from the front lines of AI adoption in today's video.

One of our favorite moments from our AI certification cohort had nothing to do with AI.

It happened when someone described a challenge they were facing and another participant immediately said:

"We had a similar challenge six months ago."

The conversation that followed was worth more than any slide we presented.

Technology matters.

But shared learning matters too.

A few thoughts on the two most overlooked helpers in AI adoption
