We both heard the call early on…

We’ve spent years informally guiding our friends, colleagues and clients on using AI tools to supercharge Creativity. In 2022, with Plain: we turned this mission into a formal offering.

We’re absolutely passionate about the power of creativity and the brilliance of the creative industries – but a transformation is happening, and we all need to evolve. Brand, leadership and agency teams must quickly embrace the incredible opportunities that AI now presents.

Plain: is created in our voice, for those that want to upskill – without the techno-babble and coding chatter.

We are AdLand people curious about AI, not coders who learnt about creativity.
We offer both off-the-shelf and custom training based on your team needs

AI may not replace all agency and team jobs,
but teams using AI will outperform those who do not.
