Columbia Business School Professor Rajeev Kohli authored an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal examining how artificial intelligence is poised to transform the advertising industry. Kohli argued that AI-driven tools will dramatically reduce the cost and time required to create, test, and optimize advertising campaigns—potentially upending traditional agency models along Madison Avenue. He emphasized that as AI automates creative and analytical tasks, competitive advantage will shift toward firms that can integrate data, technology, and strategic insight to deliver measurable value for clients. Kohli’s analysis underscores the need for advertising leaders to rethink talent, pricing, and business models in an AI-driven era.
