(Excerpt from article below) In advertising and marketing, content isn’t created to hang in a museum or win a Pulitzer. It’s created to achieve specific goals: attract attention, sell products, or raise awareness. This distinction between “required” content and “inspired” content is where much of the confusion begins.

  • Required content (aka production or commercial content) is functional, created under tight deadlines/budgets to accomplish a clear objective.
  • Inspired content (aka art), on the other hand, stems from the human need to express emotion; it is mostly unconstrained by time or utility.
  • Comparing these two types of creativity is like comparing a business letter to a love poem: both involve language, but their purposes, and expectations, are worlds apart.

Production content is not about originality or depth; it’s about efficiency, consistency, and scalability. In this context, AI fits seamlessly into the content factory model, offering significantly faster turnaround times and lower costs than traditional workflows.
