Show Notes

AI keeps getting better at producing creative content, faster and at higher volume than ever before. For some leaders, that raises a difficult question: what does a creative team actually contribute beyond execution? Meredith Bailey, Founder and CEO of StreamWork, has a front-row seat to this shift. She works with in-house creative and marketing teams every day, and her answer to that question is clear: the human judgment that determines what should ship and what shouldn’t can’t be replicated by AI. As volume goes up, that judgment matters even more.

About the Guest

Meredith Bailey is the Founder and CEO of StreamWork, a proofing and approval platform built for in-house creative and marketing teams. Before founding StreamWork, she spent over a decade in marketing at Apple, Google, and YouTube. Across every role, she kept running into the same problem: the review and approval process was broken, and it was consuming time that should have gone to the actual creative work. She built StreamWork to fix it.
