  • The company is leveraging AI to enhance efficiency and creativity across its operations, marking a significant shift in the industry.
  • Jeff Beringer, Golin’s recently appointed Chief AI Officer, shared with Business Insider that the agency is currently in the “phase of enablement,” equipping employees with AI-powered tools and exploring innovative ways to implement AI in client services.
