Tune Up Your Video

 

Meta recently released AudioCraft, an open-source set of generative AI tools that create music and sound effects from text:

  • AudioGen produces general sound effects. 

  • MusicGen can create melodies and compositions and is trained on Meta-owned and licensed music. 

  • EnCodec generates higher-quality audio.

AudioCraft presents an opportunity for brands to jazz up their video content at a time when more than half of marketers crown it the most valuable medium. And it provides a workaround for copyright issues to boot. Sound is crucial in striking a chord with your audience, and music can be instrumental in building brand identity. When crafting video content, consider how to utilize this new tool to pump up the audio component. 

 

TL;DR: Meta’s AudioCraft offers a suite of text-to-audio AI tools that create music and sound effects. Assess how new sounds can tune up your video content.

AI: The Experiment That Never Ends

 

AI isn’t biology, but it could still benefit from a little lab testing. Google Labs is offering trend-hunters the opportunity to experiment with upcoming tools before they’re publicly available. To get early access to these three new features, join each new tool’s waitlist: 

  • Duet AI: Available exclusively for workspace accounts, this feature allows users to input a prompt in an email or document to generate text. Duet AI also lends its magic to visuals by generating custom images. Instacart and Lyft are two notable brands using the tool for emails, campaign ideas, and more.

  • NotebookLM (FKA Project Tailwind): Known as an AI-first notebook, this tool is available for both workspace and personal accounts and enables users to upload Google Docs to receive a summary with key points.

  • SGE (Search Generative Experience): The most recently updated beaker on the block, this tool provides AI-powered results — including images and videos — to answer questions users Google. SGE is not available for workspace accounts.

Keep in mind experiments can only be conducted on the Google Chrome web browser or through the Google app. Remember the tools are still in the trial phase, so be prepared for some bumps along the way. But testing hypotheses in the lab gives marketers the opportunity to get one step ahead on the ever-flowing stream of AI tools.

 

TL;DR: Google Labs is offering the opportunity to experiment with its AI tools before they’re publicly released.

WHAT LIT US UP

Dove.WLUU

A Perfect Meltaway

 

In celebration of its upgraded, sleek packaging, and in honor of International Self-care Day on July 24, Dove Ice Cream partnered with female-led, eco-friendly Mien Studios to unveil a series of limited-edition silky smooth loungewear sets for loyal fans.

 

The sets are a creative nod to the luxurious experience of Dove Ice Cream and its luxe new packaging. Available in flavor-themed colors vanilla blue, raspberry sorbet, and, you guessed it, dark chocolate, sets are priced at $25 and ship in about two weeks. To satisfy your sweet tooth and enrich the self-care experience, each order also comes with a box of ice cream bars.

 

After the garments’ release, the ice cream brand posted reels on its Instagram account showing how the silk outfits can be worn to wind down or to go out. While we’re not privy to specific performance stats, the comments reveal the sets quickly sold out, indicating the campaign was a sweet success. 

 

Chocolate and clothing aren’t typically sold together, but what says self-care more than enjoying ice cream in your pajamas? The creative pairing allows fans to experience indulgence and engages multiple senses. The two brands also both share a commitment to sustainability and uplifting women, and this innovative campaign targeted those causes. 

 

Your brand may not be covered in chocolate, but explore ways it can break out of its shell and forge unlikely alliances to create seductively smooth marketing strategies. 

 

TL;DR: In a collaboration with clothing brand Mien Studios, Dove celebrates its new luxurious packaging by gifting its audience the opportunity to reflect its new look.
