Today's AI Innovator Spotlight from The AI Advantage Academy was the perfect example of AI industry innovation. I was joined by Jim Martin, founder of Vidaio, who shared how generative AI reignited his career after more than 30 years in professional video production. After closing his agency in 2021, Jim dedicated himself to learning AI video. As a result, he rebuilt his creative practice around an AI-first production model that enables him to deliver high-quality commercial video for small and medium-sized businesses at around 80 per cent of traditional costs. We discussed what hybrid AI video production looks like in practice, why expertise in storytelling and judgement still matter and how AI is opening access to professional video production for businesses that were previously priced out.

Join this AI Innovator Spotlight to hear the real story behind VidAio and its founder Jim Martin. After more than 30 years in professional video production, Jim closed his agency in 2021 and assumed AI would eventually push him out of the industry. Instead, he chose to learn it. Over the last three and a half years, Jim immersed himself in generative AI and rebuilt his creative practice. The result is a hybrid production model that combines expert storytelling experience with AI-enabled video. This approach allows Jim to deliver high-quality commercial video content for businesses at around 80 per cent less than traditional production costs. In this session, Jim will share: - How learning AI changed his business model and renewed his creative motivation - What hybrid AI video production looks like in practice - How businesses can now access professional video that was previously out of budget - Why experience, judgement, and storytelling still matter in an AI-enabled world - Join this AI Innovator Spotlight to hear the real story behind VidAio and how advancements in AI video have reignited founder Jim Martin’s passion for video production. The conversation will be an inspiring example of how a distinguished career, combined with AI capabilities, can drive industry-wide innovation and push the boundaries of what is possible.
