58/100
As a brand manager, much of your producing work is affected by AI, but the strategic responsibility and the overall view you hold for the brand are harder to replace. AI drafts content, analyses campaigns and monitors the market far faster than before, while positioning, messaging and cross functional leadership still demand human judgement. You should make AI your production engine and own the strategy yourself.
Screen / desk work
As a brand manager you work almost entirely in front of a screen with analysis, content and communication. Precisely because so much of the daily work can be done digitally, the production and analysis parts are especially exposed to automation. The strategic responsibility and the leadership, on the other hand, are safe.
