NYF’s mission to celebrate creativity and the creative community brought some of NYC’s top creatives together inside Library180 for an Ad Safari like no other. Print has a way of slowing you down, inviting you to touch the page, sit with an idea, argue about a headline, and remember why you fell in love with advertising in the first place. That spirit filled the room as everyone explored the shelves of vintage ads, browsing, debating, cringing, and championing their picks from hidden gems to the “what were they thinking?” moments.

Can Misirlioglu (ECD, Design at CYLNDR Studios), Candice Drakeford (Creative Director), Juliana Cobb (Head of Creative at 72andSunny), Amy Carvajal (Founder of Fulltank Studio), Lyle Yetman (CCO at McKinney), Shannon Washington (CCO + Partner at 11Oz), Daniela Varela (Group Creative Director at The Weber Shandwick Collective), and Pete Gosselin (Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer at CAPE) dove into the stacks at Library180 and pulled from the archives to revisit bold risks, surprising ideas, and the memorable choices that shaped past campaigns.

Then they sat down together to unpack it all: the nostalgia, the bold choices, the surprising brilliance, the beauty of print advertising, and the lessons today’s creatives can still pull from yesterday’s ads.

Step inside the Ad Safari and see what caught their eye.

The brief? “Turns out, it’s an ad for a Halloween costume.”
At Gen Jam, teams had just a few hours to concept, create, and deliver a full ad using LTX’s AI platform—and the results were nothing short of hilarious.

Hear from the minds at Machine Cinema, LTX Lightricks, and the incredible participants as this experiment shows what’s possible when human creativity and AI innovation collide.

Thank you to all the agencies who joined in: , , , , , , , ,

What happens when you bring together the sharpest creative minds, a bold AI platform, and just three hours to concept, produce, and pitch?

That’s Gen Jam: New York Festivals x Machine Cinema, presented by LTX-2 and 4As, and hosted at McCann New York — a first-of-its-kind creative experiment blending AI and human imagination.
The day brought together leaders shaping the future of advertising, including:
Britt Nolan (McCann Worldgroup North America)
Wayne Best (VML NY)
Bianca Guimaraes (Mischief @ No Fixed Address)
Scott Bell (BBDO New York)
Tiffany Rolfe (R/GA)
