Based on 125 AI projects from our talent network, we uncovered the one trait that separates extraordinary AI talent from everyone else. Register for early access to learn how to find this talent on your team and in the market.

We set out to understand how creative and marketing professionals are actually using AI. We gathered stories from talent about countless real-world projects: what problem they solved, what they built, and what they achieved. We expected to find patterns in tools, skills, and technical aptitude. Instead, we found something else entirely. The most sophisticated AI work is happening across all disciplines, all company sizes, and all backgrounds. A Motion Designer, a Content Strategist, an Account Manager, a UX Designer—different roles, different industries, different skill sets. But they all shared one thing: a builder's mindset. They see what's broken, missing, or not yet possible. They don't wait for a roadmap or someone else to solve it. They build. For leaders, that changes everything. You don't need to overhaul your team or launch a transformation initiative. You need people with this mindset. Give them real problems and room to work, and they'll find solutions you didn't know were possible. Click below to register for early access to the report!
