Smarter agentic bets: Sportsbet marketing boss on three years of applied AI learning; automating the ‘shit’ jobs like CAD TV ad approvals that ‘brand teams hate’; key platform and process lessons to lift

Sportsbet marketing boss Tim Hernadi went early on AI – piling into generative three years ago and notching massive creative and productions savings, plus smarter CX customer hooks. A couple of months ago he sent production and animation head Toby Barrett to China for the biggest AI show on earth. Barrett came back with agentic AI process inspiration and has since put it to work, with self-built AI agents reducing the time it takes to approve TV ads with Clear Ads, “one of those repetitive, shit tasks” hated by the marketing team, by a whopping 87 per cent. Now Sportsbet is aiming AI agents at all those shit jobs – and going multiagent. Here’s three years of learning, the platforms they are using and accumulative advice that’s probably a decent each-way bet for any team getting started.
