🩶 Pembroke Collective: The Thoughtful Use of AI
Last week, at a prospective client meeting, I was asked how we’re using AI. Like many people, I feel this year, AI has come in hot and heavy with no guardrails.
After experimenting over the course of the year, here is where we have landed.
Our primary goal is to keep things aligned with Pembroke Collective’s refined, design-forward ethos.
Pembroke Collective: Our Thoughtful Use of AI
Integrating Intelligence with Intuition
At Pembroke Collective, we view AI as a creative collaborator . A collaborator that refines, amplifies, and expands our capacity for thoughtful storytelling.
By integrating AI into our workflow, we streamline operations, sharpen strategy, and create more space for the irreplaceable human connections that truly move brands forward.
Strategy Meets Storytelling
1. Strategic Storytelling
AI helps us shape and refine brand narratives by clarifying the essence of a brand and distilling it into stories that feel both timeless and timely.
Every output remains rooted in our human intuition and editorial craftsmanship.
2. Media Intelligence
ChatGPT allows us to analyze the shifting media landscape in real time by identifying emerging trends, journalist interests, and story angles that position our clients at the center of relevant conversations.
3. PR & Content Development
We use AI to develop first-draft press releases, founder bios, and thought-leadership pieces, ensuring faster turnarounds while maintaining the editorial precision our work is known for.
4. Thought Leadership
Through structured ideation and tone refinement, AI helps us craft compelling op-eds, interviews, and positioning statements that elevate our clients’ voices in their industries.
5. Social Media & Digital Storytelling
We leverage ChatGPT to extend a brand’s narrative across platforms fulfilling our primary goal of cohesion. We make sure the same story is told as every touch point. From caption concepts and content pillars to visual mood prompts, ensuring cohesion, clarity, and cultural resonance.
“Technology doesn’t replace our intuition — it expands it.”

Precision, Efficiency & Creative Flow
6. Research & Insight
AI tools synthesize data, competitor positioning, and cultural signals, allowing us to make faster, smarter strategic decisions grounded in both intelligence and instinct.
7. Creative Concepting
For events, partnerships, or campaign naming, ChatGPT serves as a creative sparring partner, helping us explore new directions while staying true to each brand’s DNA.
8. Operational Efficiency
We use AI to automate routine processes such as proposal scaffolds, media reports, and meeting recaps , freeing our team to focus on higher-value creative and strategic work.
9. Bespoke PR Tools
Custom AI-powered templates, from pitch trackers to strategic dashboards, enable us to operate with greater precision, speed, and transparency across all client accounts.
10. A Human-First Approach
Above all, AI enhances what has always defined Pembroke Collective: thoughtful communications, strategic storytelling, and a deep respect for our craft.
Our work remains human at its core; elevated, never automated.
