AI may be getting flashier, but is it making your creative work better or just…blobbier?


In this episode of Is Anything Real in Paid Advertising?, I sit down with Christina Magaña, Founder of Modish Creative and creative strategist behind some of the most vibrant, soulful branding campaigns in the game.


We dive into:


  • Why AI-generated visuals are hitting a ceiling (and sometimes a wall)
  • What agencies are missing when it comes to real creative impact
  • How short-form video is helping founders cross from creator to closer
  • The one underrated content format every agency should lean into


Plus: the 2010 Instagram personality that still lives inside ChatGPT and how Christina trains her clients to break free from emoji-and-em-dash chaos.


It’s raw, real, and wildly creative.
