“The Work Is Going to Get Sh*tty”: Aaron Starkman on Anxiety, AI, and Independent Creativity

Aaron Starkman doesn’t just think the ad industry is changing—he believes it’s entering its most defining moment yet.

The rapid pace of change, however, is enough to make any creative uneasy. Starkman shares how he stays focused on creativity and overcomes his anxiety. Plus, he reveals the cultural force that influences how Rethink makes breakthrough advertising.
