OUR LATEST NEWS
Groove Jones is a FINALIST in the 2023 Shorty Awards for the category of Artificial Intellegence. The work we did for FC Dallas https://pulse.ly/39zf6m034g uses a system powered by AI and ML (Machine Learning) so we can process every scanned person, regardless of what they were wearing. In seconds, their data were analyzed to add them to the action video. The system then sent a link to the user so they could watch and download their custom video.
The Shorty Awards Ceremony and celebration is Wednesday, May 24th, at Tribeca 360° in New York City. We are incredibly excited to be among the other AI finalists, @FCBGlobal, @MichelobULTRA , @Aconite
This award honors a brand, agency or organization that effectively and creatively uses artificial intelligence tools such as machine learning, voice AI, and data processing to achieve strategic social and digital marketing goals. Areas include content creation, consumer intelligence, customer service, and marketing.
