Asset production repriced sharply. Brand systems and art direction did not.
Taste, coherence and knowing why something works are the paid skills now.
Framing follows the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025 and PwC Global AI Jobs Barometer 2025: most roles see task-level augmentation rather than wholesale replacement.
