Every major brand is pouring billions into AI. And most of them are about to make the same catastrophic mistake. The one thing AI will never replicate is the exact skill that separates legendary brands from forgettable ones. Ogilvy Spain's CEO just said it out loud at Ibiza Tech Forum 2026 and it changes how you think about creativity, marketing, and your own career. Jordi Urbea is CEO of Ogilvy Spain, one of Europe's most powerful advertising operations within the WPP Group, the largest advertising network in the world. He has spent decades working across automotive, finance, FMCG, health, and sports with the world's most recognised brands. His job: take companies and make them impossible to ignore. In this episode of the BeInCrypto Expert Council, Jordi breaks down why the brands winning in the AI era are not the ones using the most technology. They are the ones that understand the one thing machines cannot fake.
