The Rundown Studio: AI & Comms Insights for Emerging Markets

Hi, Zain here.

Thanks for joining The Rundown Studio: AI and Communications Insights for Emerging Markets.

You’re now part of a community of forward-thinking communications professionals. You will stay ahead of the curve on AI trends in emerging markets

I am a comms specialist, story shaper and a former CNN journalist that covered the world. The consulting work I do now utilizes creative methods of developing stories that the world must know. I believe the journey I am on as a professional, and a student, will be valuable to you.

The problem I am solving here is that comms, creatives and newsrooms teams lack clarity on tools, have fear about the future and do not know how to integrate tech into workflows that balance both quality and ethics. I’m really passionate about the AI and comms space and I believe new tech solves a lot of pain points for storytellers in emerging markets.

I’ll share actionable insights for media and communications professionals navigating AI's impact on storytelling, newsrooms, and corporate strategy, with a focus on emerging markets like Africa.

I’ll give you weekly AI strategies along with my thinking, tools and tech to succeed in comms, creative storytelling and newsrooms.

My areas of expertise are:

• AI in Newsrooms/Media: How AI is changing journalism, content creation, and media consumption.

• AI in Corporate Comms: AI tools and strategies for PR, marketing, and internal communications.

• Emerging Markets: The unique opportunities and challenges of AI adoption in Africa and other developing regions.

I believe in being human first. So you’ll get some perspective critical thinking, judgment, and the irreplaceable human elements in the age of AI. I have a podcast series called Embedded you can listen to that deals with all of the good stuff.
