AI Creative Director

Jeremy Somers Portfolio

jeremysomers.com traces 20 years of creative direction for Nike, Spotify, Pepsi, Samsung, and Mercedes-Benz into NotContent.ai, an AI-assisted creative agency he founded before ChatGPT's public release — run alongside We Are Handsome, the swimwear brand he's built across 40+ countries over 12 years.

What makes it work

A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.

1

Founding date used as a specific, checkable claim of early adoption

Stating NotContent.ai launched "before ChatGPT's public release" is a precise timing claim that actually distinguishes a genuine early mover from someone who joined the trend later.

2

A non-AI business run in parallel as evidence of durable creative judgment

We Are Handsome, operating in 40+ countries over 12 years, has nothing to do with AI — showing the creative-direction skill exists independent of the current AI wave.

3

Long-tenured brand relationships listed by name

Nike, Spotify, Pepsi, Samsung, and Mercedes-Benz spanning 20 years establishes a track record that has survived multiple trend cycles, not just the current generative-AI one.

What AI Creative Directors can take from this

Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.

  • If you were genuinely early to a trend, state the specific date or milestone that proves it.

  • Keep a non-AI project or business visible in your portfolio — it shows your creative judgment isn't solely a function of the current tool trend.

  • List long-standing client relationships by name and duration; longevity across trend cycles is its own credential.
