AI Is Here—And It’s Time to Embrace It

Welcome to the first edition of Stump Speech—Cedar Strategy & Content’s blog on media, messaging, and the fast-moving world of content strategy.

After 15 years producing Emmy-winning shows and leading teams at CNN, CNBC, and Fox News, I’ve seen how powerful messaging can either meet the moment—or completely miss. I built Cedar to help brands and executives navigate this constantly changing media space with clarity, confidence, and credibility. This blog is an extension of that mission: sharing lessons learned, shifts to watch, and strategies that work.

Today’s topic: AI isn’t coming—it’s already here and reshaping how we create and communicate. If you’re not integrating it into your workflow, you’re falling behind. But using it well requires more than prompts and shortcuts—it demands strategy.
