Human-First AI Marketing Podcast by Avenue9 AI Video Production & Creative CoPilots with Amer Tadayon
What happens when AI stops being a gimmick and starts being your creative partner? In this episode, Mike Montague chats with Amer Tadayon, founder of LuciHub, about how AI video tools are opening new doors for small businesses, nonprofits, and solo marketers. From script writing and shot lists to voiceovers and final edits, AI is now a creative co-pilot, not a replacement for humans, but an amplifier of ideas. Amer shares how SMBs are creating authentic, high-performing video content using just a phone, a few smart tools, and a bold story to tell.
If you’ve ever felt priced out of video production, overwhelmed by AI, or stuck repurposing the same old content, this conversation will shift your mindset. You’ll hear how lo-fi, real-talk videos are outperforming polished commercials, why authenticity builds trust faster than perfection, and how frontline teams can become your most powerful storytellers. Whether you're running a nonprofit or a scrappy B2B team, this episode will help you rethink what’s possible with AI and a human-first marketing mindset.
Key Takeaways
1. AI is democratizing storytelling
Tools like LuciHub allow anyone with a phone and a story to create high-quality video content, removing the traditional cost barriers of production.
2. Creativity is no longer gated by capital.
You don’t need a seven-figure budget to bring your ideas to life; AI levels the playing field for small businesses and solo creators.
3. Lo-fi video is outperforming hi-fi in many cases.
Authentic, phone-shot videos often drive better engagement than expensive, overly polished ads because they feel more real and trustworthy.
4. Storytelling is shifting from marketing teams to frontline workers
Amer shared how companies are empowering team members on the ground to share brand stories in their own words, bringing humanity and perspective.
5. AI video tools are launching one-person agencies.
Entrepreneurs are using Lucy Hub to start lean content businesses, proving that small teams (or individuals) can punch well above their weight with the right tools.
6. Voiceovers and avatars have their place, but not everywhere
AI voiceovers are fine for short-form, tactical content, but human voices and faces still lead when it comes to trust and emotional resonance.
7. AI reduces risk and encourages experimentation.
When content is faster and cheaper to produce, brands are more willing to test bold ideas, because a failed video doesn’t blow the whole budget.
8. The future of video is agile, authentic, and powered by AI
Video today is like fast fashion, turnaround matters, but emotional connection still wins; AI helps you do both better.
