Despite experimenting with AI-generated visuals, the brand saw better engagement from authentic, human-led campaigns. While AI supports backend tasks like segmentation and reporting, M&S prioritises diversity, relatability, and loyalty in its customer communication, values Kapadia says AI still can’t replicate. With 70% of ad spend now digital, M&S is evolving its strategy without compromising its identity as a quality-first, people-focused brand. *Why it matters:* As fashion brands race to adopt generative AI, M&S is pushing back with a counterpoint: tech-driven efficiency doesn’t guarantee emotional impact. In a market flooded with synthetic perfection, human authenticity may be the real differentiator.
