Cleo AI | Brand Social Launch






Role Group Creative Director
Agency Monks

           Cleo, an AI financial advisor, had launched with a Gen Z-focused brand that was working against their ability to grow their credibility with a wider audience. Inspired by Her and mid-century futurist aesthetics, we worked with the brand to reinvent their social presence, leveraging generative AI with a more sophisticated eye to build a vision of the future where AI isn’t just a sidekick, it’s integrated into the fabric of our lives.

A pre-launch teaser invited them into the world. A launch campaign on organic social established the vision of life with Cleo. And a diverse array of paid and organic soical content helped establish a consistent new voice.
