Saatchi & Saatchi
- Saatchi & Saatchi struggled to find reusable assets in its vast backlog of marketing materials.
- The marketing agency started using an AI search engine called Lucy to simplify the process.
- This article is part of “CXO AI Playbook” — straight talk from business leaders on how they’re testing and using AI.
For “CXO AI Playbook,” Business Insider takes a look at mini case studies about AI adoption across industries, company sizes, and technology DNA. We’ve asked each of the featured companies to tell us about the problems they’re trying to solve with AI, who’s making these decisions internally, and their vision for using AI in the future.
Saatchi & Saatchi is a global communications and marketing agency that works with major brands, including Toyota and Tide. The agency, which is headquartered in London, is part of Publicis Communications, a hub of Publicis Groupe.
Situation analysis: What problem was the company trying to solve?
For each client and campaign, Saatchi & Saatchi creates a collection of assets, including images, videos, final presentations, strategic insights, and briefs. These items accumulate over the years as the agency continues working with clients, Jeremiah Knight, its chief operating officer, told Business Insider.

Often, teams need to review documents from past campaigns, such as when a company launches a product, he said, but the challenge is, “How do you find that stuff after you’ve created it?”
Sometimes, the people who worked on the original campaign can’t remember where those documents are saved, or they might have left the agency, Knight added. Employees also don’t always follow file-system hierarchies.
That can create a “needle in the haystack” situation to find necessary information, Knight said.
Key staff and partners
The agency realized that automation could help improve asset organization, Knight said, so he worked with the company’s CEO and chief financial officer on a solution.
“Once you paint the picture of the problem and how valuable the solution might be, we all understood this would be a great thing for us to undertake,” Knight added.
AI in action
About two years ago, Saatchi & Saatchi contracted with Lucy, an AI-powered search engine, to help find specific items in its system.
Lucy is integrated into the agency’s Microsoft Teams chat function. Users can ask it questions through Teams, and Lucy searches the agency’s files and sends results in Teams, Knight said.
To access the documents, users are directed to log in to the Lucy web interface. They can also search and find information directly through the web interface without going through Teams.
Saatchi & Saatchi integrated the search engine Lucy into the chat function of Microsoft Teams.

“It’s sort of a library of everything of our collective knowledge,” Knight said, including creative assets, campaign data, and other information.
To help train the artificial-intelligence model to produce the desired results, the agency hosted trainings on how to use Lucy and encouraged everyone to use it and provide feedback.
“The more you play with it, the more you use it, the better it gets,” Knight said. “We had to get over that hurdle to make sure that they continuously use it and help us train the model.”
Did it work, and how did leaders know?
Lucy has helped Saatchi & Saatchi index information, Knight said. So if someone forgets to use the correct filing structure or saves information in the wrong place, the tool can usually find it.
“Not only is that a time saver, it actually is helping direct people straight to the documents that are the most valuable to answer the question, ‘How can we learn from what we’ve done before?’” he said.
The AI implementation is still a work in progress, Knight added: “This is one of the most exciting times to play and experiment and see what’s possible, unlock so many things creatively and workflow-wise for different departments.”
What’s next?
Saatchi & Saatchi continues to leverage generative AI across its agency in multiple ways, such as creative conceptualizing, minimizing repetitive tasks, and analyzing data, Knight said.
He said the investment in the technology would continue as the agency sought to create efficiencies. In January, Publicis Groupe announced plans to invest $326 million in AI over the next three years, including a proprietary tool, CoreAI.
“AI helps with every single business problem,” he said. “The less time you spend hunting for things, the faster you can create business value for your clients.”

The best facial hair removers leave you with soft, hairless skin every time.
Amazon/Business Insider
We don’t know if you need to hear this, but facial hair on women is *very* common — and completely natural. While some are unbothered by facial hair, others may choose to remove it. For those in the latter group, you’ll be pleased to find that you have plenty of expert-approved options regarding the best facial hair removers.
Dr. Blair Murphy-Rose, a board-certified dermatologist and Clinical Instructor of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College, says that finding the best hair facial hair removal device for you begins with considering several factors. First, consider “the anatomic site, your skin type and skin tone, your skin’s sensitivity level, your comfort level, and experience with the hair removal modality,” says the dermatologist.
Clinical facial hair removal procedures may be well worth a shot, assuming you do your research and select an experienced practitioner. But, of course, at-home facial hair removal is often cheaper and less time-consuming. Our top pick is the Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover, a handheld, virtually pain-free electric razor that leaves no bumps or nicks behind. And if you’re looking for something more permanent, consider splurging on the Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X, which delivers the salon experience at home.
From shaving and dermaplaning to waxing kits and depilatory creams, here are the best facial hair removers, according to dermatologists.
The top 5 picks for the best facial hair removal products
How to choose the best facial hair remover for you
When choosing the best facial hair removal method for you, be sure to consider everything from skin sensitivity to skin texture and tone. Take laser hair removal, for example. According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Bradley Glodny, those with fair skin and dark hair are “the absolute best candidate for laser hair removal,” which offers long-lasting results. On the other hand, “If you have white hair that is unwanted, laser hair removal will likely not be the best device for you,” he explains.
Those looking for a quick, easy solution that’s inexpensive and (virtually) pain-free may consider dermaplaning, depilatory cream, shaving, or tweezing (which is especially great for plucking stray hairs by the eyebrows, lips, or chin). If you have sensitive skin, you may want to opt for products that remove hair from the top layer of the skin, like our top pick depilatory cream, the Nair Hair Remover Moisturizing Face Cream, or a hair trimmer, like our best overall pick, the Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover.
Waxing is another great option for those with sensitive skin prone to irritation from friction. What’s more, compared to shaving, waxing offers longer-lasting results (more on that below!) since the hair is removed at the root.
Dr. Murphy-Rose notes that safety comes first when performing any at-home hair removal treatments and advises making yourself aware of any “risks and potential side effects [irritation, cuts, burns, or scarring] to these procedures, and to therefore exercise caution while performing them.”
Best overall
The One Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover has over 131,000 Amazon ratings (including 92,000-plus five-star reviews), and for good reason. This small but mighty hair removal device is battery-powered and great for on-the-go use thanks to its compact size, making it the best facial hair remover for women we recommend. The Finishing Touch hair remover is perfect for removing peach fuzz and hair on the face, and the built-in LED light makes it even easier to spot stray hairs. Simply hold the device to your face and press down in small, circular motions — et voilà, no more peach fuzz.
Best permanent hair removal device
If you’re looking for a permanent hair removal solution on your search for the best facial hair removers for women, consider splurging on the Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X. Suitable for use on both the face and body, this at-home laser hair removal device utilizes diode lasers, the same technology used in dermatologist offices and clinics. The built-in LED screen makes it easy to keep track of the device’s remaining battery life. Choose from five levels (one being the lowest and most painless, five being the highest and most painful).
Best epilator
Per Dr. Shirazi, the Braun Silk-épil 9 9-890 is both easy to use and clean — and it’s suitable for wet or dry use on the face and body. She describes this epilator as “very effective at doing a thorough job of removing the maximum number of hairs with each pass.” It’s also cordless and waterproof. Finally, if you’re worried about pain, you’ll be relieved to find that this epilator comes with a massage cap to help reduce discomfort so that you have a gentle, comfortable hair removal experience.
Best dermaplaner
At-home dermaplaning for exfoliation has become increasingly popular in recent years. Those interested in dermaplaning ought to try out the Versed Dermaplaning Tool, which comes highly recommended by California-based board-certified dermatologist Azadeh Shirazi, MD. She praises the tool’s “slip-free grip” and “single-edge high-performing blade,” which is key in removing peach fuzz and dead skin cells. The result? A brighter, smoother complexion. While this dermaplaner is not exactly cheap, it is reusable; plus, it includes two blades.
Best depilatory cream
Keep peach fuzz at bay by using a hair removal cream (also known as depilatory cream) like this one from Nair. Clocking in around $4 per two-ounce bottle, it features an ultra-moisturizing formula spiked with vitamin E-rich sweet almond oil. It’s ideal for upper lip, chin, and cheeks use.
Best razor
This Tweezerman Facial Razor features stainless steel blades that effectively slough off dull, dead skin — along with peach fuzz and thicker facial hair — all from the comfort of your bathroom. Per the brand, this razor is best used either 1) after you’ve washed and moisturized your face or 2) with your face wash still on. From there, simply hold it at an angle and make short downward strokes while delicately applying light pressure. Then, rinse and sterilize the razor with an alcohol wipe to prevent bacteria from building up. Lastly, it’s recommended that you change the blades every two to three months.
Best hair removal spring
Remove unwanted facial hair easily using the Tweezerman Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover spring, which Dr. Shirazi describes as “a quick way to remove hair with minimal pain.” As a bonus, this tool kit comes with a free Tweezerette (AKA small tweezers that are great for quick touch-ups).
Best tweezer
The Revlon Expert Slant Tip Tweezer boasts a sturdy stainless steel construction that offers an easy, comfortable, and secure grip. Meanwhile, its slant-tip design is perfect for precisely plucking unwanted hairs away. With these super popular tweezers, you can add a permanent secret weapon to your hair removal arsenal for as low as $6.
Best sugaring kit
Sugaring is similar to waxing, as both hair removal processes involve applying sticky substances to the skin to remove unwanted hair. However, sugaring is one of the best facial hair removers for women because it is gentler on the skin. The Schick Hydro Silk Sugar Wax Wand for Face + Brow makes at-home sugaring a breeze: The wand allows the wax to glide on smoothly, while the Precision Stick is great for targeting specific, small, and hard-to-reach nooks and crannies.
Meanwhile, the vegan and paraben-free wax warms up in a matter of minutes. It can be easily rinsed off with water should you make any mistakes (we’ve all been there!). This starter kit includes 20 reusable strips and four sachets of post-wax soothing serum.
Best waxing kit
According to Dr. Shirazi, the GiGi Mini Pro Hair Removal Waxing Kit is one of the best facial hair removers for women searching for a more gentle wax. The all-in-one kit also offers excellent value: one kit includes a selection of cleansers, lotions, and gels for pre- and post-waxing — along with cloth strips in different sizes depending on what area(s) of the face you’re working on.
Facial hair removal FAQs
Which hair removal process lasts the longest?
Every dermatologist we spoke to agreed that laser removal lasts the longest. “I consider this a permanent or semi-permanent removal of unwanted hair,” says Dr. Glodny. “Results following 3 to 6 treatments can last years.”
Another form of permanent hair removal is electrolysis. “For those who are not good candidates for laser hair removal [such as people with light hair], I generally recommend electrolysis,” explains Dr. Glodny. “This treatment involves sending electric currents down the follicles, hair by hair.” Compared to laser hair removal, electrolysis is a much slower process, and per Dr. Glodny, it may take “10-20 treatments for significant results.”
Which hair removal process lasts the shortest?
According to Dr. Murphy-Rose, shaving and dermaplaning last the shortest “because the hairs are removed at the level of the skin’s surface or just below it.” Dr. Glodny echoes these sentiments, saying, “Any hair removal treatment that breaks, cuts, or denatures the hair above the skin-hair border will not last as long as treatments which remove the hair at the level of the hair bulb or hair root.”
“Any method that removes the hair at a deeper level will last longer because it will take longer for the hair to grow back,” says Dr. Murphy-Rose. For this reason, she notes that “waxing, sugaring, tweezing, and epilating last longer than shaving.”
Does removing facial hair cause it to grow back thicker?
Short answer: no, it’s a myth. Removing your facial hair through whatever method you choose does not change the hair’s color, thickness, or rate of growth. What you may notice when shaving, for example, is the bluntness of the hair follicle after it has been cut in half. Therefore, the hair may feel slightly more prickly or stubbly as it begins to grow back in.

- Nvidia is now the second most valuable company in the world.
- The ongoing AI boom helped catapult Nvidia’s market valuation to a staggering $3.01 trillion.
- With Nvidia now bigger than Apple, the AI chip maker is just slightly behind Microsoft as the world’s biggest company.
Nvidia surged 5% on Wednesday to become the second most valuable company in the world, surpassing Apple.
The ongoing artificial intelligence boom has catapulted Nvidia’s market valuation to a staggering $3.01 trillion as mega-cap tech companies like Meta Platforms, Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft rush to buy the company’s supply-constrained AI-enabling GPU chips.
Nvidia’s valuation was just above $950 billion a year-ago and was about $400 billion in November 2022 when OpenAI first released ChatGPT to the public.
Apple stock, while trading near record highs, has stagnated over the past year as investors wait to see what the iPhone maker’s AI strategy is.
Apple stock is up 2% year-to-date, compared to Nvidia’s year-to-date gain of 146%.
Apple held a market valuation of $3.00 trillion as of Wednesday afternoon, or about $12 billion below Nvidia’s current valuation.
With Apple surpassed, Nvidia is behind only Microsoft, which is the world’s most valuable company with a market capitalization of $3.15 trillion.
With the AI boom powering much of the stock market higher, it’s no surprise that the company most responsible for powering the AI boom has turned into one of the world’s most valuable companies.
And tech analyst Beth Kindig of I/O Fund believes the gains can continue on for Nvidia, arguing in a recent interview that the company could be worth $10 trillion by 2030.
“Similar to iOS is really what locked people into the iPhone because developers were developing applications for the iPhone. The same thing is happening with Nvidia, which is that the CUDA platform is what AI engineers are learning in order to program GPUs, so that helps lock them in and that combination, right now, I’m calling it an impenetrable moat,” Kindig said last month.

- Peacock announced the cast of “The Traitors” season 3 on Wednesday.
- Like season two, all the contestants are reality stars or public personalities.
- The line-up this year includes multiple “Real Housewives” stars and several “Survivor” players.
What do a bar owner, a British royal, and a firefighter have in common? They’re all competing on “The Traitors” season three.
Peacock released the full cast list for the upcoming installment of its hit reality competition series Wednesday. And much like season two’s lineup, which featured everybody from “Big Brother” icon Dan Gheesling to “Love Island” winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, this one is a real mixed bag of personalities.
In addition to the aforementioned bar owner (Tom Sandoval), British royal (Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth), and firefighter (“Survivor” winner Jeremy Collins), there’s also Zac Efron’s brother, Dylan Efron, and the former Mr. Britney Spears, Sam Asghari, among others.
Though the first season featured a mix of public figures and regular, non-famous people, season two’s switch to all reality stars continues this year.
Interest in the US version of “The Traitors,” which is based on the Dutch show “De Verraders,” skyrocketed when its second season was released in January. It became the most-watched reality series in the streamer’s history and spawned some instantly classic memes, largely courtesy of “Real Housewives” star Phaedra Parks.
