We First AI builds on a body of work that has always focused on one question: what does it take for innovation to earn belief at scale?
‍
That question first took shape in We First: How Brands and Consumers Use Social Media to Build a Better World, where we explored how technology reshapes the relationship between businesses and the people they serve. Over the past 15 years, that exploration has turned into a thriving practice—helping global brands, growth companies, nonprofits, and foundations translate impact into sustained growth.
‍
During that time, We First has worked with organizations including Unilever, MARS, Sony Pictures, Timberland, Diageo, and SAP, and advised CEOs, governments, and global NGOs—from the United Nations to UN Global Compact to X Prize—on how to build brands that lead with relevance, credibility, and purpose. Long before these ideas became mainstream, we helped organizations prove that trust, meaning, and performance are not trade-offs—they reinforce one another.
‍
Today, AI represents the most consequential shift in business in a generation. And as capability accelerates, the differentiator has shifted elsewhere. Adoption, trust, and legitimacy are now the constraints on growth. We First AI works with companies that see this clearly—those committed to building AI businesses that gain traction quickly, earn confidence over time, and lead their categories through the impact they create and sustain.
‍
AI Humanism is the lens we bring to this moment: understanding that the companies who win will be those who turn technological power into human belief.
