Who is behind Artists & Robots?

Jason Alan Snyder and Heather Salkin. Jason joined Momentum Worldwide in 2013 as global chief technology officer, became its first Global Chief AI Officer in April 2025, and left in September 2025; Adweek named him to its AI Power 50 in March 2026. Heather was SVP, Executive Producer at RAPP New York and, before that, a senior vice president for North America at Momentum. She chairs the Intent Alignment workstream of the IEEE Standards Association's Trust Stack for AI in advertising.

Is this a real company with clients, or a launch announcement?

Adweek reported on November 17, 2025 that the studio had onboarded eight clients across CPG, finance, healthcare, and tech. The launch release the same day describes a strategic alignment with SoHo Experiential for production.

What have the founders actually shipped for brands?

At Momentum Worldwide their teams built Nike's "Just Do It HQ at the Church" (Cannes Lions 2019 Industry Craft Grand Prix), Verizon's "Virtual Gridiron" at Super Bowl LI (Clio Sports 2017 Bronze, Events/Experiential), and Coca-Cola's AI Studio festival experience and Spiced Shop launch, which drew more than 4,000 visitors in two days.

What is "patented" about the technology?

Jason is the named inventor on 30+ patents, including three 2023 patents assigned to Momentum NA for a machine-learning data and interface segment tagging engine, and two 2024 applications assigned to SuperTruth on mitigating data decay and applied machine learning for prospecting.

Where does the answer engine get its facts?

Every question runs against several registers at once: DataSpine, our attested household and consumer data platform; our own knowledge base and Jason's published work; a news index of more than 10,000 articles from 560+ sources, refreshed every few hours; live headlines and live market data; and the last 30 days of public conversation on Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News, and prediction markets, with engagement receipts. Every brief lists the sources it used so you can open them.

October at Artists & Robots: stages, a shipped homepage, and what is next

Artists & Robots

October has been a month of rooms and shipping. Heather Salkin took the Agency Brand Problem panel at Advertising Week New York on October 6. Jason Alan Snyder keynoted AEC 2026, the Anaqua Experience Conference in Orlando, across September 29 to October 1. Dustin Raney was at World Summit AI in Amsterdam, October 7 to 8. Each of those has its own article on this page, with the LinkedIn post it came from linked inside it.

At home, the homepage stopped being a brochure. It now opens with a working intelligence demo you can run: ask a real question in the hero, watch eleven named sources answer, and carry the brief back with every source attached. We wrote up what changed and why on the page itself, at artistsandrobots.com.

Next: Jason joins the AI panel at the Eudemonia Summit in West Palm Beach, November 5 to 8, 2026, with his panel on Friday, November 6. If you will be there, come and argue with the brief.

The fastest way to follow all of it as it happens is LinkedIn: the studio, Heather, and Jason.
