S4 Capital’s Monks Launches NVIDIA Foundry & Agentic AI Advisory Group

“We’ve built on our technical expertise to create an agile and efficient approach to Applied AI with a more nimble team of engineers and advisors.” says Michael Dobell, EVP of Innovation at Monks. “In today's landscape, a simple structure can put us one step ahead, allowing us to deliver with a speed and depth that legacy holding companies and networks struggle to match, setting a new standard for what’s possible in the industry.”

GTC attendees can see how agentic AI, using Monks.Flow, integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA NIM™, creates a high-quality 30-second creative spot in a fraction of the time required by traditional production methods. By developing with Omniverse technology and leveraging NVIDIA Blueprints, Monks can orchestrate interoperability between creative teams and tools, allowing for scalable real-time development of hyper-realistic content. By harnessing the capabilities of NIM microservices on performant hardware, Monks was able to accelerate delivery of agentic workflows by over 2.8x. In addition, NIM microservices perfectly slotted into a cloud-agnostic strategy, utilizing the Kubernetes deployment strategy to easily run all of the backing models in all major cloud providers, for any client needs. Attendees can explore this innovation at the Monks booth in the GTC AI Pavilion, while audiences at home can now view a fully AI generated PUMA Film showcasing the incredible creative output.

This end-to-end workflow demonstrates how cutting-edge AI, coupled with Omniverse's capabilities, is transforming the future of content creation. By consolidating traditionally segmented areas—insights, strategy, creative, execution, media, performance and assets at scale—into a seamless, end-to-end agentic pipeline, the workflow results in work that is more adaptive, efficient and visually stunning—all at unprecedented speed.

“NVIDIA Omniverse and OpenUSD are enabling developers to build AI applications that assist artists and creative teams with efficient and scalable production techniques for digital marketing assets,” says Richard Kerris, Vice President of Media and Entertainment at NVIDIA. “Monks.Flow’s integration demonstrates how AI and digital twins can transform industries and set new benchmarks for innovation.”

At GTC this week, Lewis Smithingham, EVP of Strategic Industries at Monks, will present “Novel Use Cases for AI in Large Media Archives." Additionally, Tony Walasik, Senior Product Manager at Monks, will join Scott Connolly, Head of Media Technology at Verizon Innovation Labs, to discuss “AI on Location: Deploying Mobile Private Networks and Edge Compute for Next-Gen Content Pipelines.”

The Monks booth (#3263) offers attendees a more in-depth look at Monks.Flow, which leverages advanced AI models to transform businesses. By automating workflows and linking talent, software and microservices, Monks.Flow orchestrates marketing operations for the age of agentic AI, providing solutions for every stage of the creative lifecycle and offering a seamless journey from strategy to delivery. It begins with insights and strategy, where clients gain valuable data and develop targeted plans to guide their marketing efforts. This is followed by creation and adaptation, enabling the efficient production and customization of content to meet specific needs. Finally, Monks.Flow ensures delivery and performance, optimizing content to reach the right audience with maximum effectiveness. This platform has already delivered performance boosts for brands like Headspace, Hatch and Chime.
