Pragmative Communications Helps Companies Stand Out in an AI World
In this article, you’ll discover:
- Why AI content can make brands all sound the same.
- How Pragmative uses human strategy to build a unique voice.
- What their company name reveals about their smart approach.
- How a new website shows the power of people over AI.
Have you ever noticed how a lot of ads and company messages sound the same these days? A big reason for that is Artificial Intelligence, or AI. It’s a great tool for getting work done fast, but it can also make everything feel a little generic. One company, Pragmative Communications, is taking a different approach by putting people first. They just brought on a new expert, Keith D’Mello, and launched a new website to show everyone how they do it.
The Problem with AI Sameness
AI is changing how companies talk to their customers. It can write emails, create social media posts, and more. But while it’s efficient, it often lacks a special touch. It can lead to a “sea of sameness” where no one really stands out.

Mike Boccio, the Founder and President of Pragmative Communications, explains that AI is missing a key ingredient: human strategy. He believes that real, creative ideas are what make a brand memorable.
“AI is fundamentally changing the communications industry by making certain aspects more efficient and reshaping the underlying economics of the business. As a result, companies are demanding tighter scopes. But AI can’t provide the strategic human intelligence that creates authentic brand distinction. We built Pragmative specifically for this reality: flat structure, no B team, direct access to experienced strategists whose insights can’t be replicated in-house or replaced by AI. We’re built for where the market is heading.”
A Focus on Human Smarts
Pragmative’s big idea is “Prioritizing Human Intelligence.” This isn’t just a catchy phrase. It’s how they run their business. When a company works with them, they talk directly to experienced experts, not a junior team. It’s like getting advice from the head chef instead of someone who just started in the kitchen.
This approach is all about creating real connections. They believe that a brand’s true personality can’t be generated by a computer.
“‘Prioritizing Human Intelligence’ isn’t a tagline, it’s our differentiator. That means when clients engage with us, they get direct access to the strategic minds they actually want. We’re a flat organization of seasoned professionals with decades of experience. There’s no B team. This approach helps companies bridge the gap between AI-generated sameness and true brand distinction.”
New Teammate, New Strengths
To boost their team of experts, Pragmative welcomed Keith D’Mello as the new Director of Brand Strategy & Creative. With years of experience, Keith knows exactly how to help companies develop a unique voice and style. His hiring shows that Pragmative is serious about providing creative solutions that AI can’t match. It’s all about making sure their clients’ stories are told with clarity and purpose, so they don’t get lost in the crowd.
A Website That Shows, Not Just Tells
One of Keith’s first big projects was redesigning the Pragmative website. The new site is more than just a fresh look. It’s a perfect example of what the company does for its clients. It was built with human strategy and creativity from the ground up, showing firsthand how a thoughtful approach can make a brand truly different. Mike Boccio was proud of the result.
“Keith’s first task was redesigning our website. The final product demonstrates the integrated brand strategy, communications, and execution we deliver for clients. Suffice it to say, we practice what we preach.”
What’s in a Name?

Even the company’s name has a story. “Pragmative” is a mix of two words: “pragmatic” (which means practical and sensible) and “creative.” It’s the perfect description for a company that offers smart, real-world solutions that are also fresh and imaginative. Mike mentions that many people think “Pragmative” has always been a real word, which tells him the idea really clicks with people. It’s this blend of smart thinking and creativity that helps companies build a brand that lasts.
