🔧 Technical Implementation

API Integration:

from google.cloud import aiplatform
from vertexai.preview.generative_models import GenerativeModel

# Initialize Vertex AI
aiplatform.init(project="your-project", location="us-central1")

# Gemini 2.5 Pro for video
model = GenerativeModel("gemini-2.5-pro")

# Process video with audio
response = model.generate_content([
    "Analyze this video and extract key marketing insights",
    video_file,  # Up to 6 hours
])

# Imagen 4 for image generation
from vertexai.preview.vision_models import ImageGenerationModel
imagen = ImageGenerationModel.from_pretrained("imagen-4")
images = imagen.generate_images(
    prompt="Professional product photo, studio lighting, white background",
    number_of_images=4
)

Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Interleaved Generation):

# Generate images within text responses
model = GenerativeModel("gemini-2.5-flash-image")
response = model.generate_content([
    "Create a 5-step recipe with images for each step"
])
# Returns text + images interleaved

Audio Generation (Lyria):

from vertexai.preview.audio_models import AudioGenerationModel
lyria = AudioGenerationModel.from_pretrained("lyria")
audio = lyria.generate_audio(
    prompt="Upbeat background music for product launch video, 30 seconds",
    duration=30
)

📊 Marketing Workflow Automation

1. Multi-Channel Campaign Creation:

# Single prompt generates all assets
campaign = model.generate_content([
    """Create a product launch campaign for [product]:
    - Hero image (1920x1080)
    - 3 social media graphics (1080x1080)
    - 30-second video script
    - Background music description
    - Email marketing copy
    - Instagram caption"""
])

2. Video Repurposing Pipeline:

# Long-form to short-form conversion (ViGenAiR approach)
long_video = "gs://bucket/original-ad-60s.mp4"
response = model.generate_content([
    f"Extract 3 engaging 15-second clips from this video for TikTok/Reels",
    long_video
])
# Auto-generates format-specific versions

3. Personalized Ad Generation:

# Context-aware image generation (Adios approach)
for audience in audiences:
    ad_image = imagen.generate_images(
        prompt=f"Product ad for {product}, targeting {audience.demographics}, {audience.style_preference}",
        aspect_ratio="16:9"
    )

🎯 Best Practices for Jeremy

1. Project Setup:

# Set environment variables
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="path/to/service-account.json"

# Install SDK
pip install google-cloud-aiplatform[vision,audio] google-generativeai

2. Rate Limits & Quotas:

• Gemini 2.5 Pro: 2M tokens/min (video processing)
• Imagen 4: 100 images/min
• Monitor usage in Cloud Console

3. Cost Optimization:

• Use Gemini 2.5 Flash for faster, cheaper operations
• Batch image generation requests
• Cache video embeddings for repeated analysis
• Use low-resolution video setting when appropriate

4. Security & Compliance:

• Keep API keys in Secret Manager, never in code
• Use service accounts with minimal permissions
• Enable VPC Service Controls for data residency
• Log all API calls for audit trails

🚀 Advanced Marketing Use Cases

1. Campaign Performance Analysis:

# Analyze competitor campaigns
competitor_videos = ["gs://bucket/competitor1.mp4", "gs://bucket/competitor2.mp4"]
analysis = model.generate_content([
    "Compare these competitor videos: themes, messaging, CTAs, production quality",
    *competitor_videos
])

2. Content Localization:

# Generate multilingual campaigns
for lang in ["en", "es", "fr", "de", "ja"]:
    localized_content = model.generate_content([
        f"Translate and culturally adapt this campaign for {lang} market:",
        campaign_brief,
        hero_image
    ])

3. A/B Test Generation:

# Generate variations automatically
variations = []
for style in ["minimalist", "bold", "luxury", "playful"]:
    variation = imagen.generate_images(
        prompt=f"Product ad, {style} style, {brand_guidelines}",
        number_of_images=1
    )
    variations.append(variation)
