Team Spotlight: Kyle Harvey

Name: Kyle Harvey

Role: Research Director, Insights & Strategy

When did you join Vault AI and why?

September 2022. I spent 5 years in traditional entertainment research and became convinced that there was untapped opportunity to innovate and create more impact within the industry. AI is a tool with endless possibilities and applications– its potential is just beginning to be understood. I joined Vault AI to be a pioneer in the space and help realize everything this new tool can offer the entertainment world.

Describe your job at Vault AI

I’m director of insights and strategy and wear different hats in that role. I’m involved in pitching new clients, building accounts, and contributing to product and business strategy. But most importantly I’m an insights guy; I turn big data into actionable insights that ladder up to strategic roadmaps that our clients can trust and lean into. 

What does your typical day look like?

No day is the same at Vault which is a good thing! One day may start by pitching our capabilities to studio execs, followed by head-down writing on a positioning report, interrupted by a business growth meeting and ending with a genre landscape presentation to a room of marketers, researchers, and creatives. I love the variety.

What’s the best thing about working at Vault AI?

Many companies sell themselves on being innovative but Vault AI actually embodies it. Every week: the technology improves, our models get smarter, and our insights get sharper. In six months, I’ve seen unbelievable growth that leads me to believe all the impressive things we’re doing today are still only a fraction of what we’ll be doing tomorrow.
