Creative trends in digital advertising for 2025

From the rise of user-generated content to the foray into the metaverse and hyper-segmented personalization, these trends are not only redefining how brands tell their stories, but also how audiences experience them. Below, we explore the key creative trends that will set the tone for the coming year.

  • User-generated content (UGC) boosted.
    Authenticity remains key, with a focus on reviews, testimonials and real experiences. UGC now incorporates technologies such as augmented reality (AR) to encourage interaction and virality.
  • Generative artificial intelligence
    Generative AI is revolutionizing creative for dynamic catalog campaigns, making it possible to design more impactful and personalized ads without excessive human effort. Some of the key tools that are setting trends:
    • Meta AI Assistant: A comprehensive solution to streamline creative processes. This assistant can answer questions, generate free AI-based images and simplify complex tasks, adapting to the needs of each campaign.
    • TikTok Symphony Assistant: TikTok's exclusive AI assistant that provides creative data, personalized scripts and specific recommendations to create dynamic content optimized on the platform. Ideal for campaigns targeting young and mobile audiences.
    • New Adobe features for 2024: Innovations such as Layout Variation in Illustrator enable the automatic creation of layout variations, ideal for dynamic campaigns that require mass customization while maintaining visual consistency.
    These tools not only increase efficiency in the production of dynamic ads, but also boost creativity by combining real-time data with automated capabilities.
  • Micro stories in short video
    TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts dominate the scene. Brands condense emotional and clear messages into less than 15 seconds to capture attention.
  • Inclusivity and authentic representation
    Audiences value campaigns that reflect diversity in genders, cultures, bodies and lifestyles, promoting genuine connections with brands.
  • Immersive and experiential advertising
    Interactive experiences with VR, AR and gamification turn consumers into active participants, strengthening the emotional connection with brands.
  • Visual minimalism with impact
    Simple designs with bold typography and flat colors stand out in a saturated environment, capturing attention quickly.
  • Storytelling with purpose
    Brands align their messages with social and sustainable causes, developing narratives that inspire action and build loyalty with conscious audiences.
  • Hyper-segmented personalization
    Thanks to machine learning and first-party data, advertising campaigns reach levels of personalization that tailor messages to individual interests in real time.
  • Adaptation to visual search format
    Optimizing content for platforms such as Pinterest and Google Lens will be key, as visual discovery gains prominence in the consumer journey.
  • Nostalgia as an emotional strategy
    Campaigns that evoke aesthetics and cultural references from the past connect emotionally, especially in sectors such as fashion, entertainment and technology.
  • Data-informed creativity
    The analysis of trends, behaviors and context guarantees relevant campaigns, adapted to the cultural moment and aligned with the interests of audiences.
  • Voice advertising and conversational artificial intelligence
    Virtual assistants are driving voice advertising as a new channel. Conversational AI enables more natural and personalized interactions.
  • Narrative live shopping
    Combining live broadcasts with storytelling generates community and engagement in real time, while driving direct conversion.
  • Metaverse and virtual experiences
    This emerging environment offers unique opportunities to create immersive and personalized experiences, redefining the interaction between brands and consumers.
  • Tokenization of advertising
    Blockchain opens up new advertising models, promoting transparency, security and rewards for users interacting with brands.

Innovations for dynamic creatives in catalog campaigns by 2025

Dynamic catalog campaigns are setting the pace for digital advertising creativity in 2025. These strategies have evolved from simple functional tools to key pieces that combine personalization, technology and design. Here are the innovations that will define the coming year.

  • Mass personalization with AI
    Dynamic campaigns are evolving towards hyper-personalization, where each ad adapts not only to the user's previous behavior, but also to real-time context, such as location, weather or local events. In addition, creatives can be offered with multi-price and multi-country localization options, automatically translated by AI to maximize relevance.
  • Integrating user-generated content (UGC) into dynamics
    Incorporating reviews, photos or videos from real customers directly into catalog ads increases authenticity and builds trust in the products shown.
  • Creatives that tell product stories
    Instead of simple product mosaics, dynamic campaigns start telling stories around products, highlighting uses, benefits and differentiating values through creative layouts.
  • Catalog-based creative automation
    Leverage catalog data to create dynamic ads that highlight in-stock products, limited-time offers or new launches with engaging and adaptive design.
  • Visual optimization for mobile-first
    Most users interact with dynamic ads from mobile, so the design should be highly visual, minimalist and with interactive elements such as swipe or touch carousels.
  • Dynamic videos for catalogs
    The use of real-time personalized videos is growing. One example is transforming catalog data into animated clips that highlight products with greater visual impact.
  • Immersive and interactive aesthetics
    Incorporating augmented reality or interactive elements into dynamic ads allows users to see how products would look in their environment, increasing purchase intent.
  • Eco-responsible creative
    Showing relevant information in dynamic ads, such as sustainable product labels or environmental impact data, can connect with environmentally conscious audiences.
  • Seasonal or event-based targeting and dynamic design
    Automatically adjust campaigns to reflect seasonal themes (Black Friday, Christmas, summer) or specific events, aligning colors, messages and products in real time. It is also possible to adapt dynamic layouts with dark-light mode options to optimize the visual experience according to user preferences or context.
  • Dynamic multi-format for omnichannel
    Create layouts that automatically adapt to different platforms, such as Stories, carousels or main feed, ensuring that the catalog is presented effectively in each space. This includes the ability to combine multiple products in a single ad or show different perspectives of the same product in interactive carousels.
  • Automated A/B testing in dynamics
    With today's technologies, it is possible to test variants of dynamic creatives in real time (colors, layouts, copy) to find the combinations that convert best.
  • Data-driven storytelling
    Combine behavioral data with catalog visuals to deliver messages that not only showcase products, but also highlight how they align with user needs.
  • Inclusion of predictive recommendations
    Incorporate machine learning-based products to predict what a user might want, beyond their browsing history, maximizing cross-selling and upselling opportunities.
  • Catalog dynamics for niche audiences
    Create dynamic campaign versions tailored to micro-segments, emphasizing exclusive products or features specific to different interests or communities.
  • Dynamic creative based on specific objectives
    From awareness to conversion, adjust dynamic designs to reflect specific funnel goals, such as highlighting benefits at the top or pricing and shipping at the bottom.

Creative trends in digital advertising for 2025, such as the integration of artificial intelligence, visual storytelling and immersive experiences, are taking campaigns to a new level. These innovations enable brands to connect more deeply with their audiences, optimizing results and standing out in a competitive environment.

With solutions like Adsmurai Marketing Platform, tools like Feeds and Creatives facilitate the implementation of these trends. These tools enable:

  • Dynamic transformation of catalogs into scalable ads, adapted to different formats and platforms.
