The Future of Ads and Improving Your Social Media Game

AI

What does the future look like for ads?

We’ve seen the power of the likes of ChatGPT on copywriting, but now with the latest updates from Meta and Google we will soon be seeing generative AI for ad creation. This could be a game-changer for the future of ads.

Plans for the tools involve simply dropping in your landing page, writing a short description of your product or service, and letting AI do the rest.

But like all the other hype-cycles surrounding generative AI, are we convinced?

Alina, our Paid Marketing Executive, has given us her opinions on the latest advances in the technology for ad creation and her top tips on how you can optimise on this:

“Ad-creation AI tools are an exciting development for paid social marketers. The positive impacts of streamlined processes and time-saving, performance-boosting ad creation can really change the game. However, brands need to keep their personality at the forefront of campaigns to build a strong, loyal community – make sure this doesn’t get lost in the world of AI.”

What’s interesting here is that Lemon8 is owned by Bytedance, the mutual owners of TikTok. Can we take this as the company’s solution to the potential TikTok ban?

The platform has already reached the top 10 for app downloads, with many influencers already jumping on the trend.
