  1. Due to Programmatic Advertising, Artificial Intelligence will Play a Significant Role 

Programmatic advertising integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically buy and sell ad space in real time. This helps businesses to save vast amounts of their time and reduce the cost per lead. In 2022, more than 90% of display ads were transacted programmatically. And this trend is here to flourish in 2023 as well. While the increase in programmatic advertising slowed down in 2022, marketers will spend more on programmatic ads by the end of the year and in 2023. 

The future of advertising will be AI-powered in 2023. It will employ the effectiveness of AI to promote operations with machine learning. This implies that brands will be able to create personalized ads for their consumers. Artificial intelligence (AI)will play a vital role in how brands reach out to their target audience and understand what consumers want and need. This will enable brands to identify the different preferences of their consumers for their products or services.

  1. Shorter Video Ads will Drive the Advertising Landscape 

If there's one king in the digital space right now, it's video. Video is likely to continue to be the most prominent digital marketing trend in 2023. 93% of marketers believe that video helps conversions better than any other content marketing format. And the popularity of video content is showing zero signs of slowing down.  

Another significant trend is that video ads are now getting shorter. More than 56% of video ads are now less than two minutes long. Marketers are now optimizing their video content for different platforms as users expect different lengths for their video content.  

Video marketing will still be an integral part of content marketing strategy for businesses. The expected runtime of video content for each platform is as follows: 

  • Instagram - 30 seconds 
  • Twitter - 15 seconds or less 
  • Facebook - 1 minute 
  • YouTube - 10 minutes
