Short-form video is dominating now, but how can smaller brands compete with major players on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels?

Thank you, Laura! We couldn’t agree more—AI and personalization are revolutionizing how brands connect with audiences. The key is using these tools ethically to enhance user experience rather than overwhelm them.

Great question, Derek! Smaller brands can thrive by focusing on authenticity and UGC (user-generated content). Audiences connect more with relatable content rather than polished corporate ads. Leaning into trends and engaging with the community can level the playing field!

I love the idea of immersive advertising, but do you think AR/VR ads will be widely adopted in 2025 or are we still years away from mainstream adoption

Good question, James! First-party data collection, contextual advertising, and zero-party data (where users willingly share preferences) are key solutions. Google’s Privacy Sandbox and server-side tracking are also gaining traction as alternatives.
