Ads are often disliked, but that’s a situational thing, ads might be avoided universally, but that does not negate their effectiveness. They are a huge part of society and will continue to be so, going forward. In 2022, businesses, brands, and society, in general, will experience accelerated and high levels of digitisation and virtualisation drove by climate change and Covid-19. However, the demand for sustainability, ever-increasing data, and complicated computer networks, will reclaim their place as the primary drivers of digital transitions.

The last two years have changed drastically, fuelled by necessity and society continues to harness newfound openness to flexibility agility, and innovative thinking, especially as the focus shifts from merely attempting to survive but also thrive. So, let’s look at how tech trends are going to change advertising.

LIVE TARGETED ADS

There are enormous high-resolution panels that can be curved which creates a perception of a three-dimensional image. These are LED boards using virtual digital replacements technology which increases the versatility of the recording equipment, paired with AI. So, if you are watching anywhere in the world, the ads would be different.

A person sitting in India will have different ads shown, from the person in the US, even if it is a live event. This means the brand is able to advertise to a different set of individuals, sell one set of ads to many people or agencies at once, with the reassurance that these ads will be targeted to the viewers in that brand’s local market. It would be highly valuable for multiple types of advertising such as OOH advertising, BTL, or TTL advertising. Imagine these automated data-driven designs being used by BTL marketing agencies, they could target multiple locations at the same time which would provide much more powerful results for the brands.

ARTIFICIAL PEOPLE 

There is a website that uses neural networks to develop people that do not exist in real life. Every time it is refreshed, it is using two neural networks to fight against each other, learn from each other to develop a face, which has already solidified into artificial people with human-like mannerism, speaking, moving, and engaging like one. As the world moves online, the line between what’s real and what’s not will blur. In no time you would have artificial global agencies to manage their daily transactions. Imagine a global retail design agency using artificial people for their advertisements, to create a perfect being to connect to the target audience.

AERO MARKETING  

Aerial marketing is one of the most adored and popular forms of advertising because of its unique format and it draws the most attention. It is the real attention-getter.  Helicopters, gliders, and the new kid up in the sky ––drones.

For some time now, brands are deploying drones and now few brands are taking on that idea to new levels. They are making drones with sensing capabilities that recognise other aircrafts, work through route planning software, weather forecasting tools, and so on. Hence, aerial marketing can target heavy crowd areas, as well as visit, targeted places, like customers’ homes or offices.

These drones can deliver autonomous instant delivery of the product the customer need. The drone is launched into the air and flies autonomously out onto the delivery site. When it gets to its destination, it drops the package and goes back.

They can be used in conjunction to deliver a vibrant experience, as subtle persuasive advertising. Drones are like a mini version of airline marketing which is cost-effective and could fly anywhere. While bigger planes can be used to target bigger crowds through 3D billboards in the air.

The creation of such a responsive system that is able to track and provide information on what is going on, on the ground. Drones can provide laser focus data and that data could be used further by bigger systems and provide a better experience for the customers and great returns to the brands.

It can transform into something that can deliver products to any place instantly and enhance the way of living but also the way brands provide and serve their audience on a small as well as larger scale.

Hence this infrastructure, transformation will follow in industries like retail, transport materials, healthcare, airline industries to help access better facilities across towns, cities, and even nations in the near future.

SMART GLASSES  

These smart glasses can replace daily glasses and provide you with smart tech right into your lenses. These can be used to respond to texts messages, make phone calls, check the weather and connect with an AI assistant.

There are already glasses that can help people with visual impairment. The glasses could read the texts to the user and help them navigate through places. In no time there will be holograms being produced out of our glasses and we would be able to have 360 degrees of view of everything.

People could visit places through these holograms prior to being present there in that space. Furthermore, there are glasses that help you read books, watch favourite shows with projector-like technology. Brands can target such platforms to target their audience to the personal level and enjoy the returns.  Especially BTL advertising that runs on a targeted approach, brands can level up their advertising to a great level.

Some of the greatest brands are keeping eye on such innovations to level up their game and stand out from their competitors Data-driven designs are going big in 2022 and beyond. Imagine even headsets needs to be of different sizes to be fit and comfortable for everyone. It seems inconsequential, but it is in these small increments where grander growth happens. Given that we are zipping into the artificial realm. We are going to engage with digital tools more and more. And one sure way for any brand to be successful is to make their customer feel unique and special.
