By 2024, AI algorithms will continue to evolve to deliver highly personalized content and product recommendations in real-time, enhancing customer experiences and driving conversions. As text to image and text to video become more sophisticated it will change the role of the creatives as well.

Strategies that cater to conversational queries and long-tail keywords may become essential.

Companies that emphasize sustainability, ethical practices, and social responsibility in their marketing campaigns may see increased consumer trust and loyalty. This trend is expected to continue in 2024.
