Until recently, many people approached TikTok Ads with the same approach they used for Facebook or YouTube. Neat design, balanced graphics, corporate colors, perfectly matched fonts. Formally, everything is correct. But in the TikTok feed, such creatives often disappear in seconds, without even having time to convey the message. The problem is not with the algorithms or “poor presentation.” The problem is that TikTok reads videos differently. For the platform, it is not important how beautifully the video is designed, but whether it fits into the rhythm of the feed, whether it is convenient to watch on a phone, and whether it looks out of place among the usual content. TikTok does not have official lists of allowed colors or correct fonts. Instead, the platform constantly hints at how it evaluates creatives. Through format, dynamics, readability, and the first seconds...

I want to say, “A few years ago, everything was simpler.” You could launch bright advertising creatives, make a conditionally “working” landing page, and the combination would work for months. However, time and technology do not stand still, and Meta, TikTok, and Google have significantly tightened their control. Now platforms evaluate not individual elements, but the entire system as a whole: advertising creatives, texts, user behavior, and the landing page itself. That is why today you can increasingly hear the phrase “landing pages don't work” or “the platform is stifling spending.” In fact, in most cases, the problem is not with the platform, but with the fact that old approaches no longer pass algorithm filters. In this article, we will analyze what advertising creatives and landing pages should be like in the new reality, why video creatives have become a...

UGC 2.0 in 2026 promises to shake up the content market! A logical evolution of UGC content is expected, with an emphasis on authentic videos and photos shot “on the fly” that generate trust and sales. This approach fits perfectly with social media trends, where audiences are tired of glossy advertising and want real reviews and honest impressions of products/services. So if the camera shakes a little, the lighting isn't perfect, but the video conveys genuine emotions — that's okay in some cases. Let's discuss further in which cases! What is UGC 2.0: The evolution of trends First and foremost, UGC is user-generated content created not by a brand, but by people: reviews, stories with tags, video reviews. UGC 2.0 in 2026 adds more vitality and is acceptable in a “knee-jerk” atmosphere: short videos from a phone, without filters, sometimes...

In 2026, mobile advertising no longer needs to prove its effectiveness; it has become the foundation of the digital market. Analytical reviews by Business of Apps clearly show that most content consumption occurs on mobile devices, and advertisers' attention is shifting there as well. A smartphone is not “just another screen,” but the main point of contact between the user and the brand, where people watch videos, read news, play games, shop, and make decisions. Because of this, mobile advertising is no longer a separate area within marketing. For brands, it is becoming the foundation of their digital strategy. AVOW materials repeatedly emphasize that mobile formats are no longer used “for testing” or as an addition to desktop campaigns. On the contrary, it is mobile scenarios that are now driving the logic of reach, engagement, and scaling. Everything else is...

Today, metrics no longer directly reflect reality. In a world of automation and incomplete data, they are increasingly an interpretation rather than a fact. It is this shift that gives rise to a new understanding of what metrics will be in 2026. Advertisers are no longer saved by “good numbers” 2025 brought a new norm. Reports look perfect, but business results are not so great. Green indicators, flat graphs, “everything is OK” in the offices, and at the same time, the feeling that something is not working as it should. And it's not about bad settings or the wrong contractor. It's just that the numbers no longer directly reflect reality. Marketing metrics increasingly mean “well calculated” rather than “that's how it was.” A significant portion of the results are not facts, but estimates, reconstructions, or simulations. The advertiser finds themselves...

You scroll through your feed and suddenly you see a virtual influencer. He has millions of followers, collaborations with top brands, and he responds to comments almost 24/7. It sounds like fiction, but it's already reality. Artificially created characters, AI influencers and brand bots, are no longer just a joke and are gradually entering the mainstream. And by 2026, they will not only complement the work of people, but in some cases may even lead advertising campaigns. Data from the Famesters agency confirms the trend: 48.7% of marketers are already using AI in their influencer campaigns, and 62.9% plan to connect AI in the near future. Global AI marketing revenues in 2024 reached $36 billion, and are predicted to exceed $100 billion by 2028. So brands are clearly betting on algorithms that can create emotions. In this article, we will...

In PR, there is no "undo" button. One phrase said in the wrong tone, one unverified figure, one nuance that "wasn't clarified in time," and you're already getting a call from the CEO, a journalist, or a lawyer. Or, worse, from all three at once. This is the reality that every novice PR specialist faces. Not because they are bad at their job, but simply because mistakes are costly in this line of work, and speed sometimes trumps common sense. That's why professionals always have their "pre-publication ritual": a short but strict checklist that takes three minutes but saves weeks of stress. In editorial offices, it's called "insurance." In PR departments, they call it "armor." For beginners, it can be the most cost-effective way to avoid damaging their reputation from the outset. Clarity of the message: is it clear from...

LinkedIn in 2025 is no longer just a social network for finding a job. It is a full-fledged market for attention, where everyone is fighting for a place in the feed: recruiters for candidates, marketers for leads, CEOs for recognition and trust. Competition has grown to the point where even good content can “fly by” the audience. The algorithm has become tougher and now coldly evaluates each publication: content is above all, reactions in the first minutes are critical, and empty posts do not get a second chance. In a world where thousands of the same thoughts and “wisdom” appear every day, authors return to the basic question: what works better in 2025, short posts or carousels? And this is where the most interesting part begins. How does the LinkedIn algorithm work now? The LinkedIn algorithm in 2025 stopped being...
