YouTube在Cannes Lions 2025上宣布推出open call功能,这是YouTube BrandConnect的一部分,旨在帮助品牌更高效地发现和合作创作者。品牌可以在创作者合作中心发布公开征集,同时联系多位YouTube合作伙伴计划中的创作者。
具体流程包括:品牌发布创意简报,明确活动细节;创作者主动响应并提交视频内容;品牌审核通过后,创作者视频将作为合作广告进行推广,并可以衡量投放效果。这为品牌提供了规模化利用创作者影响力进行用户获取和增量提效的机会。
open call功能让不同规模的创作者都有机会与品牌建立新合作,品牌则能借助创作者的真实性和信任度优化YouTube上的社交策略。目前该功能仅对部分广告主开放,更多细节将在未来几个月公布。
Babbel runs 50+ monthly influencer partnerships in-house, achieving fast ROI on Instagram Stories (24-48 hours) and long-tail conversions on YouTube. Nano-creators (under 10K followers) provide cost-effective content for paid amplification. Authentic personal stories outperform polished ads. A viral campaign transformed their pipeline, with creators now proactively seeking partnerships. A lean test-and-scale framework avoids wasted spend, with ROI as the key metric.
Meta launches AI-powered creator discovery and content recommendations for Instagram's Creator Marketplace. Key updates include AI-driven suggestions for top-performing branded content in Ads Manager's Partnership Ads Hub, improved creator matching via affinity-based recommendations and keyword search, and new insights like playable Reels, email contact, partnership badges, and active ad visibility. These tools aim to simplify creator partnerships, enhance ad performance, and drive sales, with 53% of consumers more likely to purchase after creator promotion on Reels and US influencer spend projected over $10B by 2025.
Meta is testing Reels trending ads, allowing brands to run ads after popular creator Reels with brand safety controls. New tools like Trends in Creator Marketplace and a Discovery API help businesses find real-time cultural insights and scale creator partnerships. Ad formats expand with partnership ads featuring one header partner, Facebook Live Partnership ads, and Threads video ads. Video Expansion on Facebook Reels uses AI to optimize video aspect ratios for better performance.
Instant Hydration scaled Meta spend in under 18 months by letting creative variety, not manual targeting, drive audience discovery. The brand diversified creators, ran Partnership Ads under brand and creator handles, and used AI to tailor briefs to creator audience themes. It runs Advantage+ broad targeting and automated placements, intervening manually only for lifecycle exclusions and brand-safe creative. Incremental attribution delivered ~35% more net-new visits and revived “burned out” creative. Takeaway for ad ops: automate delivery, own creative strategy, use incremental measurement, and extend creator-led systems across DTC and retail.
Meta is globally launching Creator Marketing Hub and expanding creator APIs, AI agent access, and Instagram Live Video Ads. For ad ops leaders, this signals fewer workflow gaps between creator discovery, permissions, messaging, and Partnership Ads activation. The Hub adds product/affiliate discovery filters, content-level permissions with expiry, one-click ad drafting, objective recommendations, and ad-readiness editing like removing copyrighted music or stickers. API updates and Meta Ads MCP connector let teams manage creator campaigns in existing tools, while AI agents automate outreach. With creator recommendations influencing 45% of purchases and $37B in creator ad spend growing 4x faster than media, operationalizing creator partnerships is now a priority.
TikTok and System1 research shows creative fatigue diminishes ad effectiveness, but entertaining, emotionally-driven content sustains impact. Key insights: first impressions define success; joy/humor reduce fatigue; early branding boosts recognition and happiness. Creativity outperforms frequency—50% of campaign success relies on creative quality. Brands should iterate core concepts, use early branding, and prioritize emotion to achieve 1.7x higher recall and 2.9x higher association lift. TikTok's tools (TikTok One, Symphony) help scale creative production efficiently.
LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini are reshaping mobile app discovery, with traditional search volume expected to decline 25% by 2026. These AI platforms act as answer engines, delivering direct app recommendations to users. For ad ops, this shift requires optimizing for LLM visibility through structured content and reputation management. While native ad formats are in early testing on platforms like Perplexity and Gemini, early adoption can secure high-intent placements. Marketers should track AI-driven traffic and align discovery strategies across ASO, SEO, and LLMs to stay competitive in an AI-first environment.
Messaging Ads on TikTok enable real-time conversations between businesses and customers via Direct Message or third-party apps like WhatsApp and Messenger. Benefits include shorter conversion paths, immediate lead qualification, and enhanced customer experience. Best practices include using Smart+ automation, replying within three minutes, and aligning creative with CTAs. Key results show up to 67% lower cost per conversation and conversion rates up to 22.5%. Available in select markets, these ads help drive measurable business outcomes.
