What the advancements will mean for marketers?
Meta’s latest earnings report shows that advertising across platforms like Facebook and Instagram is doing really well. Ad impressions went up by 6% at the end of the year, and the price for ads rose by 14%. But what’s catching a lot of attention right now is how Meta is using generative AI in advertising.
Generative AI tools—think AI that creates images, videos, and text—are becoming a big part of Meta’s advertising strategy. Over 4 million advertisers are already using at least one of these AI tools. This shows that more businesses are getting on board with AI to make ads that feel fresh and creative. (Source:

Mark Zuckerberg has said that 2025 will be a “defining” year for AI, as Meta continues to improve its systems and bring in new tech from competitors. The company is all in on making AI work for ads, and this could convince even more advertisers to give it a try.
Meta is also bringing ads to its new app, Threads, which is trying to compete with Twitter (now X). While Meta doesn’t expect Threads to make a huge impact on revenue next year, it’s clear that they’re setting it up for growth in the future.
In short, Meta’s betting big on AI to change the game for digital advertising. As the tools get better, more advertisers will likely jump in, making AI a bigger part of the marketing world in the years to come.
