Ad Trends for 2020 vs 2019

"Ad Trends 2020 vs 2019?" infographic

Leading up to 2019, a simple ad used for the various platforms, routinely looked the same. The headline above, smaller tagline, with huge CTA bottom right or left. Then, the "pièce de résistance", the stock photo background to show just how lazy, I mean professional you actually are.  Well, the Trend in 2020 is the same in regards to the headline, tagline and call to action, but the pointless stock photo background had given way to the pastel gradient, and pointless lines and random illustrations. Trading pointless stock photo for pointless shapes and blobs. The only benefit I see is the viewer may just read your message instead of wondering where they've seen that generic hand holding a phone before. 😋

Hey, it's Rich Keller from Richkeller.com. Let's talk about something I see all the time, and it drives me absolutely bonkers: small business owners spending an absolute fortune on digital marketing simply because they don't know where to start. I’m talking about $10,000 agency retainers, $500 blog posts, and hiring a 'social media expert' who's really just a college student with a TikTok addiction. Listen up: that era is over. I’m here to tell you that the power you need to run your digital marketing is sitting right at your fingertips, and it’s called AI . Specifically, a tool like Gemini can become your new, inexpensive, and unbelievably effective marketing assistant.
