AppLovin today released its second yearly report on Performance-Driven Ad Trends, in which it illuminates some of the most successful ad strategies and trends in 2023. According to the report, generative AI shows promise as a creative tool, while effective ad trends include genre-bending in mobile games, creative metaplay and gamification (even for products that aren’t video games).
Jessica Dolan, SparkLabs’ creative director, said in an interview with GamesBeat, “For SparkLabs, incorporating a variety of AI tools into our production workflow has been a game changer. And while these tools have greatly helped us become more efficient with creative concepting, asset generation, and video editing, a human perspective is still needed to determine what will connect with customers in an authentic way.”

Successful ad strategies of the last year
As part of its report, AppLovin also covers successful trends in ad campaigns from the last year. In 2023, these include “genre-bending,” or borrowing gameplay mechanics from other genres to create new material for one’s own game. AppLovin also found that gamification in ads drove higher engagement even in ads for non-game products.
