Digital marketing is about to be transformed in 2025 with AI-driven avatars — hyper-real virtual influencers generated by sophisticated artificial intelligence. Those avatars are now also becoming brand ambassadors for some of the world’s largest companies, providing a consistency and scalability of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, engagement that the influencers themselves can’t compete with.
First for futurism: In fashion (where Lil Miquela’s in good company), in tech (relaunching a product on stage in May 2018, according to its creator, the Japanese magazine SvW ), and possibly screenwriting, among other things. They don’t make mistakes, they don’t miss deadlines, and they can be tuned to represent brand values exactly.
With increased consumer digital immersion and brand engagement as seamless as visualizing a product and purchasing it, there's no longer any overarching excuse to fall back on.
