Dentsu’s 2025 Media Trends report highlights the transformative role of AI, algorithms, and evolving consumer engagement in shaping the future media landscape. The report introduces the “Algorithmic Era,” where generative AI and personalization will revolutionize how brands engage with audiences, making media fully addressable, shoppable, and accountable. Key trends include the rise of AI-driven micro-moments that allow brands to build deeper connections with consumers and the need for marketers to adopt new media strategies to capture these moments. As AI becomes more ingrained in daily life, it will significantly enhance media planning, audience targeting, and real-time optimizations across the media value chain.
Storytelling and content quality are also emphasized as essential tools for cutting through the increasing dominance of algorithms. Brands will need to create high-impact narratives and lean into niche audiences to capture attention. The rise of connected television advertising and the growing demand for premium content present new opportunities for media investments. In addition, the report stresses the importance of hyper-localized strategies, with technology and media consumption evolving differently across regions. By partnering with local media experts, brands can ensure that global campaigns resonate on a local level, driving both engagement and long-term growth.
