Furthermore, a survey indicates that 82% of respondents plan to allocate budgets for influencer marketing in 2023, showing growth from the 77% reported in 2022. Thus, the burgeoning preference for influencer marketing is expected to be a key driver propelling the advertising agency market.

This AI-powered advertising testing tool is specifically tailored for digital advertising formats. Utilizing predictive analytics, Link AI for Digital assesses the anticipated in-market performance of digital advertisements.

Leveraging data from audio, long-form content, and YouTube shorts, Google AI curates a lineup of trending songs among 18- to 24-year-olds.
