Meta’s Game-Changing Generative AI Ad Tools Unveiled – A Must-Read for Marketers

Meta has been talking about Advantage+ Creative for a while now (and pushing it on us), but it looks like it may finally be usable by end of year. Meta just published their GenAI progress following Cannes Lions 2025 and it’s going to tangibly impact the way we advertise there.

It’s no secret: Meta has been offering up to $100M signing bonuses to snag AI talent from OpenAI and DeepMind. This is Meta doubling down on generative AI for ad creativity, and it’s a big deal!

Why is Meta’s Generative AI Push a Game-Changer for Marketers and Investors?

Meta, with its massive 3.43 billion active users, is diving headfirst into the $600B digital ad market with AI that’s set to redefine the ad creative game for advertisers & ad experience game for consumers. These new generative AI ad tools, rolling out by year-end 2025, are a marketer’s dream for scaling creativity and an investor’s signal for $META ( ▲ 0.76% )  stock growth.

🔑 Let’s unpack the six new standout features:

1. Generative AI Image Creative That Stays On-Brand

Meta’s kicking things off with a gem—upload your brand kit (logos, colors, fonts, visual styles), and watch AI whip up fresh image assets that finally align with your brand identity. No more cookie-cutter stock photos!

2. Persona-Based Text Generation for Targeted Ad Copy

Meta’s AI can now craft ad copy tailored to specific personas like health nuts, busy pros, or frazzled parents. It’s what we’ve been doing manually, but now it’s automated and pretty spot-on.

3. Video Generation from Multiple Images

No budget for a video crew? No problem! Meta’s AI turns still images into multi-scene videos with text and audio - perfect for brands wanting to level up without breaking the bank.

This is something that a creative strategist and digital designer would have had to both collaborate on in the old days. This doesn’t replace the need for either, but in order to scale volume of creative, these will absolutely have a place in your creative testing campaigns.

4. Video Highlights for Better Engagement

Social media users have the attention span of a baby, and Meta is addressing it! Video Highlights will surface clickable thumbnails for key moments in the video that users can visualize and jump to, rather than sit through a whole 45 seconds to get to the part that would most interest them - similar to podcast timestamps that you can jump to.

This is game-changing for ad performance.

5. Business AI for FAQs and Customer Support

Customers can now see FAQs and even ask questions to Meta AI about products right in the ad. This means less website support hassle for brands to deal with and ultimately higher conversion rate.

6. Creative CTA Stickers for Higher CTR

Last but not least, customizable CTA stickers are here to make ads pop. Brands can craft unique designs to drive clicks, potentially skyrocketing CTR.

Meta’s $50B AI R&D budget is being put to good use. This 2025 roadmap positions it as THE leader in ad platform native GenAI ad creative, and it isn’t close.

Another AI ad creative company to keep an eye out for? Icon.

They’re currently the leader in GenAI powered ad creative and redefining what’s possible for brands and performance marketers. Automated creative generation from competitor inspo, market research, and historical ad performance data is now possible.

Between Meta’s native GenAI tools and 3rd party tools like Icon, advertisers will be able to achieve Meta's biggest goal thanks to Andromeda: to increase creative volume in campaigns. These developments are highly bullish for ad spend on $META ( ▲ 0.76% ).
