Summer_Video_Ads

Summer 2025 isn’t just heating up, it’s on fire. And it’s not the weather we’re talking about. It’s the scroll-stopping video ads taking over every platform.

Attention is the most valuable currency today. But in a digital landscape oversaturated with content, only brands that lead, not follow, will make an impact.

At kovald, we don’t just produce videos. We create strategic visual experiences that spark engagement, drive action, and leave a lasting impression.

Here are the Top 5 Video Trends your brand needs to own this summer:

Short, Vertical, Relentless

The 9:16 format is no longer optional, it’s the standard.
Audiences consume almost exclusively on mobile, expecting fast, frictionless content.

Short-form videos (under 15 seconds) are today’s attention magnets. The formula:

  • Grab attention in the first 3 seconds
  • Deliver a clear, focused message
  • End with a strong call to action

If your message doesn’t land fast, your audience scrolls past. Period.

AI-Powered Video That Thinks Like a Marketer, Creates Like a Creative

AI in 2025 isn’t just for speed, it’s for strategy. Today’s AI helps brands tell smarter stories by:

  • Personalizing content by audience segment
  • Running live A/B tests within a single video
  • Generating performance-optimized variants in real time

A university student and a working mom shouldn’t see the same ad. With kovald, they won’t.

Lo-Fi Content, High-Trust Results

Audiences are no longer impressed by glossy perfection. They crave authenticity, spontaneity, and emotion.

Lo-fi videos—shot on phones, in natural light, with unscripted reactions outperform highly produced campaigns by far.

In today’s landscape, “polished” can feel fake. Real feels relatable and relatable converts.

Hyperlocal Targeting: Talk Like You Know Them—Because You Do

Mass messaging is over. Today’s winning videos speak directly and contextually.

“37°C in Thessaloniki? You’ll need this SPF.” That’s the tone that earns clicks.

With geo-targeting and behavioral data, we help brands craft video content that feels personal, not generic relevant, not random.

Shoppable Video: The New Checkout Experience

Your audience doesn’t want to browse. They want to tap, watch, and buy, without ever leaving the video.

Shoppable video ads:

  • Embed clickable product tags
  • Seamlessly integrate purchase CTAs
  • Shorten the path from inspiration to conversion

This isn’t just content. It’s a storefront disguised as a story.

FAQ

How much does it actually cost to create a video ad like the ones you describe?

The cost isn’t just a number — it’s a formula that balances objective, duration, platform, and production style.
A short-form, lo-fi vertical video can start at a few hundred euros, especially if the focus is speed and authenticity.
But if we’re talking about AI-driven storytelling with dynamic personalization, smart CTAs, and multi-platform delivery, then we’re looking at custom strategies with flexible budgets.
At kovald, we work with budgets that start realistically and scale up to remarkably — always aiming not to cost you, but to grow you.

How soon will I see results from a video ad?

If your video is targeted properly and speaks the audience’s language, you’ll start seeing performance signals within the first 72 hours — think engagement, scroll depth, CTR, and initial conversions.
But the real results happen when the video starts to “learn.” That’s where data-driven optimization comes in.
Within 2–4 weeks, we can pinpoint what’s working, who’s responding, and what needs fine-tuning.
A video ad isn’t a firework — it’s a rhythm. And results don’t come from luck — they come from iteration.

How do I know which trend fits my brand?

You don’t pick a trend — you pick a purpose.
If your brand speaks to a young, fast-paced audience, then short & vertical is your native language.
If your product has multiple storylines or audiences, AI-driven personalization will supercharge your reach.
If your tone is “real,” grounded, and community-based, then lo-fi creative is the most genuine way to connect.
At kovald, we start with a workshop — not a camera. We first understand your voice and your audience — and only then do we wrap the message in the right format.
Because trends change. Strategy, however, must endure.
