Video marketing remains the dominant format in 2026, but the way videos are produced, distributed, and consumed has radically changed with generative artificial intelligence and shoppable videos. Brands that master these new frontiers are reaping significant results.
Generative AI tools like Veo, Runway, and Sora have evolved to the point where any company can create high-quality videos in minutes, without the need for expensive equipment. This has democratized access to video marketing but has also raised the quality standard.
The big trend is shoppable videos — interactive videos that allow viewers to click on displayed products and purchase directly without leaving the platform. YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram already integrate this functionality, reducing friction between discovery and purchase.
With generative AI, it is possible to create different versions of the same video for different audiences. The conversion rate of personalized videos is up to 4x higher than that of generic versions.
To take advantage of these trends, start by defining which format best suits your audience. Invest in AI tools to optimize production and focus on telling real stories — authenticity is what truly connects.
