International Journal of Advertising - Special Issue
¡°The Future of Advertising¡±
The future of advertising is evolving rapidly as new types of media redefine message contents, timing, locations,
and audiences.
Forecasters expect that advertisers will spend more than $400 billion on digital advertising by 2022. Marketers
conventionally applied demographics to segment highly fragmented populations into sub-target groups, but
advertisers are now using hyper-personalized algorithms to reach consumers across the web and in mobile apps.
Measures of advertising campaign effectiveness will go beyond simple success/failure outcomes. Instead, marketers
will be using AI, VR, and AR technologies to collect biometric data, recognize faces and voices, and provide
immersive, continous, interpersonal sensory and emotional experiences.
How should marketers use the new technologies to reach and engage with future generations? How will future
consumers process advertising messages placed in various platforms? How will the new environment change
communication dynamics between buyers and sellers?
In this special issue, we will feature some of the latest works examining the future of advertising. We particularly
welcome papers combining theory and practice to offer new perspectives that may help academics, practitioners,
and policymakers better understand and apply advertising research.

Social media and digital advertising (e.g., Google ads).
Native advertising
Programmatic advertising
Artificial intelligence (AI) in advertising
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)
