WEBVTT 00:00.210 --> 00:03.934 Google updates Ads Editor, AI image generation runs amok, 00:03.934 --> 00:07.462 and Gen Z prefers diversity, on this week's 00:07.462 --> 00:09.920 Marketing Minute. 00:11.620 --> 00:15.025 First up, Google Ads Editor just launched version 2.6 with a 00:15.025 --> 00:18.147 pack of eight new features. This update is packed with 00:18.147 --> 00:21.041 tools to streamline workflows and improve campaign 00:21.041 --> 00:24.390 management. Marketers should take some time to familiarize 00:24.390 --> 00:27.795 themselves with these new features and explore how they can 00:27.795 --> 00:31.087 boost their advertising efficiency. Next Meta AI's recent 00:31.087 --> 00:34.436 work with creating ahistorical images, similar to Google's 00:34.436 --> 00:37.671 Gemini AI, highlights both the exciting possibilities and 00:37.671 --> 00:38.860 potential pitfalls of 00:38.860 --> 00:42.145 generative AI models. These tools can produce amazing 00:42.145 --> 00:45.316 results, but like any creative partner, AI needs human 00:45.316 --> 00:48.660 oversight. Marketers using AI for content creation should 00:48.660 --> 00:51.888 ensure proper quality control on the outputs, just like 00:51.888 --> 00:54.886 they would with a human designer. Finally, a recent 00:54.886 --> 00:58.114 Microsoft survey reveals a powerful consumer trend. The 00:58.114 --> 01:01.400 research shows that 70% of Gen Z customers trust brands 01:01.400 --> 01:04.859 more when they see diversity reflected in their advertising 01:04.859 --> 01:08.260 campaigns. This is a clear message for advertisers: 01:08.260 --> 01:09.080 ensure your ads and 01:09.080 --> 01:11.567 messaging are inclusive and resonate with your diverse 01:11.567 --> 01:14.100 audience. I hope this has given you some insights into 01:14.100 --> 01:16.541 what's trending in marketing this week. If you learned 01:16.541 --> 01:19.213 something, drop a like. If you found it valuable, share it 01:19.213 --> 01:21.930 with your network. For the Colling Media Marketing Minute, 01:21.930 --> 01:24.760 I'm Doug Campbell.
