Some things are just too good to be true and so perfect that they’re almost unreal—kind of like virtual influencers.
They’re really here, but they’re not real.
Virtual influencers are fictional, computer-generated characters with an online presence. Typically, these personalities are designed to connect with audiences and influence their purchasing decisions.
With their stories being designed to perfection, they’re virtually capable of attAIning anything. And now, we’re going to stop with the puns and show you who the top 20 virtual influencers are.
Warning: Computer graphic content ahead (okay, now we’ll stop with the puns.)

This virtual influencer is a friendly alien with a bunch of talents that are out of this world (we’re pretty sure that’s why he’s called “Astro.”)

This 19-year-old Brazilian-American robot living in LA is quite the celebrity—more than 2.8 million people are following her adventures!

Oh what we’d give to be at least half as stylish as Noonoouri is.
In addition to working with the biggest fashion brands—such as Jacquemus, Dior, Off-White, and so much more—this virtual influencer never fails to advocate for important causes such as social good and sustainability.
Say “hola” to Mexico’s first virtual influencer, Maria!

Are you aiming to increase web traffic or grow your social media presence? Figure out why you’re leveraging paid media in the first place and build your strategy from there. Having clearly defined goals in mind will help you focus on your brand’s key priorities.
Designing strategies that cater to all three stages of the buyer journey ensures that you’re maximizing your brand’s reach. Every user at every stage is valuable—and you have to make sure you’re creating paid media content that speaks to each audience type.
Effective paid media is tied to targeting the right keywords. If you’re leveraging paid search ads to appear on SERPs (search engine results pages), then in-depth research is necessary. Bid on the keywords that are most relevant to your business to trigger only the most effective ad appearances.
Gather your team—because it’s time to start coming up with ad copy that wins attention. The key is to resonate with your audience and inspire engagement. Be real. Be relatable. And most importantly, don’t underestimate the power of creativity.
Do the landing pages on your website effectively push visitors further down the sales funnel? If not, you’re letting potential customers slip through your fingers. Optimize each of your landing pages so that they nudge users towards converting.
The options are plenty when it comes to paid advertising, including Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Pinterest among others. Analyze who your target demographic is, research where it’s best to connect with them, and then target the platforms where you wish to build awareness.
If you’re ready to build your paid media ad campaign, you’ll find that it will be further broken down into “ad groups” to ensure more effective pay-per-click advertising. These ad groups house one or more ads that have similar targets or categories. Let’s say your brand’s website features categories such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. Creating ad groups according to keywords that fall under these categories will help the PPC system decide when to show ads for these products.
Retargeting ads are bound to succeed because it’s a second shot at a conversion. Visitors have shown interest in the product/service once before, and sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to push them to the checkout page. So don’t forget to retarget and aim better this time.
In the world of paid media, what works and what doesn’t? You’ll have to run A/B tests to find out! Whether you’re testing which keywords bring more traffic or which social platforms earn more ad engagement, you won’t find out what really works for your brand until you test it.
Revisit your initial goals. Did your efforts bring about the results you expected? Tracking results is an essential step in your brand’s paid advertising campaigns. The data you collect from currently running ads will help lay the foundation for your future campaigns.
After tracking your results, you’ll be able to see where adjustments are necessary. There’s always room for improvement, so keep striving to consistently resonate and build trust with your audience—it’s how to create paid ads that pay off.
