Advertising creativity is the process of generating new ideas and innovative concepts to develop advertising and promotional campaigns that attract public attention and generate impact on society. Advertising creativity is fundamental to achieve effective communication between the brand and its consumers, and to differentiate it from the competition.

Advertising creativity can manifest itself in many ways, from a witty TV commercial to a promotional content strategy on social networks. In general, the aim is to generate an impactful and effective message that connects with the target audience and increases the visibility and reputation of the brand.

Advertising creativity can be understood as the process and techniques necessary to create innovative and effective advertising messages from an artistic and communication point of view.
