VFX is on the rise: According to the latest VEX Report, global ad spend on VFX is projected to hit $3.04 billion in 2025, up from $2.8 billion last year. It proves that brands are increasingly investing in high-impact visuals to break through the noise. From photoreal animation to real-time rendering, this shift creates more space (and budget!) for FOOH ideas that blend fiction and reality — especially on social.
A first in 3D advertising: The world’s first 3D hologram truck just hit the streets of Vegas — no screen, no glasses, just floating visuals on wheels.
As experimental ads like this emerge, it’s opening new directions for what formats like FOOH can look like, change to and ultimately grow into.
