Introduction The Future of Advertising Has Arrived
Video has always been the king of content.
But now, it has a new crown AI video ads.
Powered by advanced tools like Sora, Kling, Google Veo 3, HeyGen, and Eleven Labs, AI has made it possible for brands to produce ad creatives that once required full production teams at a fraction of the time and cost.
At Spinta Digital, we’ve built entire ad ecosystems using AI-generated videos that outperform traditional campaigns.
This guide will show you how AI video ads work, why they’re outperforming traditional creatives, and how your business can start using them today.
What Are AI Video Ads?
AI video ads are marketing videos generated or enhanced through artificial intelligence.
They can include:
- Text-to-video generation
- AI avatars or virtual actors
- Synthetic voiceovers
- Automated editing and resizing
- Dynamic personalisation for each audience segment
Instead of long shoots, scripts, and expensive editing suites, AI tools create full ad videos from text prompts or structured brand assets.
The result?
Videos that look professional, adapt in real-time, and convert audiences faster.

Using Eleven Labs and HeyGen, we generate lifelike voices and avatars that mirror human delivery perfect for storytelling or demo-style ads.
Visual Generation
Tools like Sora, Kling, and Google Veo 3 bring the visuals to life.
