WELCOME 2025

Welcome to 2025, where London continues to be a hub of creativity and innovation! As a leading creative agency, Soho Pixels is at the forefront of media evolution. Below, we explore five key trends transforming content creation, photography, branding, and digital marketing this year, with our expert insights on how businesses can leverage these trends to stay ahead.

1. AI-Driven Creativity: Merging Technology with Art

AI tools like generative design and automated editing are revolutionising the creative process. From personalised video content to AI-enhanced photography, brands are using artificial intelligence to produce stunning visuals at scale.

Our Take: While AI enhances efficiency, creativity remains distinctly human. At Soho Pixels, we use AI to complement—not replace—our creative instincts, ensuring every project retains its unique touch.

2. The Rise of Short-Form Video

With platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels dominating the digital space, short-form video continues to drive engagement. These bite-sized clips allow brands to connect with audiences in creative, memorable ways.

Our Take: Short-form storytelling is an art. We specialise in crafting videos that capture attention within the first few seconds, balancing entertainment with a strong brand message.

3. Authenticity as the New Luxury

Consumers crave real, unpolished content. Authentic storytelling—using relatable imagery, diverse voices, and candid moments—builds trust and resonates with audiences in a way glossy campaigns often cannot.

Our Take: At Soho Pixels, we embrace authenticity by collaborating with brands to tell genuine stories that reflect their core values. Whether through lifestyle photography or documentary-style videos, we capture the real moments that matter.

4. Sustainability in Visual Branding

As environmental consciousness grows, brands are rethinking how they present themselves visually. From green-focused campaigns to eco-friendly production practices, sustainability is shaping creative decisions.

Our Take: We’re proud to incorporate sustainable practices into our projects, such as using energy-efficient equipment and partnering with eco-conscious vendors. Let’s create beautiful visuals while being kind to the planet.

5. The Power of Immersive Experiences

AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) are no longer the future—they’re the now. Brands are leveraging these technologies to create interactive, immersive experiences that captivate audiences and redefine engagement.

Our Take: Soho Pixels is exploring ways to incorporate AR and VR into visual storytelling, from interactive product launches to virtual event coverage. These tools allow us to push creative boundaries and connect with audiences in extraordinary ways.

THE FUTURE OF INFLUENCING

Influencers are still a new concept for most traditional brands as part of a campaign. A big name movie star or sporting legend normally gets banded about in creative meetings, or indeed by the brand themselves. Trying to pitch reality TV stars is still not fully appreciated by some bigger brands, though becoming a little more popular as the influencing power they possess grows. 

So how easy do you think it is to convince a brand to use an influencer who’s made their name solely on one of the social media platforms? What if we said the influencer wasn’t even human, but an Artificial Intelligent, or AI, influencer? Would you be convinced?

Meet Miquela Sousa, aka Lil Miquela, a 19-year-old singer (yes she has songs on iTunes), ‘It girl’ and social media influencer from California, with 1.3 million followers on Instagram (@lilmiquela). Sporting a space bun hairstyle with a micro fringe and doused with pretty freckles, she wears clothes by the likes of big clothing brands like Supreme and Chanel. Even the likes of Prada invited her to take over its Instagram account during one of its Milan shows and she has appeared on the cover of magazines such as Wonderland and V Magazine. 

Miquela frequently posts across her Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr accounts, and Time magazine named her as one of 2018’s 25 most influential people on the internet and she doesn’t even exist. Miquela is a CGI creation who lives in a virtual universe, which resembles our own world. Miquela isn’t the only one though, she’s at the forefront of a new wave of AI influencers.

She was created by LA start-up, Brud, in 2016 with many followers not even reading that she wasn’t real, but her capacity to rake in the cash via endorsement deals and brand collaborations is vast, even better than some household Hollywood stars and musicians.

With this power pull continuing, coupled with the ability to fully control the influencer for brand alignment and suitability, just how far can this go? I guess the real question may be, how far is the consuming public willing to be dictated to by a CGI/AI creation?

Suddenly all the futuristic movies of old don’t seem so, well, futuristic. The future of influencing lives now, in our present. How soon will you be willing to include an AI influencer on a future campaign?
