Imagine an ad playing on an endless loop—a short narrative crafted to seamlessly, infinitely repeat. Taken at face value, that’s the stuff of nightmares.

At least, that’s what some of the marketers who see the use of GIFs as ads as a growing creative trend believe.
“Clever marketers are creating GIFs to help consumers express themselves through these humorous, snackable videos which make them a shareable utility versus an ad,” explained Quynh Mai, founder of digital shop Moving Image and Content.
