AI Advertising in Spain

AI advertising in Spain means using artificial intelligence in a controlled way at every stage of advertising: creative production, translation and voiceovers, campaign automation and assistants that handle incoming leads. I build AI tools and AI video production pipelines myself; I've been managing ads with Gizli Medya since 2009, I'm one of the co-founders of Digitalent Inc., and I live in Spain.

AI in advertising isn't new to me. In 2017 I worked on "Bir Başka Şiir", the AI-powered campaign by Ford Otosan and İlhan Şeşen featured at the MIXX Awards. The tools have changed a lot since then, but the principle hasn't: AI speeds up the idea, and people make the call.

For other AI projects I've developed in Spain, see the AI projects in Spain page, and for the overall campaign framework, the digital marketing in Spain page.

Who is it for? Brands that want to produce many ad versions quickly for a multilingual audience, businesses that need regular content on a limited production budget, service companies that want to handle ad leads around the clock, and teams that have tried Google and Meta's automated campaigns but feel they've lost control.

What I Do

Creative variations
I produce different image, copy and video versions from a single idea and test which one works.
Spanish and Catalan voiceovers
I adapt ads to local languages with AI voiceovers and translation, and do the final check with a native speaker.
Performance Max
I set up Google's campaign type that reaches Search, YouTube, Display, Discover, Gmail and Maps with a single campaign.
Advantage+ campaigns
I feed Meta's AI-driven campaigns, which manage budget, placements and audiences, with the right data.
Lead-capturing AI assistants
I set up assistants on your website and messaging channels that answer questions and capture leads.
AI video production
I produce short ad videos and vertical versions using a production pipeline I built myself.
AI advertising ethics in Spain
I keep the use of synthetic content transparent and avoid impersonating real people or using misleading imagery.

Where I use AI in AI advertising in Spain

AI works in two different places in advertising: in the tools you control (creative, translation, assistants) and inside the ad platforms themselves (automated campaigns). Both need to be managed deliberately.

Creative production and variation

From a single ad idea I can produce dozens of headlines, visual compositions and short video versions. This speeds up testing: we see which message works better with Spanish audiences and which with Turkish audiences in days instead of weeks. Still, every output passes through human hands; content that's off-brand, flawed or looks artificial never goes live.

Translation and voiceover

AI voiceovers and translation make it possible to move an ad into Spanish and Catalan versions quickly. But machine translation can miss local idioms and tone. That's why I always check the final script and audio with a native speaker. For work that needs a real face and a real location, I recommend video shoots in Spain with local crews instead of AI.

The platforms' own AI

Automation is powerful when measurement is right. If cookie consent and conversion tracking are missing, the AI learns from the wrong signals. That's why I set up measurement first.

Lead-capturing assistants

When a visitor coming from an ad asks a question, they should get an answer even at midnight. I set up AI assistants on your website or messaging channels that answer questions about pricing, appointments and services and pass the lead on to your team. Users are clearly told that the assistant is an AI, and personal data is processed in line with cookie and privacy rules.

Ethics and transparency

The transparency provisions of the European Union AI Act have applied since August 2, 2026: realistic synthetic images, audio and video are expected to be labeled as artificial, and users of chat assistants should know they're talking to an AI. Google and Meta also have their own rules on synthetic content. I don't produce content that impersonates real people, and I don't make up customer reviews or results. I recommend confirming the legal details for your own campaign with a lawyer.

If you'd like to see AI as part of your ad plan, continue on the advertising agency in Spain or advertising agency in Barcelona pages.

Where to start

Rather than handing almost everything over to AI right away, I recommend starting with a small pilot. For example, we multiply and test the ad copy and visuals of an existing campaign with AI, or set up a simple assistant on your website that answers frequently asked questions. Once we see the results, we move on to voiceovers, video production and automated campaigns. Moving in this order protects both your budget and your brand's reputation. On the creative side, combining AI with real footage often delivers the best results: the main film is shot with local crews, and short variations and language versions are sped up with AI.

To talk about how you can use AI in your ads, send me a short note through the contact page about your business and your goal. I'll come to our first meeting with a small pilot proposal tailored to you.

Common Questions

What does AI advertising in Spain mean?

It means using artificial intelligence in ad campaigns in Spain for creative production, translation, voiceovers, campaign automation and lead-capturing assistants.

Do AI-generated ads cost you the trust of Spanish customers?

Content that looks artificial and goes out unchecked can cost you trust. I put every output through human review and I don't publish anything that doesn't fit the brand identity.

Do I need to disclose that an ad was made with AI?

The transparency provisions of the EU AI Act require disclosure for realistic synthetic content and chat assistants. I recommend confirming the details for your specific case with a lawyer.

Do Performance Max and Advantage+ campaigns run on their own?

They make budget and placement decisions automatically, but without the right assets, goals and conversion data they won't perform well. Setup and monitoring are still human work.

Can we do Catalan voiceovers with AI?

Yes, we can. I always have the final audio and script checked by a native Catalan speaker.

Where is my data stored in AI advertising work in Spain?

For assistant and automation setups, I define upfront which data is processed by which service and recommend reflecting this in your privacy policy. I don't send personal data to AI tools unnecessarily.
