Yandex Direct

Yandex Direct evolves with digital marketing, adding advertiser tools each year. Here are the features expected in 2025.

AI supporting advertising

New advertising formats

New Yandex Direct formats in 2025 will offer additional ways to improve advertising:

  • Text-and-image ads with additional functions: Add reviews, ratings, buttons and other elements.
  • Interactive video ads: Users can follow links or comment within video ads.
