Key journals and conferences known for high-quality research are identified, with dominant keywords including 'consumer behavior,' 'brand engagement,' and 'marketing strategy.' The study notes a growing application of data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality (AR) to enhance advertising effectiveness. It also addresses the social implications of advertising, acknowledging its capacity to shape behavior and raise ethical concerns. For businesses, insights from this study can aid in navigating the evolving landscape of social media advertising, especially with data analytics and AI. This research stands out for its focus on social media digital advertising and its rigorous methodology, offering an in-depth overview of trends, significant research, and future directions. The findings emphasize the increasing role of data analytics, AI, and AR, providing practical guidance for businesses looking to refine their digital advertising strategies in a dynamic social media environment.
