What is the Cartoon ad format?

Cartoon ads use illustrated characters and stylized artwork instead of live-action footage or photography, often with clean lines, warm colors, and friendly, simplified shapes that make complex ideas feel approachable. They're especially useful when you want to create a consistent brand world, show something that's hard to photograph (like how an air purifier works inside your home), or soften a functional product into something that feels welcoming rather than clinical. You'll see this format a lot with wellness, home, or pet products where the goal is to feel helpful and non-intimidating rather than slick or aggressive.
