creative fatigue

Artistic energy drained

Creative fatigue is the diminished effectiveness of advertising or marketing content after repeated exposure to the same audience.

When people see the same ad too many times, they stop noticing it or actively tune it out: We're seeing creative fatigue on this campaign—click-through rates have dropped 40% since launch.

The term is standard in digital marketing, where metrics reveal exactly when audiences grow tired of specific content.
