In the AI field- Voice Search Optimization.

Cringe advertisement: yes, it’s a thing

If you encounter content that makes you feel discomfort or embarrassment, it might have been on purpose. In the past, marketing was highly calculated, with careful thought and strategy behind every move. Each year, we notice an increase in marketing content that is raw, unpolished, and at times, even cringeworthy. This trend, which is likely to continue into the new year, lies in the classic marketing strategy of evoking emotion.

Personalization

Today’s standard in digital channels is to personalize the message to the point where your client feels you already have a connection with him. Consumers now expect personalized experiences online and in their everyday interactions, whether shopping for new products or visiting their doctor. 2025 foresees show that this field will develop even more to a level of hyper-personalization for content, recommendations, and messages. The main innovation will be making it dynamic by customizing the message for each user.

Video content

While it’s unclear which came first—the audience’s preference for choosing video content over reading long texts or platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok focusing more on video content. We know videos have higher engagement and a higher impact on delivering information. In 2025, tools like InShot and Canva will still assist in creating engaging videos, while social media platforms will continue introducing new optimization and analytic features.

First-person storytelling

Suppose you can try to avoid the passive voice in your content. SEO tools tend to favor a first-person tone instead of passive sentences, which is likely to resonate better with audience preferences. Authenticity might be hard to find when AI-generated content dominates the internet on social media, but it’s crucial for connecting and finding your most suitable customers. In the same way, we trust influencers with their recommendations and opinions through personal storytelling.
