As we approach 2025, I gathered insight from marketing leaders about the shifts in consumer behavior they expect and the changes they anticipate in marketing. Below is insight on personalization, AI, data, and budgets.

"Personalization has transformed from a nice-to-have into a must-have in marketing strategies over the past few years. Consumers now expect tailored experiences at every interaction, and their attention spans are shrinking for anything less. As we move into the next year, these expectations are set to rise, pushing marketers to discover innovative ways to deliver deeper personalization at scale. Enter AI—the fastest and most cost-effective solution to meet these evolving demands.

We're just beginning to unlock the potential of data-driven insights from AI. While many brands have started with task automation, we'll see a shift toward more sophisticated machine-learning applications in 2025 and beyond. This evolution will provide marketers with fresh perspectives on consumer behavior, preferences, and sentiments, making personalization more intuitive than ever.

AI adoption will enhance efficiency and open up new opportunities throughout the entire customer journey. From precisely targeted digital ads and real-time optimization to personalized content, offers, and recommendations on your website—AI will make it all possible. Plus, it will streamline the checkout experience by tailoring payment options to individual preferences, ensuring a smoother, more personalized shopping journey."

"There's been a lot of excitement about how AI can be used to drive efficiency in marketing, especially when it comes to content creation. However, I think smart marketers are realizing that they still need to balance this efficiency with thoughtful, human-generated content. Even though generative AI can create things like social media captions, email copy, and blog content in seconds, it often misses the mark on brand sentiment, tone of voice and unique perspectives that set companies apart from their competitors.
