What’s next? Our marketing & social media predictions for 2025

As 2025 unfolds, marketing strategies and social media continue to evolve at pace, bringing with them exciting trends and opportunities. Here’s our deep dive into the trends that matter for your business this year.

1. PERSONALISATION ON STEROIDS

2025 is the year of hyper-personalised experiences. Using the power of AI, brands can deliver real-time insights and tailored content like never before.

🔑 Key takeaway: Personalisation is no longer optional – it’s essential. Brands that master this art will win both hearts and wallets.

2. INTERACTIVITY

Instagram and TikTok remain powerhouses in the social media space, driving innovation and engagement. One standout trend? The rise of live interactive shopping features.

💡 Pro Tip: Get ahead by experimenting with shoppable live streams. They’re a game-changer for driving conversions and engagement.

3. AI-DRIVEN CONTENT CREATION

Virtual influencers and synthetic media content are on the rise, from AI-generated influencers to automated podcasts.

🤖 What to Watch: As AI transforms content creation, we can all work smarter, faster and more effectively.

4. CONSUMER SHIFTS – CONSCIOUS CHOICES

Deinfluencers are also influencing buying habits, and sustainability is taking centre stage.

🌱 Next step: Showcase your brand’s commitment to ethical and sustainable practices to align with evolving customer values.

5. THE RISE OF EMPLOYEE ADVOCACY

Authenticity is king, and who better to represent your brand than your own employees? Employees as brand ambassadors give your message the human touch and build trust with your audience.

👩‍💼 Action: Give your team the tools and confidence they need to share your brand’s story authentically.

6. COMMUNITY-DRIVEN ENGAGEMENT

Online communities are becoming the backbone of digital marketing strategies and brands are building genuine relationships through social listening and community engagement.

💬 Engage: Prioritise building relationships over simply growing follower counts. Meaningful connections yield long-term loyalty.
