This Week in Marketing: A Bright Outlook

This Week in Marketing: A Bright Outlook

By Tequia Burt, Editor in Chief of the LinkedIn for Marketing Blog

What is the outlook for brands and marketers in 2025? It’s a question that is top of mind with, suddenly, only a little over a month remaining here in 2024.

Personally I’m feeling a lot of positivity as I think about the year ahead. There are so many exciting and important trends rising to the forefront, many of which are highlighted by Kantar in their Marketing Trends 2025. Continued growth of video, increased rigor around generative AI, and the heightened challenge to earn attention on social media feeds are among the top forces driving the marketing practice forward right now, per Kantar.

This week’s newsletter explores plenty more info and insight – including key elements of a meaningful brand, SEO myth-busting, and new marketing jobs data from LinkedIn — to help you survey the landscape and set your own course for a bright outlook in 2025.

LinkedIn for Marketing Thanks for sharing these valuable insights on the future of B2B marketing. I completely agree that video, generative AI, and social media attention are among the top driving forces for the marketing practice in 2025. However, I believe that personalization will become even more critical for B2B brands to stand out in a crowded market. With the rise of AI and machine learning, marketers can leverage data to deliver personalized experiences that resonate with their target audience. Additionally, I think that sustainability and social responsibility will become increasingly important for B2B brands to build meaningful connections with their customers. As consumers become more conscious of their impact on the environment and society, they will expect the same from the brands they do business with. Overall, I'm excited to see how B2B marketing will evolve in the coming years and look forward to staying up-to-date on the latest trends and strategies.
