It will likely come as no surprise that AI will continue to grow this year, and we’ve already seen its impact on marketing, enabling more accurate predictions. 

Changes to traditional SEO

SEO is evolving, and while traditional rankings still matter, businesses now also need to consider how their content appears in AI‑generated answers and summaries. These tools shift behaviour from browsing links to receiving direct responses, with more people already using AI to search for queries they once took to traditional engines. 

To keep up, businesses must optimise content for AI‑driven summaries and conversational search, while also prioritising customer reviews and exploring additional visibility opportunities such as guest blogging and podcasts.

Rise of AI agents

AI agents are increasingly automating tasks such as campaign optimisation and reporting by acting as autonomous systems that can think, act, and refine processes independently. These agents still require human oversight to guide strategy, ensure accuracy and maintain brand alignment.

Increase in AI content creation 

AI-generated content is growing rapidly, making the challenge less about producing material and more about standing out. Brands that lean too heavily on generic AI output risk losing their distinct voice and blending in, so maintaining human creativity is essential. 

Blending AI efficiency with human perspective helps preserve brand identity, and using AI to produce content at scale across video, audio, text, and more can still be valuable for reaching audiences across multiple formats.

More personalisation 

AI-driven personalisation is accelerating, using behavioural signals, context and intent to tailor content, offers and journeys for each user. With deeper insights into consumer behaviour, businesses can deliver relevant offers before customers even start searching, and many brands now use AI chatbots and similar tools to provide these personalised experiences.

Increased privacy 

AI enables smarter use of customer data, but strong privacy practices remain essential. Regulations like GDPR still apply, and businesses must stay transparent about how data is collected and used. Many brands now rely on surveys, loyalty programmes and similar methods to gather customer information responsibly.
