Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been transforming the digital marketing landscape for years, but 2025 is set to be a pivotal year, with industry leaders like Apple and Google launching their own advanced AI assistance, Apple Intelligence and Gemini.
Ongoing innovations and the rapid growth of AI promise to reshape how brands and businesses interact with consumers.

Smarter AI, Smarter Marketing

Apple’s AI and Google’s Gemini represent the next generation of integrated AI technology. These platforms promise to deliver personalisation and contextual understanding. For a business, this means the ability to:

• Deliver more personalised content: AI assistance enables advanced machine learning to understand individual messages, which will create meaningful connections with the audience.
• Enhancing voice search optimisation: With more and more AI systems being integrated into devices and services, voice search will become even more efficient and widespread. This raises the question, will businesses need to prioritise voice search optimisation to stay visible and relevant? It’s something we’ll be closely watching over the coming months!
• Predictive insights: AI can process vast amounts of consumer data to predict trends and behaviour enabling businesses to act proactively rather than reactively, making campaigns more effective and efficient.

What are some of the key changes in 2025?

The Rise of Conversational Commerce
When it comes to search and shopping, tools like Apple Intelligence and Gemini are set to transform how consumers act. These tools not only recommend products that may be the most relevant, but they will also help guide seamless purchases through voice commands and conversational interfaces.

Amazon’s Alexa has had this capability for years now. For example, you can ask Alexa to build your desired shopping list throughout the day to then purchase in one simple transaction at your convenience However, there are limitations with Alexa as this device is typically anchored at the home or workplace.
These ongoing shifts in shopping behaviours demand that businesses rethink their e-commerce strategies to include AI-driven shopping experiences.

Evolving Ad Strategies
Traditional advertising methods will continue to give way to AI-enhanced targeting and we are already seeing advertising campaigns using AI.
In 2024, Coca-Cola produced 3 AI Christmas campaigns which received mixed feedback from consumers, with many feeling it had lost the spark and magic it once had. However, with AI systems accessing more detailed user insights, businesses can create advertisements that feel more like helpful suggestions than intrusive promotions. We can’t wait to see the development of these advertising campaigns in the future!

Search Behaviours
With the integration of Apple Intelligence and Gemini on their respective devices, search behaviour will become more conversational and contextual. Users can expect immediate responses which will need to push businesses to invest in SEO management to ensure they are appearing at the top of search results and suggested content.

Preparing for an AI Future

Now, we don’t believe AI is going to take over completely in 2025, but it is something we all need to be more aware of, the landscape is evolving and businesses need to embrace and evolve with it. To help you get started, we’ve shared some of our top tips:

• Focus on ethical marketing: As AI collects more data, being transparent about usage and prioritising consumer privacy will build trust and loyalty.
• Upskill teams: Work with marketing agencies who have the knowledge and skills to leverage any emerging AI technologies effectively.
• Stay Agile: Don’t shy away from AI, you may not have to embrace it with open arms but don’t close the door on it completely! Businesses and brands must be prepared to pivot long-term strategies as new tools and capabilities emerge.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking “What is a UX Audit and why do I need one?” Well look no further, let us explain!

First of all, what is UX in Design?

UX stands for User Experience. Essentially, it’s creating products that are both easy and enjoyable to use. The process involves evaluating and understanding the user’s needs and wants regarding the product and executing the design to ensure that they are functional, behave as expected, and are satisfying to use.

It’s typically a term used in digital design, ensuring from the beginning that the user experience is at the forefront of the mind. Good UX would look at how different people, or personas, may interact with the website and ensure there are clear and easy paths to complete each action successfully.

What is a UX Audit?

A UX Audit is the process of evaluating a product (such as a website or application), identifying the root causes of any flaws in the user journey and producing solutions to solve the errors. This is done by identifying the key user types of this product and mapping out their goals and journeys across the product to then subsequently test.

These journeys are typically tested using a Heuristic evaluation method, which essentially is a set of guidelines that ensure a product is easy to use. The most common of these frameworks is Neilson’s Heuristics which are 10 principles to adhere to that create better user experiences from Error Prevention to Flexibility and Efficiency of use to Aesthetic and Minimalistic Design.

Why do I need a UX Audit?

It is generally considered that a website or digital product should be refreshed every 2-3 years, or it runs the risk of becoming dated and no longer easy to use as the digital landscape and user behaviours change rapidly.

A UX Audit considers this and evaluates a product to create a more efficient and streamlined journey that leaves any user satisfied that they have achieved their intended goal for your product, prolonging the life of your product or service and keeping your customers happy.
