Happy 2025!
Looking back over our coverage last year, one thing was very clear: marketing trends change… fast! We evolved our content week after week to be sure to stay on top of all the hot topics and new technologies that were emerging to help you and your team stay ahead of the curve and the competition. These weekly conversations with you are something we look forward to, and hope you’ve found continual value in them.
To wrap up the year, we looked back on the 51 editions of the Marketing Minute we have sent out this year and pulled together the Top 10 based on your engagement (AI was certainly top of mind for you all — it had THREE rankings in this list!)
There’s a lot of great diversity of coverage below, as well as in our archive. If there are any topics you’d like to see covered in 2025, please let us know and we’ll try to tackle as many as possible. We value your feedback.
