Marketing Must-Haves: How We Stay Ahead—And Help You Do the Same 

In 2025, digital marketing isn’t just evolving—it’s accelerating. Staying relevant now means more than frequent posting or having a polished website. It requires adapting to new technologies, understanding shifting consumer behavior, and building strategies that actually drive results. 

At Pop Digital Marketing, staying ahead of the curve is our norm—so our clients can lead, not follow. 

Here are the five essential marketing must-haves your business needs this year—and how we help bring them to life: 

  1. Short-Form Video That Grabs Attention

According to HubSpot’s 2025 State of Marketing Report, short-form video continues to deliver the highest ROI—especially when paired with influencer collaborations. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are now the go-to channels for connecting with Millennial and Gen Z audiences. 

🎯 What we do:
We help clients turn video into impact. From content calendars and creative direction to editing tools that simplify the process, we make short-form video both accessible and strategic. Whether it’s behind-the-scenes moments, 15-second tutorials, or livestream Q&As, we help your story land—and stick. 

  1. AI-Driven Marketing That Works Smarter, Not Harder

AI is no longer an emerging trend—it’s a daily tool. As Deepak Bansal’s 2025 Trends Report shows, AI now drives everything from multi-modal content creation to smarter keyword targeting. 

🎯 What we do:
At Pop, we leverage AI to improve efficiency without losing creativity. From refining SEO strategy to automating workflows, we use AI tools to streamline content production and give clients data-informed direction they can trust while maintaining their unique brand identity. 

  1. Authenticity Through Visual Storytelling

Today’s audiences want more than polished content—they want realness. Visual storytelling creates emotional connection and builds brand loyalty faster than any ad spend alone. 

🎯 What we do:
We help brands show up authentically. Our creative team blends branded video, custom carousels, and user-generated content to visually share your values. The result? A brand that feels human—and unforgettable. 

  1. Hyper-Personalized Content That Converts

Generic marketing doesn’t cut it anymore. Consumers expect content that feels made for them—delivered at the right time, in the right place, with the right message. 

🎯 What we do:
We create with purpose. Every website, campaign, and piece of branded content is designed with your ideal audience in mind. We write copy that speaks their language, design responsive websites that guide them to act, and develop visual assets that reflect your brand’s story—built to connect and convert. 

  1. A Strategy That Evolves With the Industry

Trends shift—but smart strategy adapts. With AI, AR, and platform algorithms constantly changing the game, it’s critical to build marketing that’s rooted in research and made to move. 

🎯 What we do:
We conduct in-depth market research and competitive analysis to ensure your campaigns are primed for success from the start. Our strategy-first approach gives you the insights and agility needed to evolve with the market—without falling behind.

Marketing During the Summer Season: Maximize Your Strategies 

With summer in full swing, you may have seen a slight dip in engagement and sales while consumers are in “vacation mode.” It can be difficult to capture your audience’s attention as more people are spending less time on the internet and more time outside. According to a study by Fanpage Karma, they saw 39% more reactions on rainy days in spring, autumn, and winter than on sunny days. Despite the low activity, you can get the most out of the summer season with these marketing tips to encourage more interactions.

Here are 4 recommended tactics to keep your marketing strong and your audience engaged over the summer:   

Retarget Ads 

With increased sunshine, people are more likely to spend less time online, making it more difficult to drive sales and gain your consumer’s attention. Luckily, there are ways you can optimize your strategy with this trend in mind. Retargeting your ads on Facebook and Google allows brands to engage with their visitors long after they have left your website. These targeted ads will keep your business at the forefront of visitors’ minds while building trust and encouraging recent visitors to return to your site. 

Summer Holidays 

Take advantage of the Summer Holidays and find ways to tie them into your marketing strategy. You can also incorporate National Holidays into your campaign that are interesting to your unique audiences. 

Building a sense of urgency by creating timer popups for holiday sales/promotions through targeted emails is another way to capture your audience’s attention. 

Time to Experiment 

Test out new, various methods with your audience during the summer months. This could be expressing appreciation to your customers through email campaigns, partnering with other businesses to promote products/services, sending out company merch like coffee cups or t-shirts, or pushing loyalty programs that incentivize sales during a typically slow period. 

Do not be afraid to take risks and step out of the box with your marketing strategies. Creative campaigns are a great way to connect with your audience and stand out from your competition. It’s all about differentiating your company.

Take Advantage of Social Media 

You may see a decline in engagement during the summer months, but do not let that discourage you and slow down your posts. Try to incorporate that fun summer feeling into your feed and create creative content that encourages your audience to engage. This could be a call-to-action, summer-themed hashtags, seasonal videos, or hosting a contest to engage your audience. 

Make sure to be posting consistently at optimal times throughout each week. Decreasing your post times can negatively affect your posting algorithm and ultimately who sees your posts. You may need to adjust your current schedule as your audience may be active at various times of day during these warmer months.  

Marketing in the summer is full of potential, so make sure that your company is taking advantage of all the great opportunities available. Summer is the perfect time to be creative and discover new ways to engage your audience while creating maximum exposure during this traditionally slow time.
