Today we're putting the cherry on top of your 2025 marketing toolkit with a long-form episode on 2025 Marketing Trends!

To do that, I'm joined by communications strategist Amanda Laird to chat about four things she's forecasting for the year ahead, including:

• AI operations & optimization — plus the need to disclose how we're using AI in our work 🤖
• Big shifts in the social media landscape — including the fall of X, the rise of Bluesky, "free speech" on Facebook & more 🪨
• Substack's slow & steady descent from newsletter service to social media platform... 🫠
• & The return to IRL events — plus more intimacy in our online spaces 🫂

   
Tune in for a gently-guided look into the murky crystal ball of online biz in 2025. Then join us in the Clubhouse for our members-only biz forecast episodes throughout the year!
