Where the Marketing Industry Stands Today

 

Marketing can be broken down into two primary categories:

 

    • Digital Marketing: This includes search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC), social media, display, web development and design, Over-The-Top (OTT), and direct messaging (email and SMS).
    • Traditional Marketing: This encompasses channels like broadcast TV & radio, direct mail, print media, and out-of-home (OOH) advertising such as billboards and signage.

Currently, digital marketing accounts for roughly 72% of total marketing spend in the U.S., and its share is expected to continue growing. Over the next five years, investments in digital marketing are projected to increase at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 15.4%. On the flip side, traditional marketing methods are expected to stagnate or decline, with a negative CAGR anticipated for the same period.

This growing emphasis on digital marketing highlights the need for businesses to strategically allocate their budgets. But for now, since we are focusing on the market as a whole, here is the average marketing spend as a percentage of revenue for each type of business:

    • B2B Product: 8.6%
    • B2B Services: 8.7%
    • B2C Product: 9.8%
    • B2C Services: 15.6%

Key Takeaways:

 

  • Digital marketing continues its rapid expansion, while traditional marketing faces stagnation or decline.
  • B2C companies, especially those offering services, allocate a higher percentage of their revenue to marketing compared to B2B companies.
  • Companies that spend below the industry average on marketing may risk losing market share, while those who invest above average could capture larger portions of the market and accelerate growth.

 


 

Digital Marketing Trends by Channel

 

SEO

 

1: The Rise of Zero-Click Searches

 

    • What’s happening: One of the biggest trends in SEO is the rise of Zero-Click Searches. This refers to AI-powered snippets that provide users with immediate answers directly at the top of the search engine results page (SERP), often removing the need to click through to a website.
    • Why it matters: While this trend may seem like a challenge for traditional SEO, it actually presents an opportunity for brands to showcase their authority. If your content is selected for a snippet, it boosts your visibility without requiring clicks.
    • Pro tip: To increase your chances of being featured in a snippet:
      • Ensure to structure content with clear headings, bullet points, and lists, making it easy for search engines to extract key information.
      • Use concise language that directly answers common user queries.
      • Target long-tail keywords that address specific, often-asked questions.

Ashton Young, Digital Coordinator at Aroluxe, says, “Schema’s structured data acts as a language and allows search engines to understand content and its meaning.”

 

2: The Impact of AI on SEO

 

    • What’s happening: AI is transforming the SEO landscape by streamlining processes like content research, keyword analysis, and content generation. This increased efficiency has led to an influx of generic, low-quality content that floods the web.
    • Why it matters: In response, search engines like Google and Bing are doubling down on rewarding quality, authoritative content. For content to rank well, it must offer value, originality, and expertise.
    • Pro tips: 
      • Focus on creating high-quality, original content that provides clear value to your audience. Prioritize authority and trustworthiness, as search engines increasingly favor relevant, expert-driven material.

Ashley Zych, Partner and Director of Search Marketing at Aroluxe says, “Make sure to understand the user intent behind a keyword. By directly addressing it, you improve your chances of appearing in a zero-click result, along with gaining other SERP opportunities, like the ‘People Also Ask’ panel.”

 

The SEO Lead at Aroluxe, Andra Stewart, says, “If you choose to use AI to generate content, double, triple, and quadruple check for inaccuracies, redundancies, and irrelevant points. Add in your own facts and advice that AI excludes.”

 

3: Video Content’s Growing Role in SEO

 

    • What’s happening: Video content, already dominant across the internet, is becoming an increasingly important factor in SEO. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok are appearing more frequently in Google search results, which underscores the growing importance of video in SEO strategies.
    • Why it matters: By integrating video content into your SEO strategy, you can enhance engagement and increase your chances of appearing in search results. Videos can also add additional value to blog posts and written content, improving both user experience and search rankings.
    • Pro tip: Embed relevant videos within blog posts and other content to improve SEO performance. Additionally, ensure videos are optimized for both YouTube and Google search by using relevant keywords in titles, descriptions, and tags.

To add on to this, Andra Stewart, SEO Lead at Aroluxe says: “Take the time to write closed captions – this is like having even more written content for Google to crawl. Add chapters to YT videos, as these are like adding headings to written content that helps search engines direct users straight to the answer they’re looking for.”

 

Takeaways for SEO:

 

    • Zero-click searches are on the rise, and securing a spot in AI-powered snippets is a powerful way to showcase your brand’s authority.
    • AI is reshaping content research and generation, but it’s important to prioritize high-quality, original content to avoid blending in with generic, automated material.
    • Video content is becoming increasingly important in SEO—consider embedding videos into blog posts and other content to increase value and improve rankings.

 


 

Paid Search (PPC)

 

1: The Role of Automation & AI in PPC

 

    • What’s happening: Automation and AI are transforming the world of paid search. Google Ads and Microsoft Ads now offer advanced tools for a variety of tasks, including image creation, bid optimization, keyword research, campaign management, and target CPA (Cost-Per-Acquisition).
    • Why it matters: AI allows for more efficient, data-driven campaign management and enables hyper-targeted ads, enhancing ROI and campaign performance.

Britta Plyler, Partner and VP of Digital Strategy at Aroluxe says, “AI offers valuable insights and allows us to focus more on overall strategy. Even so, it requires human oversight to make sure we stay aligned with brand standards and market trends.”

 

2: The Resurgence of Bing/Microsoft Ads

 

    • What’s happening: For years, Google has dominated the paid search landscape, but Bing (Microsoft Ads) is making a strong comeback. Here’s why:
      • Lower Costs: With less competition than Google, Bing Ads offer more affordable placements, which can deliver a higher return on investment.
      • Enhanced Targeting: Microsoft’s ownership of LinkedIn means that Bing Ads can leverage LinkedIn data, providing unique targeting opportunities for B2B marketers.
      • AI-Powered Search: Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI has positioned Bing as a leader in AI-driven search, making it an attractive option for forward-thinking advertisers.
    • Pro tip: Explore Bing Ads as part of your paid search strategy, especially if you’re targeting B2B customers or seeking to reduce your cost per click.

 

3: Optimizing for Voice Search

 

    • What’s happening: As voice search becomes increasingly popular with devices like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, PPC efforts must adapt to this shift.
    • Why it matters: People use voice search differently than text search. Queries are typically longer and more conversational, so PPC strategies need to evolve to incorporate this change in user behavior.
    • Pro tip: Optimize your PPC efforts for voice search by focusing on conversational, long-tail keywords. Additionally, since most voice searches happen on mobile devices, ensure your landing pages are mobile-friendly to maximize conversion rates.

 

Key Takeaways for Paid Search (PPC):

 

    • Automation & AI are transforming PPC, offering tools that streamline campaign management and enhance targeting precision.
    • Bing/Microsoft Ads is gaining momentum, providing lower costs and enhanced targeting through LinkedIn data, making it a strong contender in paid search.
    • Voice search is on the rise, and optimizing for conversational, long-tail keywords is crucial, especially on mobile devices.

 


 

Social Media

 

1: Short-Form Video Dominates

 

    • What’s happening: Short-form video has firmly established itself as the #1 most consumed type of content on the internet. To craft a successful social media strategy in 2025, short-form video is an essential component.
    • Why it matters: Where attention goes, money flows. Meeting your consumers where they are is a great way to build brand awareness.
    • Pro tip: Focus on creating engaging, attention-grabbing hooks that get to the point fast. The quicker you draw viewers in, the more likely they are to watch until the end.

 

2: Community Engagement & Personalization

 

    • What’s happening: In an era of constant content creation, consumers are seeking authenticity and real connection with creators and brands. Highly polished, corporate videos are giving way to content that feels more organic and personal.
    • Why it matters: Building a community around your brand or content is essential for sustained engagement. Posts that encourage meaningful conversations—where followers can share tips, ask questions, and engage in discussions—are driving stronger connections.
    • Pro tip: Explore niche platforms like Reddit or Facebook Groups to identify where your audience already gathers and engage in those spaces. And remember, responding to comments is key to fostering a loyal, active community.

 

3: The Rise of Micro and Nano Influencers

 

    • What’s happening: Influencer marketing continues to thrive, but a shift is occurring. Brands are moving away from partnerships with large influencers and are focusing on micro, nano, and user-generated content (UGC) creators.
    • Why it matters: Influencers, particularly those with smaller but highly engaged followings, are showing better returns due to their ability to build stronger, more trusted relationships with their audiences.
    • Interesting Stats:
      • Customer reviews are trusted 12x more than marketing directly from an organization.
      • Only 35% of consumers trust reviews as much as influencers.
    • Pro tip: Look for authentic influencers who align with your brand’s values and can create content that resonates deeply with their audience.

 

4: Social Media as a Search Engine

 

    • What’s happening: Social media platforms are becoming key players in search. A Google senior VP estimates that 40% of young people now use social media as a search engine, a trend that’s growing rapidly.
    • Why it matters: As more people turn to social media for information, it’s essential to integrate SEO best practices into your social media strategy.
    • Pro tip for Local Businesses: Take advantage of platforms like Instagram and TikTok, which feature searchable maps that allow users to find nearby businesses. Optimizing your profile for these features can boost your visibility, especially as the trend toward social media-based search continues.

 

5: Social Commerce & Live Shopping

 

    • What’s happening: Social commerce, the ability to make purchases directly within social platforms, is on the rise. Convenience plays a large role here—consumers prefer to shop on the platforms they already spend time on.
    • Why it matters: Live shopping—where influencers and brands showcase products in real-time—is exploding in markets like China and will soon be rolled out in the U.S. Early adopters in the U.S. market will see great success.
    • Pro tip: Start experimenting with live shopping and shoppable posts on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook to tap into this growing trend early.

 

6: LinkedIn’s Evolving Landscape

 

    • What’s happening: LinkedIn is undergoing a transformation from a traditional, professional networking site to a more casual, dynamic platform that facilitates real-world connections. LinkedIn is integrating features like a scrollable video feed—similar to social platforms like Instagram and TikTok
    • Why it matters: LinkedIn’s new features and culture open up a swarm of opportunity for B2B businesses and marketers.
    • Pro tip: Reformat your already existing short-form content and post it to LinkedIn.

 

Takeaways for Social Media:

 

    • Short-form video continues to be the dominant content type, and crafting strong hooks in the first 3 seconds is essential for success.
    • Authenticity and community are paramount—create content that feels real and fosters conversation.
    • Micro, nano influencers, and UGC creators provide a higher ROI and stronger engagement compared to large influencers.
    • Social media as a search engine is a growing trend—optimize your profiles and content for SEO to take advantage.
    • Social commerce, including live shopping, is on the rise, so start integrating shoppable posts into your strategy.
    • LinkedIn is evolving into a more dynamic, casual platform, with video and interactive posts becoming increasingly important.

 


 

Web Development & Design

    • What’s happening: A mobile-first design strategy is now essential for every website. With over 60% of global web traffic coming from mobile devices, mobile users have officially become the majority.
    • Why it matters: To provide a seamless experience, websites must be optimized for mobile. This means eliminating unnecessary elements like landscape photos, complex animations, and hover effects, which can create difficulties for mobile users.
    • Pro tip: Test your website regularly across different mobile devices to ensure responsiveness and usability are top-notch.

 

2: The Popularity of Dark Mode

 

    • What’s happening: Dark mode is rapidly becoming a preferred option for users across various platforms, including websites.
    • Why it matters: Websites that incorporate it tend to offer a more comfortable browsing experience for users, especially in low-light conditions. It’s known for reducing eye strain, offering high-contrast designs, and providing a sleek, modern aesthetic.
    • Pro tip: Implement a toggle button to allow users to choose between dark mode and light mode, offering them more control over their browsing environment.

 

3: The Role of AI in Web Design

 

    • What’s happening: AI is revolutionizing web design by automating routine tasks, such as filling websites with content and visuals, identifying weaknesses in web projects, and providing personalized recommendations for each user. Additionally, AI-powered chatbots are improving customer service by offering real-time assistance.
    • Why it matters: Implementing AI into the web design process will save you money and time.

 

4: Interactive Designs

 

    • What’s happening: Static websites are becoming a thing of the past. Websites are turning to more immersive designs by incorporating 3D animations, videos, and interactive elements.
    • Why it matters: To stand out from the crowd, you need to catch people’s attention. And first impressions go a long way, so having an impressive site can ensure viewers hold your website in a positive light.

Pro Tip: Partner and Director of Web Operations at Aroluxe, Aaron Smyser, says, “Static is stale. Most users will respond to movement or animation, balance this with performance and your funnels will be full.”

 

Takeaways for Web Development & Design:

 

    • A mobile-first strategy is critical to ensure your site is optimized for mobile users.
    • Consider implementing dark mode to provide a modern, user-friendly browsing experience.

    • Why it matters: These tactics not only capture attention, but also create a deeper connection with the audience, improving engagement and brand recall.
    • Pro tip: Make sure your bold animations, video ads, and interactive designs are optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.

 

2: The Growing Importance of Consumer Data Privacy

 

    • What’s happening: With tightening privacy regulations and consumers becoming more cautious about sharing their personal information, brands are moving away from relying on third-party data and shifting toward first-party data—data directly collected from consumers.
    • Why it matters: As consumers become more privacy-conscious, the ability to collect first-party data through methods like email signups, surveys, and direct engagement is becoming increasingly valuable. This not only builds trust but also ensures compliance with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
    • Pro tip: Prioritize clear, transparent opt-ins and inform consumers about how their data will be used. Building trust throughout this process is key to maintaining a loyal customer base.

 

3: The Rise of AI in Targeting and Ad Creation

 

    • What’s happening: As AI technology continues to advance, display ads will become increasingly hyper-personalized, tailored to individual consumer preferences based on their behaviors, interests, and past interactions with brands.
    • Why it matters: AI-driven targeting allows for more precise ad placements, ensuring that users are exposed to the most relevant content. This level of personalization leads to more effective ad campaigns, higher engagement, and greater conversion rates.

 

Takeaways for Display Ads:

 

    • Video ads and interactive designs are essential for creating engaging, memorable ad experiences.
    • Shifting to first-party data is crucial for staying compliant with privacy regulations and building consumer trust.
    • AI-powered targeting and creative are revolutionizing display ads, enabling hyper-personalized campaigns that drive better results.

This makes OTT a viable performance marketing channel, giving advertisers greater visibility into the effectiveness of their campaigns.
    • Why it matters: This is especially crucial for local businesses, as they can now measure the direct impact of their OTT ads and ensure that their advertising dollars are being well spent.

 

3: The Growth of Free Ad-Supported Streaming (FAST)

 

    • What’s happening: Consumers are facing an overwhelming number of subscription-based services, particularly in the CTV space. As a result, Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST) channels are gaining momentum. Services like Samsung TV Plus, Pluto TV, and Tubi are seeing increased usage as consumers become more selective about paying for subscriptions.
