In 2025, content marketing success hinges on hyper-personalization and authentic storytelling that resonates with niche audiences. Brands that leverage AI-driven insights to deliver timely, relevant content are leading the digital conversation.

Lisa Gately, Principal Analyst at Forrester has published an article featuring useful advice on improving content marketing in 2025.

She says, “To stand out in this environment, you’ve got to produce content that gets recognized and reused by the tools your buyers rely on. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

  • Write for reasoning, not just ranking. Structure your content to answer real buyer questions clearly and logically, not just to satisfy keyword formulas. Use concise explanations, well-labeled sections, and context-rich examples to help large language models understand and reuse your content accurately, whether that’s as a direct quote, summary, or reference in a broader AI-generated response.
  • Collaborate with subject-matter experts to build depth and authority. Involve your experts early to surface unique angles, original insights, and meaningful context that your competitors can’t replicate.”
