HubSpot contributor Laura M. Browning has published a new blog post ‘2025’s Lingering Questions, ‘ covering insights from 40+ marketers. 

She says, “Lingering Questions is one of my favorite parts of the Masters in Marketing newsletter, because it’s an opportunity for marketers to talk directly to one another.

This year, a few clear themes emerged: yes, AI can help you be a better and more efficient marketer, but human connection is more important than ever; authenticity, even if it means you’re a bit unpolished, is preferable to perfection; and consumers across all industries are hungry for community.

We’ve rounded up all the questions marketers asked each other in the last 12 months:

April Sunshine HawkinsMarketing and communications leader

“What warm memory comes to mind when you hear these three words: creative, curious, courageous?”

Irina NovoselskyCEO of Hootsuite

“I’ve spent the last year focused on building meaningful relationships on LinkedIn — sharing personal and professional experiences to create genuine connections. Each of these words have shaped this journey”.
