I’ve been working behind the scenes with AI for over 3 years now, developing KeywordSearch’s AI Ad Targeting & Audience Building software. And what I can tell you is that what’s coming next is going to change EVERYTHING about marketing!

Let me pull back the curtain & share exactly what I see coming in 2025…

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟲 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗜’𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴:

1. 𝗔𝗜 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

With OpenAI’s Sora & Google’s Veo, we’re seeing the beginning of AI-generated video content that looks incredibly realistic. This is going to completely transform how we create video ads & content.

But here’s what most people miss — it won’t replace authentic connection. In fact, I believe authentic, human-created content will become even MORE valuable as AI-generated content becomes common.

The key will be using AI to enhance & scale your authentic message, not replace it. For example, using AI video as B-Roll in addition to the real footage of you speaking to amplify your message.

2. 𝗔𝗜-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

This is something I’m particularly excited about because we’ve been pioneering it for over 3 years with KeywordSearch. Our AI can now analyze your business & create laser-targeted YouTube Ad audiences in seconds & sync them directly to YouTube / Google Ads!

What used to take hours of manual research can now be done in minutes with AI — and the targeting is often better than what humans could create manually! This is because AI can process millions of data points & patterns that would be impossible for any human to analyze.

Btw if you want a free trial of my KeywordSearch software to give it a 5-day unlimited test drive — I’ll post the link below — I know it will blow you away!

3. 𝗔𝗜 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

The ability to create hyper-personalized marketing campaigns at scale is becoming a reality. AI can now analyze user behavior & create custom experiences for each viewer.

Google has already injected this into their new Deman Gen ad format (I’ll share more on this soon — we’ve got a lot cooking with this but rolling out to clients first) — what this essentially does is design a path for each user to show them widescreen YouTube Ads, YouTube Short Ads, Image Ads & more all in an order the AI believes will lead to a conversion/demand!

And this is only going to get more & more personalized!

Think about it — what if every single person who saw your ad got a slightly different version tailored exactly to their interests & behavior? That’s where we’re heading.

4. 𝗔𝗜-𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

Remember my “Video Blocks Strategy” where we film multiple hooks & variations to create dozens of ads? Well, AI is about to supercharge this process.

Imagine being able to test hundreds of creative variations simultaneously, with AI analyzing performance in real-time & automatically optimizing for the best performers.

5. 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

This is a BIG one that nobody’s talking about yet. AI won’t just help us find audiences — it will predict which audiences are most likely to convert BEFORE we even run ads to them.

We’re actually mapping out this future capability right now at KeywordSearch (maybe I wasn’t supposed to share that yet… 😉)

6. 𝗔𝗜-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Imagine AI that can analyze your entire marketing funnel in real-time, identifying exactly where prospects are dropping off & automatically suggesting (or even implementing) optimizations.

This is going to revolutionize how we think about CRO (conversion rate optimization).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆:

Here’s what most marketers don’t understand — the winners in 2025 won’t be those who try to fight against AI or those who rely on it entirely.

The winners will be those who learn to leverage AI while maintaining authentic human connection.

Think of AI as rocket fuel for your marketing:

- It automates the tedious tasks
- Enhances your creative process
- Supercharges your targeting
- Scales personalization
- Optimizes performance in real-time

But the human element — the strategy, the authentic connection, the ability to truly understand & solve your customer’s problems — that becomes even MORE valuable.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:

Combine AI efficiency with human creativity & authenticity.

That’s exactly what we’ve done with KeywordSearch — using AI to handle the complex data analysis while allowing marketers to focus on strategy & creative.

The future isn’t about AI replacing marketers — it’s about AI empowering marketers to achieve better results than ever before!
