I’ve seen many predictions about what marketers should expect, anticipate or work for in 2025. The continued rise of AI, other technologies that might come to fruition, how to use CDPs, and whether marketers are even using CDPs — some things are new, but many of them are things we’ve been predicting for years. As I said in my earlier post here on MarTech, I’m not a predictions guy. I don’t do the “New year, new you” thing. I’m 53. There’s no new me, just updated versions.

We are days away from closing the books on 2024 (thank goodness). How did your year go? I can’t believe how fast this year has gone. Yet, at times, it seemed to crawl. We’ve been confronted by one head-turning moment after another: the economy, the election, and people buying Tesla Cybertrucks. That’s not even including the changes that continue to transform marketing.

Warning: I am in rant mode today. This happens fairly often because I understand email’s potential. Over my 25 years in email, I have seen email greatness come from large and small email teams at large and small companies. I have written about it and ranted about companies that sacrifice this potential by cutting back on their funding for email in 2024. Today, one ongoing email problem has mushroomed into a colossal problem. I am compelled to set aside my other topic for this month and discuss it.

software-based medical devices, ranging from diagnostics to
treatment plans, is rapidly growing. As these innovations emerge,
protecting intellectual property (IP), particularly through patents
becomes critical. A well-defined AI policy is essential to
safeguard these medical devices from infringement while encouraging
further innovation.

Yes, I meant what I said in the headline. And I say that with confidence, not arrogance, after being in email marketing for 25 years and watching company after company, vertical after vertical, falling somewhere on the spectrum of email investment. On one end, companies invested significant time and money in email; on the other, they stumbled into it without that same investment. But I’m seeing a pullback of resources from digital marketing, which has been the historically winning solution.
