Overview

  • AI is now the standard, not the edge. Platforms like Google, Meta, TikTok, and Amazon are integrating AI across targeting, creative, and measurement—reshaping how performance marketing works.
  • Search behavior is shifting. With the rise of AI-led discovery, users are searching more conversationally. Winning brands are adapting SEO strategies to focus on context, content depth, and brand trust.
  • Digital banks are gaining ground. Online-first institutions are outperforming traditional banks in deposits and lending. This is reflected in search trends, with rising interest in high-yield savings, refinancing, and student loans.
  • Media strategies are evolving. Channels like YouTube, TikTok, Amazon Ads, and Meta’s platforms are driving results through short-form video, AI-driven commerce, and first-party data targeting.

How can you ride these trends to win?
