I think it's fair to say 2024 has been a turbulent year for lots of marketers and creatives alike.
Uncertainty because of global events, elections and budgets have lead to caution for most of the teams and individuals I've spoke to this year.
But, we're still here!
So as a final thought before shutting down and enjoying some time off with my family, I'm looking to the start of a new year with renewed optimism for everyone involved in marketing and creative work.
In 2025 creative execution will be your super power.
Everyone is producing content, including your competitors.
Everyone is posting content on social, including your competitors.
Not everyone is executing the creative well.
Canva templates, Ai written content, cookie-cutter explainer animations and generic talking head videos.
It’s really crowded and very noisy out there.

The creative is where you can be different and how you can stand out.
Standing out doesn’t just mean louder colours or quirky ideas for the sake of it. It’s about execution that’s thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in what your audience actually cares about.
It’s about taking the time to understand what resonates, crafting stories that connect, and delivering content that answers your audience's questions—sometimes before they’ve even had a chance to ask them.
AI tools have their place - they’re fantastic for saving time and streamlining processes.
But when it comes to creative work, the difference lies in the human touch: the insights, originality, and perspective that elevate your ideas beyond the ordinary.
Two questions we should all be asking ourselves next year:
Let’s make 2025 the year we refine our craft, explore new ideas, and keep raising the standard for creative work.
Here’s to a fresh start and a fulfilling year ahead—full of opportunities to do our best work yet!
Have a great festive break whatever you're doing!
See you in 2025
