The State of AI: 2025's Guide for Marketers ft. WPP, R/GA and many more
Briefly

Generative AI dominated marketing conversations in 2024, leading brands and agencies to invest heavily in AI tools for improving efficiency and productivity. However, experts warn against over-relying on automated ad-creation services, which could dilute creativity. Concerns also arise over labeling AI-generated content, as marketers are wary of the 'Made with AI' tag not distinguishing between fully AI-created content and that created with AI assistance. Experts suggest the integration of AI in internal frameworks, focusing on best practices and compliance, as a balanced approach for agencies moving forward into 2025.
Across the board, marketers' adoption of AI technology has steadily increased over the last three years. According to Modern Retail+ Research surveys conducted in 2022, 2023 and 2024, marketers' use of AI increased from 44% of survey respondents in 2022 to 57% of respondents in 2023, and jumped again to a whopping 77% of respondents in 2024.
Sarah Mehler, co-founder and CEO at Left Field Labs, a creative tech agency with a focus on applied AI, said a good starting point for many agencies is to integrate internal applications for AI, while being mindful of how those applications are put into play.
