Digital marketer Gerben De Moor’s vision for 2025

As part of our white paper ‘The vision of 25 digital marketers for 2025,’ we asked Gerben De Moor, digital marketer at Mediaforta, for his vision for 2025 and two practical tips he would give to readers. You can read his response below.

We cannot deny that AI has become a critical element in our field. Not a day goes by without AI being discussed, and this will undoubtedly remain the case in 2025. We belong to the generation before AI, something our children might find hard to imagine. Yet, I believe we should not underestimate our own knowledge and expertise.

Last year, everyone was experimenting with AI-generated content. However, we are now seeing a shift. The output often falls short, failing to align with what our brand truly represents or to add significant value.

It is essential to reflect on why we do what we do. Our goal is to provide clear answers to the pain points and needs of our target audience, demonstrating our expertise and aiming to become top-of-mind for future customers. That’s the core of marketing. AI can be a supportive tool in this process, but it should not distract us from the fact that we know our audience better than anyone else.

I expect that quality and the ability to respond clearly to user intent will become even more critical than they are today. No matter how you spin it, every search engine aims to deliver the best answer to its users. This also applies to new developments such as AI-driven search engines like SearchGPT. They, too, want to provide the best results for their users, which can only be achieved by truly understanding your audience and tailoring your content to their needs.

This is why Demand Generation increasingly convinces me—it aligns perfectly with this principle. While we are all focused on generating leads, sometimes it’s better to let go. Offer something valuable without expecting anything in return. When you provide content that genuinely interests your audience, they will come to you naturally, and the connection becomes that much stronger. Use it as a strategic weapon to position your brand, build relationships, and leave a lasting impression. Because in the digital world, the ones who stand out are the ones who win.

In 2025 the rise of AI will continue and will become a skill to master. It will be a tool to enhance our content marketing strategies rather than to replace our expertise.

Tip 1: Combine AI with human expertise

AI tools provide incredible possibilities for content production and SEO, but success lies in combining AI with human creativity and expertise. Use AI to analyze data, identify trends, or automate repetitive tasks, but make sure your brand’s unique voice and insights remain at the forefront.

AI-generated content is often generic and lacks the depth needed to leave a lasting impression. Stay focused on the essence of marketing: understanding and resonating with your audience. Let AI support you—for example, by suggesting content ideas or keywords—but refine and personalize the output to make your brand truly stand out. Ultimately, it’s the synergy between technology and your human insights that ensures your content remains authentic, valuable, and distinctive. That’s what makes a difference in the digital world.

Tip 2: Master the art of crafting effective prompts

The quality of AI-generated output depends heavily on the quality of the prompts you provide. A vague or poorly structured prompt often results in generic or irrelevant responses, while a well-crafted one can unlock the true potential of AI tools. To create effective prompts, start by being clear and specific about your goal. Define the context, target audience, tone, and any key details that should be included. For example, instead of asking, “Write an article about marketing,” try, “Write a 500-word article explaining how demand generation helps SaaS companies build long-term customer relationships, using an engaging and professional tone.”

Iterate on your prompts to refine the output, testing different approaches to see what works best. Think of prompts as the bridge between your creative vision and AI’s capabilities. With practice, you’ll learn to ask the right questions, ensuring the content aligns with your brand’s voice and goals.
