Welcome to week one of my 4-part December series on the top marketing trends for 2025! Each week, I’ll dive into a trend that’s set to shape the way we connect with our audiences in the coming year. I’m keeping things bite-sized – one trend each week -because that’s exactly what our first trend is all about!
TREND #1 BITE-SIZED CONTENT
The first 2025 marketing trend you can’t ignore is bite-sized content. As attention spans keep shrinking, people are craving content that’s quick, easy to consume, and gets straight to the point. We’re all guilty of scrolling quickly through our feeds or skipping long videos, and so are our audiences. That’s why bite-sized content—short videos, simple graphics, quick tips—has become so essential.
Think of it this way: if you can capture interest and deliver value in a matter of seconds, you’re more likely to hold people’s attention. And in today’s fast-paced world, that’s invaluable.
WHY BITE-SIZED CONTENT WORKS
Bite-sized content isn’t just a marketing trend; it’s a response to how we consume information today. With everything competing for our attention, content that delivers value quickly is more likely to stand out. People don’t want to sift through tons of information—they want to understand the key message immediately. And as marketers, if we can master the art of simplicity, we’re already a step ahead.
Take a look at the rise of platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. Their success lies in the short, impactful snippets they offer. Audiences can consume and move on, which feels effortless. For brands, it’s about creating content that fits right into that behavior.
HOW TO CREATE BITE-SIZED CONTENT THAT DELIVERS VALUE
The key to bite-sized content is knowing how to break down your message into quick, impactful moments. Here are a few tips to get started:
Start with the hook: Whether it’s a question, a bold statement, or an eye-catching visual, your opening needs to grab attention immediately. There’s no time for lengthy intros here!
Be clear and concise: Keep your message focused. Instead of packing everything into one post, think about how you can spread your message across a series of quick, engaging points.
Use visuals to reinforce your message: Visuals play a huge role in bite-sized content. Use images, icons, or even short animations to help convey your point faster.
Share actionable tips: Bite-sized content is perfect for quick tips or practical advice. Think of the “one thing” your audience can do right now and share it with them.
WHY WE'RE SHARING ONE TREND AT A TIME
I’ll be releasing one 2025 marketing trend each week throughout December. By focusing on just one trend at a time, we’re making it easier for you to take in and apply these insights as you plan for 2025. It’s also a chance to dive into each topic without overwhelming you with too much information at once.
So, keep an eye out! Every week, I’ll be back with another marketing trend that will help shape your 2025 strategy. Next week, we’ll dive into a new trend that’s about voice-search optimization.
