With 2024 speeding toward the finish line, it’s time to prep for the new year! We’re helping clients wrap up their 2024 goals and get ready to hit the ground running in 2025. Here are four crucial steps we’d be tackling with you right now if you were a client—so you’re ready to start the new year with momentum and purpose.
1. Assess Where You’re At With Your Marketing (and Where You Want to Go)
The first step is diving into your analytics to understand what worked well this year and what didn’t. We’d look at both social media and website metrics to identify high-performing content. For example, if a particular Instagram Reel went viral or a blog post drove significant traffic, we’d analyze why it worked—whether it was the timing, the format, or the message—and think about how to replicate its success in the future.
A big part of this process involves repurposing. A great piece of content doesn’t have to be a one-hit wonder. That successful blog post? It could be transformed into social media snippets, an email newsletter, or even an infographic. This way, we’d extend the value of your best content and keep your audience engaged without constantly reinventing the wheel.
2. Set Goals that Align with Your Business Vision
Once we know what’s working, we’d help you set specific, actionable goals for 2025. But it’s not just about setting marketing goals—these goals should align with your broader business objectives. For instance, if one of your business goals is to expand into a new market, we’d craft marketing goals to build awareness in that target area, like increasing engagement from certain demographics or driving regional website traffic with paid advertising.
Setting these goals with intention ensures that every marketing effort contributes directly to your business’s success and growth. We’ll make sure each goal is not only ambitious but also achievable and measurable so you can track your progress throughout the year.
3. Develop a Month-by-Month Plan to Reach Your Goals
Goals are essential, but they’re only the beginning. Achieving those goals requires a detailed roadmap with clear strategies and action steps. We’d break down the year into a month-by-month plan, mapping out when to launch campaigns, what content themes to focus on, and where to allocate budgets. This helps you stay organized, maintain a steady pace, and avoid last-minute scrambling.
For example, if one of your goals is to boost brand awareness in Q1, we’d line up specific campaigns to introduce your brand to new audiences, such as targeted social media ads, collaborations, or seasonal content. A month-by-month plan ensures that every activity builds toward your objectives, keeping you consistent and focused.
4. Lighten the Load with Tech and Trends
As part of our 2025 strategy, we’d explore ways to work smarter, not harder, by incorporating emerging tech and trends. AI is transforming the way we analyze data, create content, and engage with audiences, and using these tools can give your marketing efforts a serious boost.
Just recently, we used ChatGPT to analyze a massive set of data—a task that would normally take hours. The insights generated allowed us to make quicker, data-driven decisions, freeing up time for creative tasks. Whether it’s using AI to draft content outlines, assist with customer service, or simplify data analysis, technology can make a big difference in reducing workload and enhancing efficiency.
