But if you're wondering where it's actually moving the needle, this next trend isn't.
[Music] More than half of marketers use AI for writing, making it the top AI use case.
We're not just talking blog posts. It's
emails, social scripts, ads, product copy, you name it. Why? Because it's
flexible and it fits pretty much into any marketing workflow. Here's why it matters. AI speeds up writing, helps

stories. Test different formats. Use
tools like ChatBT or HubSpot Breeze to generate social captions, blog intros, or email subject lines. And then test which ones your audience actually clicks
on. And repurpose everything. One blog
on. And repurpose everything. One blog
post can become multiple social posts, emails, and a YouTube script. You
already did the work. AI just stretches it further. But here's the thing. Text

might not stay the king of AI forever.
There is a shift happening and it's coming fast, which we'll talk about in a second. But first, let's talk about how

HubSpot's AI trends report, 56% of marketers are learning through free videos like this one. By the way, if you're liking it so far, make sure to give it a thumbs up to let me know. Most
marketers are self-taught in AI using YouTube, company trainings, and online courses. Only 7% aren't learning at all.

Okay, let's talk about multimodal AI and why it's about to change the game.
[Music] AI doesn't just write. It watches, it listens, it designs, it edits, and it does it all together. This is multimodal
AI tools that can handle text, video, audio, and images all in one place.
Think chatbt generating visuals from a blog. Gemini watching a YouTube video

Descript letting you edit video just by cutting words from a transcript. These
tools don't just help you make content.
They're becoming a creative partner in the whole process. Here's why this matters. Multimodal tools scale your
matters. Multimodal tools scale your content faster. One idea becomes a full
content faster. One idea becomes a full campaign, no handoffs. And here's how you can stay ahead. Use AI design tools like Canva Magic or Dolly to help you
create thumbnails, product mockups, and social graphics in seconds, even if you have zero design skills. Try textbased
editors like Dscript. Edit a video simply by editing text. And repurpose
across formats. Take a blog post and turn it into a narrated video with a tool like Synthesia or HubSpot's Clip Creator. One piece of content can become
Creator. One piece of content can become a week's worth with minimal extra work.
So now we're creating more content in more formats at record speed. But with
all of this power at our fingertips, the real game changer isn't just what AI can create. It's what it can personalize.
create. It's what it can personalize.
AI isn't just segmenting by audience.
It's customizing content for each person. For example, the demand
person. For example, the demand generation team at HubSpot used AI to collect business URLs, identify company size, and map out content interests.
They then ran it through an AI system to generate custom content for each user.
The result, 82% higher conversion rates, 30% higher open rates, 50% higher click-through rates. Those are massive
click-through rates. Those are massive lifts. all from moving beyond a

matters. Audiences expect personalization now and small teams can finally deliver it. Irrelevant content
just won't convert. So here's how you can stay ahead. Use AI to analyze behavior, not just demographics. Tools
like HubSpot can help you segment based on interests, past clicks, or content engagement. Personalize follow-ups.

Someone who downloaded your beginner guide needs a different next step than someone who booked a demo. Let AI tailor the follow-up. But how do you do that?
the follow-up. But how do you do that?
Build smart email workflows with tools like HubSpot's AI powered breeze. So now
your content is smarter, more targeted, and actually getting results. But here's
the thing. Hyperpersonalization only
works if your tools can actually support it. So how do you choose the right tools
it. So how do you choose the right tools without getting overwhelmed? That's what
we're diving into next.
[Music] Marketers today use five or more AI tools on average, but more tools doesn't always mean better results. So, how are
they deciding which one's worth using?
48% rely on peer reviews, and 47% test tools with a free trial. That tells us that this isn't just about flashy features. It's about real results and
features. It's about real results and firsthand feedback. And the tool

existing workflows. In fact, HubSpot found that the more seamlessly AI integrates into your tools, the more likely teams are to actually use it.
That is huge for marketers juggling a million platforms. Take HubSpot for example. They recently launched an
example. They recently launched an integration with OpenAI. You can now connect your HubSpot CRM directly to Chat GBT to research your audience, generate outreach, and build campaigns,
all without leaving your workflow.
Here's why it matters. Marketers don't
need more tools. They need the right ones. Seamless AI integrations save
ones. Seamless AI integrations save time, reduce overwhelm, and make adoption way easier for busier teams. And here's how you can stay ahead. Try
before you buy. Free trials help you validate value fast. Ask your network or peers what they're using and how they're finding it. And make sure to choose
finding it. And make sure to choose tools that integrate with your current stack. However, even with a solid tool
stack. However, even with a solid tool stack, you can't just assume it's working. Let's talk about how to measure
working. Let's talk about how to measure the actual impact.
[Music] AI is exciting, but is it actually working? A lot of marketers say that
working? A lot of marketers say that they're using AI, but they're not tracking what it's doing for their business. And that's a problem. Here's
business. And that's a problem. Here's
why it matters. Teams tracking AI's impact are moving faster, optimizing smarter, and making stronger cases for budget. Clear return on investment isn't

optional. It's your green light to scale with confidence. So, here's how to stay
with confidence. So, here's how to stay ahead. Benchmark before and after. Pick
ahead. Benchmark before and after. Pick
a task that you've automated, like blog writing or email scripting, and compare time, open rates, or lead quality. Track
exact time saved. Saying AI saves time isn't enough. Quantify it. That data is
isn't enough. Quantify it. That data is budget leverage. And finally, label and
budget leverage. And finally, label and track AI campaigns in your customer relationships management tool. With
HubSpot, for example, you can tag AI assisted content and compare performance over time. What's actually moving the

worth it. But even if your internal marketing engine is running smoothly, what about how people are actually finding your content? Because that's
where AI is shaking things up next. And
if you're not adapting, your visibility may already be slipping.
[Music] If your SEO strategy still revolves around keywords and Google rankings, it's time for a reality check. AI is
rewriting the search playbook. People
aren't just googling anymore. They're
chatting with AI tools like ChatgBT, Gemini, and Google's new search generative experience or SGE. Quick
example, the other day I needed to check what plants were toxic to cats. I didn't
Google it. I asked Chat GBT and instead of 10 links, I got a clear summarized answer. Google's search generative
answer. Google's search generative experience is even replacing top search snippets with AI generated summaries. If
your content isn't getting picked up in those summaries, it might not even be getting seen at all. HubSpot breaks this all down in detail on page 34 of the AI trends report, and they even link to a
full AI search strategy guide. But for
now, here's what you can do to stay ahead. Test AI like your customers

businesses. See what content gets surfaced. That's your road map. Format
surfaced. That's your road map. Format
your content for answers, not just clicks. Use headings, bullets, and
clicks. Use headings, bullets, and clear, expert-backed answers. AI tools
prioritize content that's scannable and quotable. And focus on building deep

blog posts. Go deep on your niche with structured, clustered content. AI favors
sources that feel like experts. AI is
changing how people find content, not just how we create it. If you're not adapting your search strategy, you could be invisible. All right, we just covered
