Generative AI has quickly become part of the marketing toolkit. Businesses use tools such as ChatGPT to help write blog articles, landing pages, product descriptions, emails and social media posts. With the transparency provisions of the EU AI Act applying from 2 August 2026, this raises an obvious question: Do you now need to tell website visitors whenever AI was used to create content? For most businesses using AI as part of a normal content creation process, the answer is no. But there are some important distinctions to understand.

Most outbound sales motion looks the same: buy a list, blast emails, hope for the best. Conversion rates hover around 1–2%, reps burn out, and the pipeline looks thin.

Where marketers previously relied mainly on experience and historical results, they can now use predictive analytics to better anticipate what lies ahead. This development has a significant impact on how companies approach customers, optimize campaigns, and make strategic decisions.

The marketing world stands on the brink of a fascinating paradox. While artificial intelligence and automation offer unprecedented possibilities, consumers are simultaneously demanding authenticity and human connection. 2026 will be the year in which brands must find this balance, or pay the price of becoming irrelevant.

With the increasing digitisation of marketing, sales and customer service, the use of AI is here to stay. Companies are looking for ways to work more efficiently, use data smarter and serve their customers better. HubSpot is capitalising on this with their new AI solution: HubSpot Breeze. In this blog, I'll take you through Breeze's various functionalities and how they can help your business scale up, streamline processes and strengthen customer relationships.

The marketing world is changing faster than ever. New technologies, changing consumer behaviour and innovative strategies mean that marketers need to constantly anticipate the future. What will be on the agenda in 2025? This blog lists the most important marketing trends for 2025.

Over the past twelve months, the way people search for information online has changed dramatically. While Google has long been the undisputed king of search engines, we now see a shift towards alternatives such as privacy-focused search engines (DuckDuckGo, Ecosia) and, more importantly, AI-driven tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. This trend raises the question: is optimizing a website for search engines still sufficient, or should there also be a focus on tools like ChatGPT?
