Should Brands Still Invest in Facebook Groups in 2025? The Answer Might Surprise You

In 2025, Facebook Groups are still one of the most underrated tools in a brand’s marketing arsenal. But their effectiveness depends on how you use them.

Why They Still Work

Facebook may feel “old” compared to TikTok or Instagram, but it’s still home to over 3 billion active users, and 1.8 billion people use Groups. That’s nearly a quarter of the world’s population. Unlike brand Pages, Group posts enjoy higher organic reach thanks to the algorithm prioritising active conversations. Users also engage more deeply, with posts often surpassing the platform’s average engagement rate.

The Real Power: Niche Communities

The strongest Groups aren’t massive free-for-alls, they’re tight, value-driven spaces built for a specific audience. Think insider tips, peer support, and exclusive perks. These smaller, focused communities build trust faster and turn casual followers into loyal advocates.

More Than Marketing

Groups double as customer service hubs, feedback loops, and even revenue channels. Meta has expanded features like paid memberships, sub-groups, live chats, and member rewards, making Groups more versatile than ever.

What Doesn’t Work

Treating a Group as a dumping ground for promotions is a fast way to kill engagement. Broad, unfocused groups that lack value for members fizzle out quickly.

Winning in 2025

The key is creating a private, niche community that sparks peer-to-peer engagement. Polls, Q&As, and member spotlights keep conversations alive. Recognising your most active members strengthens loyalty, while monetisation tools can add direct revenue streams. And if you blend Facebook Groups with other platforms like WhatsApp Communities or Reddit, you’ll amplify your reach.

Facebook Groups aren’t relics but relationship engines. When brands focus on authenticity, value, and interaction over hard selling, Groups can become one of the most cost-effective ways to build loyalty, gain insights, and turn customers into advocates in 2025.

Decoding Gen Z: The Language That Drives Conversions

Gen Z doesn’t just scroll fast, they speak a whole new digital dialect. And if you want their clicks, attention, and loyalty, you need to learn how to speak it too.

Forget textbook grammar. Gen Z’s language is built on slang, syntax experiments, and layered meaning. It’s less about polished messaging and more about sounding real. When brands reflect that tone, they don’t just fit in; they stand out.

Words like “vibe,” “slay,” or “rizz” aren’t just filler. They’re signals. They say: this brand gets me. That sense of being seen is what builds trust and makes a campaign feel like a conversation, not a pitch.

This shift goes beyond slang. Gen Z’s syntax is casual, sometimes chaotic. All lowercase, a sprinkle of emojis, and captions that trail off… It looks unpolished on purpose. That’s how they signal authenticity. If your ad copy is too tight, too perfect, it risks sounding out of touch.

Subtext is another layer. Gen Z often uses language to make statements without saying things outright. That could be a wink to social values, a reference to a trend, or humor that lives in irony. The best campaigns mirror that nuance.

They don’t explain the joke…they’re in on it.

It’s not just about sounding cool. This style actually performs. When brands tap into Gen Z’s language, ads get more shares, more likes, and more conversions. Why? Because it breaks down the wall between company and consumer. It feels like it’s coming from someone they’d follow, not someone trying to sell.

Look at Gucci’s TikTok campaigns. Swapping “it’s good” for “it’s Gucci” wasn’t just clever, it made the brand feel like part of the culture. And it worked: they saw over $20 million in NFT sales tied to their Gen Z-focused rollout.

For brands trying to connect, the takeaway is simple: speak their language. But do it with care. Stay current. Keep it natural. Don’t force slang that doesn’t fit your voice. Relevance is everything, and Gen Z can spot the difference between fluent and fake in a second.

Why Quiet Marketing Is Winning in 2025

Not every brand needs to shout to be heard.

In 2025, the brands making the most noise aren’t necessarily the ones getting the most attention. A new trend is taking hold, and it’s quiet, intentional, and rooted in storytelling.

Quiet marketing is all about subtlety. Instead of aggressive sales pitches and hyped-up promises, it leans on authenticity, emotional resonance, and clean, minimalist presentation. The goal isn’t to push a product. It’s to build trust and connection over time.

This works for a few reasons.

First, audiences are tired of being bombarded. Popups, power words, and countdown clocks? Most of us scroll right past. Quiet marketing stands out because it doesn’t try too hard. It respects the audience. It earns their attention instead of demanding it.

Second, it invites emotional depth. Campaigns that focus on real stories, founder journeys, or shared values create space for people to care, not just click. Dove’s Real Beauty campaign is a classic example. No loud slogans. Just a message that resonated. And it doubled their sales.

Third, quiet marketing is sustainable. You don’t need to constantly outdo yourself with louder hooks or bigger ad spend. You build slow, steady momentum by focusing on substance. Over time, that creates loyal audiences who trust you, and stay with you.

So how do you do it?

Use fewer words and make them count. Share personal stories. Let customers speak for you. Ditch the forced urgency and lean into consistency. Instead of asking for a sale in every post, open a conversation.

This approach won’t win every click. But it builds something stronger: a brand people actually remember.

Do Emojis Actually Boost Click-Through Rates? Here’s What the Data Says

Emojis might seem like a cute add-on, but they’re proving to be serious performance drivers in ad copy, email subject lines, and social posts. Across multiple platforms and formats, the numbers show that when used well, these small visuals can deliver big results.

Let’s start with ads. Facebook ads with emojis see an average click-through rate of 9.2%, far above the industry benchmark of 0.4%. One A/B test found that a headline with just a single emoji outperformed its plain-text version in both clicks and overall engagement.

Tweets from brands and influencers show a similar pattern, posts with emojis often pull in 30–40% more clicks and cost 20% less per click.

In email, the impact is even more dramatic. Emojis in subject lines have been shown to increase open and click-through rates by as much as 56%, with some campaigns seeing up to a 93% lift. They help messages stand out in crowded inboxes and tap into emotional triggers, if used thoughtfully. It’s not a one-size-fits-all tactic, though.

Highly formal or B2B audiences may be turned off by emoji use, which makes segmented testing essential.

When it comes to social media, posts with emojis consistently earn more interaction, about 48% more, according to several reports. Brands that use emojis well appear more human and relatable. They grab the eye, convey tone instantly, and can subtly reinforce the emotional message of a post.

This is especially effective when promoting lifestyle or consumer products, where tone and visual rhythm matter just as much as the offer.

But here’s the catch: results depend on relevance and tone. Emojis that feel random or forced can come off as gimmicky or disingenuous. They work best when they feel like a natural extension of your brand’s voice and content strategy.

So, are emojis just fluff? Not at all. They can be a powerful tool to boost engagement and CTR, if you know your audience and use them with intention.

From Brainstorm to Broadcast: How Generative AI Is Changing the Marketing Game

Campaign planning used to take weeks. Now it takes hours, thanks to generative AI.

Marketers are tapping into tools like ChatGPT to dream up creative angles, map out campaign flows, and even write full email sequences in minutes. No more waiting on that one “big idea”, AI can give you ten before lunch.

It’s not just about ideas, though. AI is cranking out ad copy, social posts, video scripts, and personalized emails, tailored for different audience segments, languages, and channels. Think less time writing, more time testing.

And the best part? These tools don’t stop at launch.

They track performance in real time, flag what’s flopping, and even suggest what to fix, before your budget goes down the drain.

Need to personalize for 10,000 people? AI’s got you. Want to translate that campaign into five languages? Done. Want to see which creative is converting and why? Already on it.

But the whole point is not to simply work faster, it’s to be smarter. Generative AI is turning marketing from a guessing game into a feedback loop that learns, adapts, and scales.

So no, it’s not supposed to replace marketers; it’s supposed to upgrade them.

Ready or not, this is what modern campaign planning looks like.

The Rise of the Unfiltered Feed: Why Plain Text Is Winning Again

Text-only posts are making a surprising comeback, and they’re not just for old-school bloggers or LinkedIn lurkers anymore.

In a sea of polished carousels, flashy Reels, and AI-generated everything, plain text feels… real. No filters, no stock images, just you and your words. And that’s exactly why it’s working.

Text-only posts stop the scroll because they don’t scream for attention. They invite it. The lack of noise makes readers focus on the message, something we rarely get in today’s overstimulated feeds.

Platforms are rewarding it too. LinkedIn and Facebook tend to show text-based posts more love in the algorithm. People stick around longer to read, which boosts your visibility. No media? No problem. The words carry the weight.

It’s also faster to produce. Just thoughts turned into posts. This levels the playing field for creators who don’t have big budgets but have big ideas.

And best of all? It’s accessible. Loads fast, reads easy, works everywhere.

Want to test it? Write a short post with a bold opinion. End with a question. Skip the image. Watch what happens.

Turns out, in a world obsessed with content “creators,” the simple act of saying something meaningful is what really breaks through.

The Search Shift: Why Gen Z Turns to TikTok Before Google

For Gen Z, Google is no longer the default. When they need answers, inspiration, or recommendations, they open TikTok.

It’s not just a content platform, it’s a search engine, reimagined for a generation that prefers videos over text, peers over experts, and authenticity over polish.

Instead of clicking through blue links and SEO-stuffed blog posts, Gen Z watches short, relatable clips that show real people solving real problems. Want to know the best ramen spot in your city? There’s a 30-second TikTok for that, complete with a walkthrough, review, and vibe check.

TikTok’s “For You” page often anticipates their needs before they even type anything in. It feels less like searching and more like discovering, which fits perfectly with how Gen Z consumes content.

And the trust factor? Massive. They don’t want brand voices or paid ads dressed up as advice. They want firsthand experiences, honest opinions, and social validation (just check the comment section). That’s why hashtags like have billions of views.

The numbers back it up:
74% of Gen Z uses TikTok search, and over half say they prefer it to Google. Even Google admits nearly 40% of young people skip Search and Maps in favor of TikTok and Instagram.

This isn’t a phase, it’s a new playbook.

If your brand isn’t thinking in TikToks yet, you’re not just missing a platform. You’re missing the future of search.

The Rise of AI Avatars: How Brands Are Creating 24/7 Digital Ambassadors

In 2025, your brand doesn’t sleep, and neither do your AI avatars.

More companies are building AI personas: digital brand reps that show up anywhere your customer does. From websites to chat apps, social platforms to webinars, these avatars are powered by AI, built with personality, and designed to talk, listen, and engage—any time, in any language.

It all starts with data. Brands feed AI models everything from their tone of voice and brand values to customer demographics and product details. The AI then crafts a persona that reflects exactly how the brand should sound and act. And it doesn’t stay static, these avatars evolve as more data comes in, constantly refining their language and behavior to stay relevant.
Natural language processing makes the experience feel human. AI avatars can use brand-specific phrasing, humour, or emotional tone while holding a real conversation. Visually, they range from animated mascots to photorealistic digital humans, fully customizable, right down to how they nod, blink, or gesture.

And they don’t just sit on your homepage. Today’s best avatars are deployed everywhere: guiding users through sites, answering product questions in DMs, qualifying leads during webinars, or moderating forums. They’re scalable, multilingual, and most importantly, always consistent.

The impact? Brands are cutting support costs, improving response times, and collecting valuable insights from every interaction. Companies like Personal AI, MediaMonk.ai, and EyeSpy360 are already leading the way, creating tailored, engaging digital personas that are always on-message and always available.

If you’re ready to build one, it starts with defining your brand voice, then picking a tech partner, designing the avatar’s personality, and launching it across your key channels. From there, it’s all about refinement.

Because when your brand lives online 24/7, it needs a face that never blinks.

How Emotions Are Quietly Powering Conversions in 2025

You can’t measure a gut feeling. Or at least, that’s what marketers used to believe. But in 2025, emotional response data isn’t just measurable, it’s quietly becoming one of the most powerful tools in performance marketing.

Today’s tools can read a lot more than clicks. Facial recognition software tracks micro-expressions to detect flashes of joy or surprise. Voice analytics picks up shifts in tone during customer calls. Even wearable devices are capturing heart rate and skin conductance to reveal emotional arousal during product demos or ads. Add in behavioral signals like scrolling, time-on-page, or sudden exits, and the emotional map becomes even clearer.

The real game-changer? We can now assign scores to these emotional signals. Software quantifies the intensity of reactions, labels emotions like trust or excitement, and creates aggregated “emotional scores” for every user session, ad, or video watched. Natural language tools are also scanning reviews and social posts to detect emotional sentiment from text.

But where this data becomes most valuable is when it’s tied to conversions. Brands are syncing emotional response data with purchase behavior to find patterns. Did excitement spike right before a user signed up? Was hesitation a warning sign of cart abandonment? With predictive models and emotional heatmaps, marketers can see exactly which moments, messages, and creatives hit the emotional sweet spot, and which ones fall flat.

This isn’t just about understanding how people feel. It’s about using those feelings to drive action.

In a digital landscape where logic alone no longer drives conversions, emotional scoring is helping brands tap into what really moves people, and proving, with data, that feelings can be measured, optimized, and scaled.

Writing for Every Brain: UX Strategies That Actually Work in 2025

We’re finally moving past the idea that accessibility is just about screen readers and color contrast. In 2025, writing and designing for neurodiverse users, those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and beyond, is no longer a niche concern.

It’s a must.

The shift is real. New standards like the Neurodiversity Design System (NDS) and the UK’s PAS 6463 aren’t just checklists. They’re blueprints for creating calm, predictable, and empowering experiences. And when it comes to writing, the best UX writers are adapting fast.

The rule? Clarity first. That means cutting the fluff, ditching the metaphors, and saying exactly what you mean. “Start your free trial” works. “Unlock the magic” doesn’t. Chunking content into short, digestible steps helps users process information without overload. Using direct action words like “Continue” or “Go back” beats vague or playful phrasing every time.

Fonts matter too. Sans serif fonts like Arial and Verdana aren’t just aesthetic choices, they actually reduce visual stress for many neurodiverse users. And giving people control over text size, contrast, or motion makes your content usable, not just pretty.

Most importantly, neuroinclusive writing is consistent. It doesn’t surprise users with unexpected layouts or quirky labels. Instead, it builds trust through patterns, structure, and clear feedback when things go wrong.

Here’s the secret: when you write for neurodiverse brains, everyone benefits. Cleaner copy. Less confusion. Happier users. It’s not about lowering standards.

It’s about raising them, for all.

Niche Communities vs. Influencers: Who Really Drives Engagement and Trust in 2025?

In today’s digital landscape, reach isn’t everything. Brands chasing short-term visibility often lean on influencers, but those chasing long-term loyalty are looking somewhere else: niche communities.

Engagement: Depth Beats Breadth

Niche communities, like a Discord for indie game developers or a subreddit for sustainable skincare, run on interaction, not influence. Their members participate, comment, share, and co-create.

Compare that to influencer audiences: macro influencers might hit 1–3% engagement, while micro influencers land closer to 5–10%. Still, most of that is one-way. Engagement spikes around content drops, then disappears. Communities? They talk every day.

Trust: Peer-Led vs Persona-Driven

Trust is built differently in communities. Members don’t see each other as “influencers.” They see each other as peers. Advice is shared, not sold, and it shows in the numbers. McKinsey reports community-led programs boost retention and LTV by up to 10x.

Influencers can still build trust, especially micro or niche ones. Their recommendations feel personal, not paid. But with macro or celebrity influencers, skepticism runs higher. A tag isn’t always a deal-breaker, but it better align with their values or it backfires.

What’s Working in 2025?

The best campaigns do both.

Brands that join communities, partnering with moderators or creators inside them, and also work with influencers embedded in those same circles, build real credibility and scale.

Reach gets attention. Communities build loyalty. Blend both, and do it with transparency, for campaigns that actually move the needle.

Post-Cookie Ads Aren’t the End, They’re the Upgrade

In 2025, third-party cookies are fading, but smart marketers aren’t panicking. They’re pivoting.

With privacy regulations tightening and platforms pulling back on tracking, the old way of doing targeted ads just doesn’t cut it. But here’s the upside: what’s replacing it is smarter, faster, and better for trust.

First-party data is now king. Brands are leaning into loyalty programs, website interactions, and email engagement to fuel segmentation and personalization, from the ground up. Contextual targeting has had a full glow-up too. It’s no longer about keywords, it’s AI-powered, semantic, and surprisingly accurate.

Even better? Predictive content is picking up the slack.

AI now predicts what users want before they even search. Dynamic creative adapts to their mood, moment, or device. And cross-channel personalization ensures the message stays consistent whether someone’s on your site, in your app, or walking into your store.

Yes, retargeting is harder. But what you gain is trust, transparency, and engagement that feels more human, less creepy.

In 2025, ad performance isn’t about following people around the internet. It’s about being relevant when it counts, and respectful the rest of the time.
