THE 2025 AI INDEX REPORT

The 2025 edition of Stanford's AI Index Report found that AI is increasingly embedded in everyday life. AI performance is improving rapidly, with benchmark scores rising by up to 67.3 percentage points in one year and language models sometimes outperforming humans in coding tasks. Business investment in AI reached $109.1 billion in the U.S. alone, and 78% of organizations now use AI, up from 55% in 2023. The U.S. leads in model output, but China is closing the quality gap while dominating in publications and patents. Governments are increasing regulation and investment, but global optimism and education access remain uneven.

DOES EVERY MARKETING CHANNEL *ACTUALLY* SUCK RIGHT NOW?

Marketing in 2025 is harder but not hopeless. Big, traditional channels like SEO and ads are saturated, but still useful when approached strategically. Emerging “little channels” like community and influencer marketing are becoming more scalable thanks to new tools. Success now depends on strong products and standout marketing—differentiation is key. Human-centered, creative, and trust-based marketing is rising in value, and teams need to stay nimble, make focused bets, and avoid one-size-fits-all playbooks.

DARK COLORS MAKE PRODUCTS SEEM MORE EFFECTIVE

Darker packaging makes products seem stronger and more effective, leading to higher purchase interest. In experiments, 65% preferred a darker anti-hair loss shampoo, judging it 12.3% better, and were 6.9% more likely to buy other personal care items with dark packaging. However, dark colors also raise concerns about side effects, which can reduce purchase intent, especially for sensitive products. Lighter packaging is better when safety is a key concern, such as for children's medicines or skincare for sensitive users.

UX NEEDS A BIGGER JOB - STARTING WITH EVERYONE

UX in D2C marketing needs to move beyond efficiency to reflect the diversity of users, integrating accessibility and emotional resonance into every touchpoint. When brands ignore users with disabilities or those less familiar with tech, they lose potential revenue and loyalty. Great UX means syncing every touchpoint, from personalized emails to checkout flows, into a cohesive and inclusive experience. Designing for the edges, like one-handed navigation or high-contrast visuals, improves the experience for everyone and turns usability into real impact.
