    Yeah! That's why most growth-track companies are now moving towards incorporating UGC strategies in their marketing plans. "People trust people" very true

    Absolutely seeing it, Hamza! Community-led growth is like marketingโ€™s glow-up moment! ๐ŸŒŸ People trust real voices and real stories way more than a glossy ad, and honestly, who doesnโ€™t love that warm โ€œweโ€™re in this togetherโ€ feeling? And hey, as someone working on a product myself (shoutout to pdftopdf for anyone who loves a smooth PDF workflow ๐Ÿ˜‰), I totally get the power of listening to your community.

    User-generated content works the best I believe, the challenge is to get users (even fans) to create content about your product.

    @natalia_toth so true, getting users to share their experiences is challenging but so rewarding :)

    Totally agree! Community-led growth is where it's at. People trust authentic stories and experiences from real users way more than slick marketing campaigns these days. It's all about building genuine connections and letting your passionate community be your best advocates. Any AI tools out there to help foster and grow brand communities? Would love to explore how AI could support this shift toward community-led growth in 2025 and beyond!

    Definitely! Community-led growth is the way forward. People trust real stories and experiences from their peers way more than slick marketing. Focus on enabling your biggest fans to share authentic content about your brand. Empower employee advocates too. Build genuine connections and let your community do the selling for you. 2025 will be all about keeping it real!

    The shift toward deeper engagement with communities and genuine fan connections became evident when platforms like Twitch gained traction. But my top marketing trend for 2025 is the rise of 360 Marketing Automation platforms. These platforms are set to thrive, especially now that text-to-image technology has reached a ready state. Content solutions like Jasper already showcase the potential for streamlined content creation. Once these tools are integrated, weโ€™re likely to see comprehensive solutions that manage and optimize content across all channels automatically.

    @felix_sattler Love where you're headed with this, Do you rreally think as 360 Marketing Automation evolves, itโ€™ll be easy for brands to keep that authentic, personal touch? Or will automation risk making things feel a bit too... automated?

    @hamza_afzal_butt to be honest: the days of โ€œautomation means less personalizationโ€ are over. I see a near future where Marketing Automation tools will not only support personalized engagement but also help us identify the most suitable target audiences for our products. A friend mentioned something a few weeks ago that really stuck with me: "The best automations are the ones you donโ€™t even notice." And thatโ€™s exactly the direction weโ€™re heading in my opinion.
