Is Your Social Media Strategy Still Working? How AI and Custom GPTs Are Changing Marketing in 2025.
If you’re posting consistently but not seeing the growth, engagement, or results you expected, you’re not alone. Social media has changed dramatically in the last year, and many businesses are finding that the strategy they relied on simply isn’t working anymore.
Why Social Media Strategies Stop Working
Most social media strategies stall because they don’t adapt quickly enough. Platforms evolve constantly.
What’s shifted:
- Audiences want honesty and storytelling
- Algorithms prioritise engagement over frequency
- Static posting schedules feel outdated
- People want content that feels real, not polished
- AI is transforming content creation
The AI Shift, And Why Marketers Should Care
There’s confusion around AI, especially between OpenAI (the company) and ChatGPT (the tool). The only reason that distinction matters is because it leads to something far more powerful: Custom GPTs.
What Is a Custom GPT?
A Custom GPT is a personalised version of ChatGPT trained around a specific brand.
I build custom GPTs for clients so they can:
- Use their exact tone of voice
- Follow brand guidelines

- Support SEO and campaigns
