As 2025 comes to a close, it’s clear this wasn’t a comfortable year for B2B marketing.
AI didn’t politely “arrive.” It changed how buyers discover information, how decisions get made, and how visibility is earned. Traffic became less predictable. Funnels got messier. And the teams relying on old playbooks felt it fast.
Through the noise, the Orange Marketing team stayed focused on what actually works: building durable systems, telling the truth about what’s changing, and helping B2B teams grow without gambling on tactics that won’t hold up.
