Introduction
The internet is crowded. AI tools can produce endless blogs, captions, and videos. Audiences are overwhelmed and skeptical. The danger is clear: generic content no longer works.
Content marketing in 2025 is about standing out with originality, authority, and human connection. Brands that publish less but with higher quality will win attention and trust.
This blog explores why originality is the new currency, how AI should be used wisely, and what strategies lead to real results.
The Problem With Generic Content
- Over-saturation: AI floods the internet with repetitive material.
