pin with words: Your Ultimate Guide to Planning for 2025_ A Fresh Approach to Marketing Strategy by Jen Vazquez Media

As we approach the new year, it’s time to gear up with a marketing plan that truly works for your business. My planning process isn’t the typical “set-it-and-forget-it” kind of deal—it’s a hands-on, data-driven, and creative workflow that ensures your content is not only fresh but also impactful.

Let’s dive into my step-by-step process for 2025, combining insights, AI tools, and strategic repurposing to simplify and supercharge your marketing efforts.

Step 1: Reviewing Last Year’s Content Performance

Before you can plan ahead, you need to look back. Start by analyzing the content you created in 2024 using tools like Google Search Console. Here’s what to focus on:

  • Identify your top-performing content based on impressions and clicks.
  • Look for pages with high impressions but low clicks (opportunities to optimize).
  • Pinpoint content that consistently ranks well and aligns with your goals for 2025.

Doing this gives you a clear picture of what resonates with your audience and what areas need improvement.

Detailed insights in Part 1 of the series.

Step 2: Quarterly Planning Based on Data

With your performance review in hand, it’s time to map out your strategy. I recommend a quarterly approach to content planning:

  1. Set quarterly themes: Break down your yearly goals into smaller, more manageable themes that guide your content focus for each quarter.
  2. Leverage data insights: Use analytics to decide what topics or keywords to target. Focus on what’s already working and explore related areas to expand your reach.

By planning in quarters, you allow flexibility to pivot as needed while keeping your efforts aligned with long-term goals.

Step 3: Picking Core Content and Using AI

Core content is the backbone of your marketing strategy. These are the cornerstone pieces that you’ll repurpose throughout the year. Here’s how to choose them:

  • Select 4–6 main topics aligned with your audience’s pain points and interests.
  • Use AI tools like ChatGPT to brainstorm headlines, outlines, or even full drafts to save time and stay creative.

This approach ensures your content is not only intentional but also scalable.

Explore this process in Part 3.

Step 4: Leveraging AI for Social Media

Once your core content is set, extend its life by creating social media posts. Here’s my formula:

  1. Break down each blog post into smaller chunks or bite-sized tips.
  2. Use AI to craft engaging captions, tweets, or even Instagram carousel copy.
  3. Match your social posts with visuals or videos to maximize engagement.

By using AI strategically, you’ll keep your social feeds active without starting from scratch every time.

Step 5: Repurposing Old Content That Ranks

Don’t let high-performing content gather dust! Repurposing is the ultimate way to maximize your efforts:

  • Update older blog posts with fresh data, new links, or optimized keywords.
  • Transform a popular blog into a podcast episode, video, or infographic.
  • Share evergreen content regularly to new audiences.

AI can help here too by suggesting updated headlines, summarizing old posts, or drafting new formats for your content.

Learn more about repurposing in Part 5.

Why This Process Works

By blending data insights, creativity, and AI tools, this process makes planning more efficient and impactful. You’ll spend less time creating content and more time engaging with your audience. Plus, by repurposing your best work, you’re not reinventing the wheel—you’re optimizing it for maximum reach.
