The 2025 AI and Marketing Performance Index
A data-driven report on how high-performing teams are accelerating the marketing cycle.
A new study from GrowthLoop and Ascend2 Research reveals a growing disconnect between the hype around AI and the lived experiences of marketing leaders. The research, based on responses from over 300 senior marketers across North America, shows that while AI adoption is on the rise, teams still struggle with marketing performance and speed.
The 2025 AI and Marketing Performance Index reveals that 89% of marketers agree the pressure to achieve better results in less time has increased significantly in the last two years, yet just 22% believe their current strategies are driving fast growth.
Report highlights
In this report, you’ll discover:
- How high-performing teams use AI to grow revenue and deliver high-impact results
- How teams are leveraging AI within their marketing cycles, from audience segmentation to insights
