Enter vibe marketing—the 2025 game-changer buzzing across X, inspired by the hype of vibe coding. Picture this: just as developers tell AI what they want and watch code materialize (@boringmarketer), marketers can now dictate a campaign’s vibe—think “chill eco-warrior meets urban hustle”—and let AI nail the execution.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how marketers will work with AI/agents and what it means.

This isn’t just a tech flex. Vibe marketing flips the script, letting AI crunch data, draft posts, and track KPIs while you, the marketer, own the soul of the brand—its essence, its vibe. X is lit up with this shift: “Meet me at the vibe market,” quips @JordanMix, echoing a growing chorus of pros seeing AI as the ultimate hype man. But here’s the catch—a bell curve is emerging. On one side, CMOs and strategists wielding AI to crush it; on the other, those stuck in manual mode, fading fast. Where do you land in 2025?

Understanding Vibe Marketing
Vibe marketing isn’t jargon—it’s the X-sparked evolution of marketing with AI as your co-pilot. Rooted in vibe coding’s playbook, it’s about humans setting the vision—“make our brand feel bold yet relatable”—while AI handles the grunt work: ads, analytics, even A/B tests. Think of it as dictating your brand’s mood to an AI agent that spits out a campaign, no micromanaging required.
This is sick, if there can be agents that just do the marketing for you from simple prompts, it will be a real game changer

X users get it. @FiloPietra calls it “sick”—AI agents running marketing off simple prompts. The bell curve from @boringmarketer nails the stakes: winners are the CMOs and strategists who orchestrate AI, crafting stories and experiences that stick. Losers? The ones still manually tweaking spreadsheets AI could’ve owned in seconds. The middle? Generalists who need to level up—or get left behind. This isn’t AI stealing jobs; it’s AI handing you the mic to shine.
Why Vibe Marketing Matters in 2025
By 2025, vibe marketing isn’t optional—it’s survival. X is buzzing with proof: AI’s already slashing busywork (think social scheduling, lead scoring) and delivering personalization that scales (ContentGrip). CMOs expect results—80% of execs want AI-savvy hires, and 92% of brands aim to be AI-driven by 2028. Vibe marketing delivers: it cuts costs, boosts output, and frees your team to focus on what drives revenue—killer brand vibes.
Just look at what’s trending on X: @alexgoughcooper dropped a post on March 26, 2025, showcasing AI-generated ad creatives—like a “Birthday Cake” popcorn ad—crafted with Claude and ChatGPT. It’s vibe marketing in action: humans set the playful tone, AI delivers polished visuals, and the thread exploded with hype—“vibe ads are here!” (@marcdomancie). This is the future CMOs are betting on.
Claude for prompting + ChatGPT for static generation is insane.
I made all of these entirely with AI.

Take BNY Mellon’s refresh or Salesforce’s AI-powered campaigns—proof brands are vibing with this already. On X, @gregisenberg dubs it “the new marketing,” and the thread’s electric: pros see AI as the shortcut to standout campaigns. For CMOs, it’s not just cool—it’s ROI: leaner teams, sharper insights, and customers who feel your brand, not just see it.
Remember how VIBE CODING (replit, bolt, lovable) transformed 8-week development cycles into 2-day sprints? The same 20x acceleration is hitting marketing teams RIGHT NOW
It’s called VIBE MARKETING (I’ll explain what it all means).

Actionable Steps to Embrace Vibe Marketing
Ready to vibe? Here’s how to make it work—X-style, with a CMO’s lens on efficiency and impact. These steps come with real examples to show you how it’s done:
1. Audit Your Stack
Pinpoint what AI can own—social posts, data dives, email flows. Tools like ChatGPT or Cody’s AI can cut hours into minutes. Start small, track savings, show your CMO the wins.
- Example: Tell AI, “Create a chill, witty email newsletter for our sustainable clothing brand targeting eco-conscious Gen Z. Drop a 20% discount code.” You get: “Subject: Green Vibes Only: Snag 20% Off. Body: ‘Hey fam, Earth’s coolest threads just dropped—zero waste, all style. Use GREENVIBES20. Shop now, slay sustainably.’” AI handles copy and targeting; you tweak the vibe.
2. Upskill Fast
Learn to steer AI, not sweat the details. X’s vibe coders say it best: “Say stuff, run stuff, it works” (Niall McNulty). Train your team to prompt like pros—strategy over grunt work.
- Example: Prompt AI: “Write a 500-word blog post, ‘Why Sustainable Living is the Ultimate 2025 Vibe,’ for urban millennials. Keep it casual, add stats.” AI drafts: “Living green’s the mood for 2025—73% of millennials pay more for sustainable brands (Nielsen, 2024).” You polish the voice, not the research.
3. Prompt Like a Boss
Test AI with real briefs—“Drop a Gen Z campaign for our sustainable gear.” Refine, iterate, scale. X loves this playfulness—make it your edge (FiloPietra).
- Example: Say, “Design a summer campaign for our eco-friendly skincare line—‘beach bum meets clean beauty’ for coastal millennials. Tagline: Glow Green.” AI delivers: Instagram posts (“Sun, sand, #GlowGreen”), a landing page (“Shop ocean-safe skincare”), and a 15-second video script (“Glow green, guilt-free”). You set the soul; AI builds it fast.
4. Own the Vibe
AI nails execution, but you define the soul—storytelling, tone, that human spark. CMOs crave differentiation; this is it.
- Example: Prompt AI: “Build two personas for our tech gadget brand—‘ambitious but laid-back’ young pros using our smart planner.” AI spits out “Tech-Savvy Tim” (freelancer, hates chaos) and “Hustle Harmony Hana” (marketer, balances hustle). You refine their stories—AI just speeds the grind.
5. Join the Vibe Market
X is your lab—dive into threads, swap prompts, stay ahead. “Meet me at the vibe market,” says @JordanMix—it’s where the action lives.
- Example: Post your AI-crafted campaign on X—”Vibe check: AI nailed this eco-skincare drop in 10 mins. Thoughts?” Watch the community riff, tweak, and hype it up.
Overcoming Challenges
Worried AI will eat your job? Chill—it’s not the villain. X’s take: AI flubs without human vibes steering it. CMOs want oversight—ethical calls, privacy wins, brand alignment. Vibe marketing puts you in the driver’s seat, not the scrap heap. With 75% of execs hunting AI talent, the real risk is not jumping in.
Conclusion
Vibe marketing’s the 2025 flex—AI as your wingman, you as the vibe-setter. X is screaming it: “This is the future” (@gregisenberg). For CMOs, it’s leaner teams, bigger impact, and brands that resonate. Start now—prompt, tweak, win. “Meet me at the vibe market—let’s build something unforgettable!”
