Journal Entry: August 15, 2035
Today has been an interesting day in the world of marketing. As a specialist in this field, it’s fascinating to witness how persuasion techniques have evolved to where they are in 2035. What was once a simple game of psychology and content strategies has now become a complex and highly personalized field of human interaction.
Looking back, I remember how, in the 2020s, marketing and persuasion were deeply intertwined but in a rudimentary way. Brands tried to capture consumers’ attention with striking messages, irresistible offers, and endless campaigns that promised to change our lives. Yet, despite all these efforts, the challenge was always truly understanding the audience and connecting with them on a deeper level.
Here in 2035, we’ve perfected the art of persuasion to levels that would have seemed like science fiction just a decade ago. Now, persuasion is not just about compelling messages but understanding the human mind in real time. Thanks to the integration of neuroscience and advanced technology, marketing campaigns now adapt to users’ emotions and moods at the exact moment they interact with a brand.
I recall how, about 15 years ago, there was a lot of talk about the importance of data in personalizing user experiences. Back then, data-driven marketing was considered cutting-edge, but now we see that as the first step toward what we’ve achieved today: almost imperceptible persuasion, where purchase decisions feel as natural as breathing.
Today, AI has taken persuasion to a level where it not only anticipates consumers’ needs but shapes them. Algorithms don’t just show us what we want to see; they gently guide us toward what we should want. It’s no longer just about presenting products or services that align with our interests; it’s about creating those interests in the first place, building a desire that didn’t exist before.
Persuasion techniques in 2035 have also embraced an ethical approach that was widely debated in the 2020s. Transparency has become the foundation of any marketing strategy. While the power of persuasion has grown exponentially, brands know that any perceived manipulation could be disastrous. Now, consumers trust that brands are acting with integrity, because trust is the new currency in marketing.
It’s impressive to see how the old principles of persuasion—like reciprocity, scarcity, and authority—have been reinterpreted and amplified in this new context. In 2035, when we talk about persuasion, we’re referring to an experience so personalized that the consumer doesn’t just feel understood but valued. And it is this feeling that drives purchasing decisions, far more than any ad or promotion.

Looking ahead, I wonder where the future will take us in terms of marketing and persuasion. How far can we go in understanding and leveraging the human mind? While we’ve come a long way from the days of generic ads and mass emails, I dare say the journey is just beginning. Persuasion in marketing has always been—and will always be—an art in constant evolution.
As I close this entry, I reflect on how marketing is no longer just a tool for selling products. In 2035, it’s an ongoing conversation, a dance between what the brand offers and what the consumer desires, where persuasion becomes the melody that guides us all into the future.
