Soon, we’ll be able to browse the web within a ChatGPT-style assistant, bypassing traditional click-based search. Tasks like booking, forms and summarizing could be handled directly by AI. Open AI’s browser will challenge Google Chrome’s dominance, user-data control and advertising model.
City marketing has always walked a unique line. You're not just selling a product or a service; you're promoting a living, breathing place. One that people live in, invest in, visit, move to and share stories about. And that makes the job both more rewarding and more complex.
Every year brings new buzzwords. But 2025? It’s already showing signs of a different kind of shift, one that’s less about chasing trends and more about recalibrating how we show up, connect, and convert.
If the ground beneath your feet feels unstable and the wind beneath your wings seems to have died down, welcome to the new world. You know that old saying: When the going gets tough, the tough get going? I think that’s wrong, because if you are not already going, then you are all but gone.
Whether you are a government agency trying to get work done (efficiently and effectively… DOGE-style) or a private business attempting to engage with a government department, 2025 may be feeling like the year of the sloth.

When your audience is a dozen procurement officers, 50 decision-makers across three states, or one specific department with a single buyer… you don’t need reach. You need precision. As someone who’s worked on B2G (business-to-government) campaigns, from state transportation departments to port authorities to niche tech buyers within federal agencies, I’ve learned that the smaller the list, the sharper your strategy has to be.
TL;DR: Sweeney is a full-service government marketing agency helping public agencies and B2G companies build trust, visibility, and results through branding, PR, digital campaigns, thought leadership and more. We sat down with Rachel Lowe, Senior Account Director and government marketing expert at Sweeney, to get her insights on what makes for successful public sector marketing and how agencies like ours support government-focused clients.
Two years ago, AI writing tools took over the scene, sending writers, creatives and marketers alike into a spiral. At the same time, I was hired at Sweeney and preparing for my first day on the job. I began to spiral, alongside long-time practitioners, thinking I’d be replaced before I’d even gotten started.
