Deep dives
Social Media Platforms Prioritization
Prioritizing social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok in 2024 can be crucial for marketers. YouTube is seeing a resurgence in long-form content, appealing to loyal communities. TikTok's short-form videos have dominated discussions, but long-form content is gaining attention.
Importance of Long-Form Content
Long-form content is coming back into focus as consumers become more discerning with their time and attention. TikTok's rapid content turnover is contrasting with the more dedicated consumption of long-form content on platforms like YouTube.
The Trend Towards Lifestyle Balance
A trend towards balancing life sustainably is emerging, focusing on active viewing rather than passive viewing. Fitness in terms of working out and health is seen as beneficial, reflecting a larger conversation about mindful lifestyle choices.
Employee Engagement as Influencers
Leveraging employees as influencers can be a powerful strategy for both B2C and B2B brands. Highlighting employees in brand content can create a personal connection and authenticity, contributing to building a robust community.
Utilizing AI for Immersive Brand Experiences
The use of AI in marketing trends is evolving to create immersive brand experiences online. Brands like Adobe are incorporating personal branding and AI to deepen audience engagement and foster more authentic connections.
In my opinion there is no one doing a better job in the world speaking about social media in a grounded way than Sophie right now - so this was a special session and great way to kick off the year.
