The document discusses several marketing trends for 2023, including increased focus on TikTok, social commerce, and accessibility. TikTok will continue expanding advertising tools and features to court more advertisers. Social commerce is expected to grow significantly by 2025 as social platforms improve in-app purchasing capabilities, though some setbacks occurred in 2022. Accessibility will also remain an important issue, with platforms improving auto-captioning and companies implementing higher accessibility standards as part of diversity efforts.
As marketing budgets recover from the pandemic, social media spending is increasing. However, social media faces greater scrutiny as it receives larger portions of budgets. Marketers are more confident in social media's ROI, but senior leadership demands clear proof of social's value. In 2023, social media practitioners will need to closely align their goals and metrics with business objectives to satisfy increased scrutiny from executives seeking to cut costs in an uncertain economy. Practitioners also need to educate leadership on the importance of both short-term and long-term brand building strategies. Those who can't clearly justify social media's impact risk losing budget support.

The document discusses social media trends for 2023. It notes that TikTok has cemented itself as the dominant platform and is rewriting industry rules by prioritizing organic content and participation. Organic and earned efforts are making a comeback as platforms like Facebook and YouTube see declining revenues and engagement. Brands are taking a more channel-agnostic approach and focusing on engagement and community building rather than uniform strategies across platforms.
This document summarizes the key findings of an annual survey of B2B content marketers. Some of the main findings include:
1) Nearly half of respondents expect their organization to hire more content producers in 2023 to help with increased workload.
2) Top performing content marketers are more likely to have a documented strategy, use content management tools, and feel they have the right technologies compared to average and least successful marketers.
3) In-person events have rebounded as a popular content format and are expected to see further investment in 2023, while use of paid distribution channels has decreased slightly from 2021 levels.
4) Creating content aligned across the buyer's journey and different teams remains

Here's a perfect recipe for search marketing strategies, digital marketing and consumer trends, along with the must-haves for search marketers in 2023.
Decentralized social networks are emerging as the next trend, allowing individual users more control over their data and experience. As concerns grow over privacy and data usage on mainstream platforms, decentralized networks run by consumers rather than corporations offer an alternative. However, challenges remain around moderation and preventing toxicity without centralized oversight. In 2023, one or two decentralized networks may start to gain significant traction if they can address these issues, putting pressure on major platforms to offer users more choice and autonomy.

It has been said that “All Marketing is Digital Marketing.” And with good reason! In the last decade (or less), the marketing environment has been transformed.
Marketing has moved from an environment in which traditional marketing, brick and mortar storefronts and Digital Marketing options all competed for the time, attention and resources of the marketing department to one in which Digital Marketing reigns supreme – with an occasional nod in the direction of the storefront, or traditional marketing (direct mail, print advertising, etc.)
One of the biggest challenges of Digital Marketing is the speed of which it has taken over the marketing organization, often in an ad hoc, uncoordinated fashion.
Demand Metric’s research has consistently shown that Digital Marketing has a very significant and positive impact on the organizations that are employing it when they do so by following best practices and processes in a coordinated, holistic approach.
In this Best Practices Report on Digital Marketing we will cover the Digital Marketing landscape in five distinct categories - Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Video Marketing and Public Relations

It has been said that “All Marketing is Digital Marketing.” And with good reason! In the last decade (or less), the marketing environment has been transformed.
Marketing has moved from an environment in which traditional marketing, brick and mortar storefronts and Digital Marketing options all competed for the time, attention and resources of the marketing department to one in which Digital Marketing reigns supreme – with an occasional nod in the direction of the storefront, or traditional marketing (direct mail, print advertising, etc.)
One of the biggest challenges of Digital Marketing is the speed of which it has taken over the marketing organization, often in an ad hoc, uncoordinated fashion.
Demand Metric’s research has consistently shown that Digital Marketing has a very significant and positive impact on the organizations that are employing it when they do so by following best practices and processes in a coordinated, holistic approach.
In this Best Practices Report on Digital Marketing we will cover the Digital Marketing landscape in five distinct categories - Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Video Marketing and Public Relations

Content marketing has grown significantly in recent years as digital technologies have made it more accessible. While capabilities have increased, efficacy and addressing consumer needs and demands have been greater drivers of its rise. As consumers expect more immersive and shareable content delivered across various platforms, content marketing allows brands to engage users and gain valuable insights to inform products and services. It is poised to further transform the marketing landscape through greater collaboration and customization.

The report finds that building an active online community is the top priority for marketers, with 90% saying it is critical to success. Social media is also becoming the dominant platform for ecommerce, with 80% of marketers saying consumers prefer to purchase directly within social apps rather than other sites. Additionally, consumers are increasingly using social media for customer service, with 20% contacting brands through DMs in the past 3 months. The report provides insights and data on these and other trends like the growth of social search over search engines, changing influencer strategies, rising popularity of short-form video
DIgital Marketing Trends 2018
Digital will witness yet another year of super-growth wherein new
digital products and solutions will be launched which will vie for larger eye-ball
share. Advertisers will look for performance over delivery and conversions over
clicks. Recent reports from IAB suggest mobile contributes 54% of the digital
advertising pie in the US. Being a mobile-first country unlike the
western worl,there is no doubt that India will move past that
percentage even faster than US.
In this report, we shall also throw light on three new platforms which we believe
will change the dynamics of the industry for giants like Google, Amazon and
Facebook forever.
At the current pace of growth, digital cannot be ignored by both small and large
enterprises. It is no more a platform which can be taken for granted.
Organizations will have to go back to the drawing board, develop strategies and
business models suiting the digital eco-system. The businesses will need to
significantly shift their culture and approach to grow and replicate their offline
success to digital platform.

Trend #1:
TikTok
Since 2019, TikTok has consistently ranked as one of the world’s
most downloaded apps. This remained true throughout 2022,
even despite growing concerns about its data harvesting and
privacy policies. Still, as it continued to attract users and
became the de facto search engine of Gen-Z, TikTok spent the
last year strategically courting advertisers with new tools and
integrations. Barring any huge hiccups, by the end of 2023,
the platform’s relationship with marketers will have hit a new
groove.
Along with new partnerships with discovery platform
Foursquare and marketing firm NCSolutions, TikTok rolled out
a WooCommerce integration in May 2022 to help businesses
create and measure their advertising campaigns. Then in April,
TikTok built on the experiential appeal of marketing on the
platform by introducing interactive add-ons for in-feed ads
designed to drive engagement. To help with boosting exposure,
the platform launched the contextual advertising program
Pulse, giving marketers the opportunity to place ads adjacent
to trending, highly-engaging, and relevant content. And finally,
TikTok began offering the Follow Me educational experience to
help small and medium businesses learn how to best leverage
it all.
TikTok shows no signs of slowing down its commitment to
advertisers into 2023. Late 2022 updates like Showtimes
on TikTok, its movie theater ad experience, point to even
more outreach to art and entertainment advertisers. Sony
Pictures already saw great success in using the platform to
market Spider-Man: No Way Home, according to a report in
Deadline. However, setbacks like the limited availability of
TikTok Shops still have some marketers holding back. And more
concerningly, the FCC ended 2022 still debating whether or
not to ban the app outright.
Along with contending with government regulation, one of
TikTok’s biggest obstacles may come with building trust on
both sides of their ads. When it comes to trust with advertisers,
there will be even more scrutiny of the platform’s content
moderation policies and processes. On the customer side,
scams and 2022 events like the Pink Sauce incident — in
which one creator came under fire for her homemade food
product — have drawn attention to consumer safety and
quality control on the platform.
5. 5
With so much attention and engagement to be potentially gained
from TikTok, jumping into the arena too late may be a costly mistake.
According to the company’s own research, 81% of its users leverage
TikTok to find new brands, products, and services. Platform support
around new features and integrations makes now a particularly easy
time for new brands to get involved and experiment with strategy.
And though there are still a number of giant question marks in TikTok’s
advertising future, signs point to 2023 being a big year for the platform’s
relationship with advertisers. Perhaps more than on any other social
platform, TikTok’s speedy evolution demands real-time familiarity from
marketers and brands.
Brands that have already jumped into the TikTok ad world will reap
the benefits throughout 2023. As they know well, the platform requires
its own style of involved content creation. Figuring out your brand’s
footprint on the app now will save valuable time and resources in the
future as others stumble to keep up with waves of new changes and
increasingly platform-savvy consumers.
Mastering content creation for TikTok is no small task. It will be
increasingly important for marketers to wield audio in their branding
or marketing campaigns. Plus, the quick evolution of trends and jargon
on the platform mean marketers that want to stay in conversation with
TikTok audiences will rely even more heavily on social media monitoring.
Additionally, marketers looking to take TikTok by storm will need to take a
closer look at their influencer marketing programs and partnerships with
content creators. For many, standardizing and streamlining processes
with influencer marketing platforms and hubs will be the best way to
establish TikTok marketing that is consistent, timely, and efficient.

7. Marketers kicked 2022 off with high hopes for social commerce
that were dampened by skepticism and slow starts as the
year went on. While social buying is already a success in
China and India, it has been slower to catch on in the West,
where shoppers are hesitant to trust social buying apps and
features. At the same time, a wave of new integrations and
updates may very well accelerate adoption internationally in
2023, presenting a new world of opportunities for marketers.
Twitter Shops launched in March 2022. Weeks later, TikTok
and Snapchat inched closer to full in-app shopping with
announcements of their respective WooCommerce and
eBay integrations. By the end of summer, TikTok, Snapchat,
Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and Meta had all announced
integrations, updates, or test features of their own aimed at
making the customer journey from browsing social to check
out that much faster. Notably, YouTube introduced shoppable
shorts in June, and Meta rolled out in-chat purchases and
payments for Instagram. Still, unexpected setbacks, such
as the shutdown of Facebook live shopping in October,
show that marketers still need to stay agile when it comes to
investing in new channels.
Despite some pessimism over pace, social commerce is here
to stay, with sales projected to hit $1.2 trillion (accounting
for 16.7% of all e-commerce sales) by 2025. As social
platforms continue working to make in-app purchases easier
throughout 2023, each update will allow marketers and
brands to get creative with customer experiences as they
capture impulse buys. And as more consumers make their
first in-app purchases in 2023, building trust through social
proof, influencer marketing, social customer service, and
multi-channel purchase options will be even more crucial.
Across markets, brands need to get creative with new platform
features while emphasizing the legitimacy, value, and quality
of in-app shopping.
Trend #2:

About three in every 20 people worldwide live with disabilities,
yet excluding them from marketing plans has long been the
norm. From ads devoid of visibly disabled people to unusable
websites and apps, the industry has a history of overlooking
the largest minority group in the world. Those standards are
slowly changing as more companies are implementing higher
accessibility standards as part of their wider DEI efforts.
Thanks in part to subtitle-embracing Gen-Z, closed captions
are a regular sight across Instagram Reels and TikToks, which
both began offering auto-captioning features in 2021. In 2022,
Instagram rolled out auto-generated captions for in-feed
videos, while TikTok introduced the option to toggle auto-
captions on and off. Meanwhile, LinkedIn began offering real-
time captioning for the platform’s Audio Events.
To help the marketers behind the scenes, Google expanded its
inclusive marketing resource All In to cover disability inclusivity
and accessibility. And on the PR front, artists Beyoncé and
Lizzo demonstrated how to approach missteps when they
apologized and removed a slur targeting disabled people from
their songs.
Accessibility will continue to be a hot topic in 2023 as the
progress made has revealed how much further there is to
go. A 2022 Business Disability Forum survey of disabled
consumers found that 42% of respondents couldn’t complete
an online purchase because of inaccessible websites or apps.
Forty-seven percent were unable to find information about a
product’s accessibility features.
Trend #3:
Accessibility
For social marketing, Twitter is set to roll out image description
reminders, is working on a closed captions toggle, and is
exploring expanded alt-text and captioning features. We’ll
likely also be seeing platforms investing in more accurate
auto-captioning for video as well as live and audio-only events
and making accessibility options more visible. For in-person
experiences, marketers should pay special attention to the
accessibility of spaces and get creative with multi-sensory
experiences, giving consumers the chance to sample products
and interact with products. Finally, when it comes to disability
representation in content, 2023 will come with even more
casual inclusion of disabled people in advertising that doesn’t
center on disability.
Haven’t thought about accessibility in marketing yet?
Consumers are continuing to demand more inclusivity and
representation from marketers, which is why it’s imperative to
be proactive about implementing solutions.
9. 9
Trend #4:
Short-Form
Video
Short-form video might be a three-word phrase that marketers
are sick of hearing, (right up there with “content is king”), but
that’s just too bad. The short video trend is here to stay.
But, what does “Short-Form Video” mean? Common
denominators of most short-form video content include: quick
edits or trick edits, cleverness, transformations, unique ways
of adapting trending audios, strong captions, and hooks that
encourage viewers to stop scrolling.
However, the definition of short-form video has been changing
rapidly over the past few years as new platforms and video
lengths emerged.
When TikTok burst onto the scene in 2020, it was somewhat
dismissed as just a new version of Vine, which was popular and
novel for its 6-second video format. TikTok was much the same,
offering a max length of 15 seconds.
Though TikTok started in the same way, it did what Vine could
not by achieving mainstream adoption — and it has continued
to evolve. One of the platform’s biggest shifts came in 2022,
with the announcement that creators would have the ability to
produce 10-minute TikToks — the average length of a YouTube
video.
On Instagram, Reels can be up to 90 seconds, and Stories can
be viewed in 60-second chunks. Similarly, YouTube Shorts can
be up to a minute long.
Although YouTube Shorts were released globally in 2021, it’s
taken a bit of time for them to really come into their own.
Being a video-first platform already, and one with a fairly
long legacy, YouTube faces a unique challenge in introducing
its own short-form component. It needs to balance things
carefully to avoid angering its user base, as Instagram did.
So the rather slow burn of Shorts becoming more prominent on
the platform is understandable.
It’s also interesting that with so many short-form options out
there, from TikTok to Snapchat to even Pinterest, YouTube has
decided to invest so much time in developing its version. And
they have been developing at a very fast rate — including
making a move to help creators monetize Shorts through ads
— something TikTok and Instagram are still struggling with
executing, as of this writing.
Given that monetization through YouTube videos is fairly
common for creators, it’s actually not that innovative for the
platform, but it could be a defining update if the content
creators who are already monetizing their videos on YouTube
show the platform more favortisim.
Midway through 2022, YouTube made it easier to create a
Short directly from a longer form video uploaded to your
channel, so creators who maybe felt they didn’t have the time
or mental energy to invest in yet another video format can now
simply parse their longer content into shorter clips — getting
in front of new audiences and finding more subscribers just like
that.
10. 10
That’s not to say that other platforms have been sleeping on new
features for short-form videos. Not by a long shot. Pinterest is one
platform whose adoption of short-form video will be particularly
exciting. The company recently announced a series of agreements
with record labels that will allow users to add popular songs to its
video-focused “Idea Pins” in an effort to reach parity with TikTok’s
audio library.
Pinterest has also slowly been integrating more video capabilities,
introducing a unique live shopping forum showcasing all kinds
of different creators and influencers. Since then, the comapny
has made improvements here and there, including partnering with
institutions like the Louvre museum for unique behind-the-scenes
video content — a great way to showcase how other creators
could use Pinterest for video.
So while the definition of “Short-Form Video content” may be
changing as each platform continues to expand the length of the
videos allowed to be published, one thing is not: video content
remains a priority for the major social media platforms.
Marketing teams should be incorporating more video into their
content and social media strategies for 2023, experimenting with
different video lengths and several of the new features. Next year,
we expect to see even more social commerce features — paid
ads, and purchase capabilities — to be coming to short-form
in response to a growing need to provide a seamless buying
experience, minimizing in-app interruption.
11. Social listening certainly isn’t a new idea, it’s been around for
at least 15 years, but for a long time, it was largely focused on
Twitter data, since that was the platform with the most readily
available data. This is now changing, and we’re starting to
see a much wider range of data sources available in social
listening platforms, which means users are able to get a far
more detailed picture of whatever topics they’re analyzing.
This broader range of data comes from a variety of sources.
Reddit and Twitch, for example, are two hugely popular social
media platforms that can now be analyzed through third-party
social listening tools.
Equally, social platforms which are popular in Asia are
increasingly becoming available in listening tools, and this
includes newer rising stars such as the video streaming site
Bilibili, as well as more established services like Weibo and
Xiaohongshu. For global brands hoping to make inroads into
the Asian market, access to data from these platforms can
provide valuable insight into the attitudes and behaviors of
those consumers.
AI has also enabled rich new data sources for social listening.
It’s now possible to automatically analyze online images,
not just to identify brand logos, but to describe their overall
content with a high degree of accuracy. With so much social
media content consisting of images, this opens up a whole new
Trend #5:
Social
Listening Data
world of analysis for marketers to explore how their brand is
represented in social media.
As well as transcribing the content of images into text, AI can
also help us analyze the content of audio formats, providing
you with the ability to not only detect when your brand is
mentioned in a podcast, but to understand the context of the
discussion.
All of these new sources of data mean that social listening is
more powerful and useful than ever before, and is becoming a
must-have in the marketing tech stack.

These days, consumers are used to having infinite choices,
from the content they consume to the products and services
they buy. But with the death of cookies and the continued
popularity of “infinite scroll” platforms like Instagram and
TikTok, the value of the brand will reach a new high in 2023.
As organic reach has declined further on some social
platforms, brand exposure is just one battle in the war for
consumer dollars. Winning attention is one thing, but it’s the
brands that consumers know, trust, and love that earn those
valuable clicks. Brand awareness is a marketing team’s best
tool for overcoming the limited exposure an algorithmic-based
social platform may provide.
Visibility and discoverability are especially large obstacles for
small brands contending with top-of-mind commerce giants
like Amazon. And businesses of any size can find themselves
in a constant game of catch-up with platform updates, such
as Instagram’s test of getting rid of Recent hashtags this past
April.
At the same time, the rise of consumers using TikTok,
Instagram, and other platforms as search engines makes the
playing field a bit more level for brands with strong identities.
In 2023, a large part of strong brand identities will rest on in-
depth, real-time knowledge of target audiences in niche, online
communities.
Trend #6:
The Value of
the Brand
Across industries, marketers and brands that get the clicks
in 2023 will do so via in-depth consumer and audience
intelligence that puts them in authentic conversation with their
consumers. Additionally, creative interactive content, short-
form video, holistic brand experiences across platforms, and
responsive customer service and engagement will continue to
be critical brand differentiators.
In 2023, brands that cast too wide of a marketing net are
bound to get lost and forgotten. Investing in the value of your
brand identity now will only make content creation as you
wade into new ad and platform features that much easier
looking forward.
14. 14
Trend #7:
Influencer
Management
Influencer marketing has been a trend for the past several
years, and it was estimated that 72.5% of marketers
planned to increase their budget for influencer marketing in
2022. Marketers can expect to continue investing in working
with influencers in 2023. Still, with social media constantly
changing, the way marketers think about this unique tactic’s
scope, priorities, and possibilities will shift dramatically.
For instance, marketers will need to consider if consumers still
trust the influencers they are considering partnering with. One
stat from Shopify.com indicates that 48% of consumers are
actually starting to distrust influencers due to a sort of fatigue
with the amount of branded content they see on social media.
So even if you as a brand have done your homework to find
influencers that reach your target audience, an influencer who
posts more branded content than organic content could be
losing influence over their audience. More marketers will begin
expanding their influencer due diligence to include vetting the
number of other partnerships an influencer is engaged in and
how frequently they post sponsored content.
This means we could see a big move towards nano influencers
who don’t yet have numerous brands they’re working with, or
we could see a resurgence of tapping into niche communities
for the ambassadorship.
But you will not be the only one doing the vetting in 2023. As
you vet potential influencers, they’ll also vet you, checking to
ensure your brand values match those of their community.
They may also be looking at who else you have tapped for
influencer marketing partnerships in the past. We have seen
many more co-produced influencer spots from influencers and
brands lately, so they may want to understand whom they
may be asked to work with in the future.
In 2022, several platforms introduced updated or new versions
of collaborative posts, making it easier to promote ongoing
partnerships and highlight fellow creators that made a piece
of content come together.
15. 15
Now instead of having to list the @’s that contributed buried in your description, you can tag alongside each other — a great
shoutout opportunity for photographers, musicians, makeup artists, writers, and other talents.
Social media platforms continue to prioritize features that enable content creators to utilize their platforms better. We can expect
them to release more tools for influencers to have at their disposal to grow their communities. For example, Instagram released an
update allowing followers to subscribe to their favorite creators, gaining access to exclusive content — similar to the Patreon model.
This kind of perk helps the influencer earn more, enabling them to invest in improving their content, meaning they’ll be in a better
position to gain new partnerships. It also facilitates new ways to build community, such as group chats.
Another shift we’re seeing in influencer marketing is the
improvement of promotion tools offered on their behalf
from the platforms themselves. YouTube and Instagram
introduced a Media Kit feature to help influencers
better represent their achievements and metrics to
brands. Social media reporting also continues to see
improvements, with multiple platforms updating their
interfaces for usability and scannability.
So, what does this all mean for the brand-creator
relationship? Brands hoping to either start or continue
with influencer marketing in 2023 will need to recognize
the cottage industry aspect — influencer marketing is
mainstream now, and so creators are becoming more
savvy business people. Brands must think creatively
about their campaigns and goals to maximize their
influencer partnerships’ output.
The good news is that with such a growing industry,
there are more and more influencers to choose from,
and even those with much lower followings now have the
tools to grow quicker.
Brands could start capitalizing on this, getting in on
the “ground floor,” so to speak, and establishing a
relationship early. Influencer marketing is here to stay,
and we think it will hit a unique stride in 2023 if brands
are willing to adapt and see the opportunities of working
with a wide range of influencers.

17. The volume of data available to marketers has increased
exponentially, year on year, for a long time. The problem
is that our ability to make sense of all this data hasn’t
increased at the same pace, and many marketers have been
left feeling as though they aren’t making good use of data to
improve their decision-making.
This is another area where advances in AI are offering hope.
One of the strengths of AI is the ability to spot patterns in
data that a human analyst might miss because our brains
and AI algorithms work in very different ways. Machines,
of course, also scale up much better than human analysts,
so they’re capable of working with much larger and more
complex data sets.
What this means is that analytics tools are increasingly
offering what we might call “guided insights,” which is where
the platform’s algorithm detects patterns and trends in your
data that you might not be aware of, so you can investigate
further.
An example of this can be found in Google Analytics
(although Google calls it “Automated Insights”), which
Trend #8:
Guided
Marketing
Insights
shows you interesting
new insights in your
website data alongside
your regular analytics
dashboards. Microsoft
offers a similar
technology in its Excel
spreadsheet software,
called “Analyze Data,” which helps users find patterns in
large data sets, which is useful for analyzing raw data
dumps exported from your favorite tools.
At Meltwater, we’re working on introducing guided insights
to help our customers more easily find insights hidden in
social data. As this technology becomes more widespread
in the martech industry, rather than feeling overwhelmed
by the ever-growing ocean of data available to them,
marketers will be able to rely on AI to help them make
sense of it more quickly and effectively.
17
18. 18
Marketers have relied on demographic data to segment their
audiences for a long time, grouping people together based
on things like their age, gender, geography, education, and
income levels. While this has enabled them to make broad
assumptions about different groups of people, it’s always been
something of a blunt instrument.
With the huge amount of consumer data available these
days, it’s now possible to segment audiences in far more
sophisticated ways. By analyzing social media data, we can
now understand how people form “digital tribes” based on
their shared attitudes, behaviors, interests, and influences.
This gives marketers a much more useful picture of an
audience segment than simply assuming that people will have
something in common because of their age or where they live.
Tools like Linkfluence Tribes do most of this segmentation work
automatically. Given a few cues on what topics you’re focused
on, the platform can identify who’s talking about those things
on social media, and then looks for commonality between the
conversation participants. Based on these common threads,
different tribes are defined, helping marketers to understand
their drivers and how best to engage with the different
segments.
Trend #9:
The Future of
Demographics
The benefits of this more powerful approach to segmentation
are huge. As well as being able to target campaigns and
content more effectively, businesses can gain an all-
round deeper understanding of their customers, which can
inform strategic decision-making far beyond the marketing
department.
This shift in technology has been enabled by advances in
AI and increases in brute computing power, which make it
possible to analyze huge volumes of social data, identifying
the patterns and links behind these tribes. As more marketers
embrace advanced segmentation techniques, we can finally
say goodbye to basic demographics and hello to better
relationships with our audiences.

Trend #10:
The Metaverse
In October 2021, Facebook announced that it was changing its
name to Meta to reflect the company’s new focus on building the
“metaverse.” This generated a lot of excitement, and very soon, a
wave of big tech companies and new startups announced their
own plans to help create the metaverse.
But what exactly is the metaverse? That’s where things start to
get a little muddied.
The concept of a metaverse has existed in science fiction for a
while (notably in works such as Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash
and, later, Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One) and is generally
taken to mean a virtual alternative reality
where people can spend time away from the
real world. Think of it as the Internet, but rather
than simply being a web of connected pages,
it’s a 3D world you can explore, either via a VR
headset or simply through a screen, the same
way you would interact with a video game
world.
A similar idea was briefly popularized following
the launch of Second Life in 2003; a virtual
world where users could explore, play, hang
out with friends, and generally do whatever
they wanted, free from the shackles of physical
reality. The platform was breathlessly hyped as
the next big thing, and big brands rushed to announce that they were among the first
to build an office in Second Life, with the expectation that consumers would soon be
spending much of their work and leisure time there.
20. 20
Likewise, it’s hard to imagine that consumers would choose to
put on a VR headset and navigate through a 3D environment
to speak with a sales or customer service agent represented as
an avatar in a virtual store, instead of a phone call, email, or
live chat. And, in all honesty, do any of us really want to attend
a Monday morning virtual meeting, rather than a simple Zoom
call?
If you’re struggling to see where this is all going, you’re not the
only one. In the final quarter of 2022, the tech and business
press saw a flurry of reports taking a highly skeptical stance
on the outlook for the metaverse, particularly in the wake of
disappointing Q3 results for Meta.
And yet… Maybe the metaverse is just one of those ideas that
works better in the pages of a sci-fi novel than it ever can in
reality. But with so many companies, including heavyweights
like Meta, Microsoft, and Epic Games, investing so much into
making it happen, maybe there is something in the idea that
just isn’t clear to us quite yet.
Marketers are always keen to jump on hot new tech trends,
especially during the early stages of the hype cycle, and the
metaverse is no different. Marketing Week recently reported
that 90% of marketers plan to invest in the metaverse within
the next five years.
Of course, it’s great to experiment with new marketing
concepts, to get ahead of the curve, but at a time when
marketing budgets are under close scrutiny, it seems prudent
to approach the metaverse with caution.
It all fizzled out very quickly, and despite retaining a cult
following, Second Life never really became the thriving
metaverse science fiction had promised.
So, how is this new incarnation any different?
The problem is that right now, there are several companies
(Microsoft is another big player) that are talking a lot about
their vision for the metaverse, and claim to be building the
technologies to realize that vision, as well as any number of
journalists and industry analysts sharing their predictions, but
there’s very little in the way of concrete product.
The metaverse, ironically, is still very much a virtual concept.
And that concept remains somewhat nebulous. To some, the
metaverse really is as simple as one big virtual world where
we can all come together to work, socialize, play, and shop
in an immersive environment; all we need is to strap on a VR
headset. If that’s the case, it’s hard to see how it’s likely to
succeed where Second Life failed.
To others, the metaverse is more than that. Some envisage an
entire virtual economy based on Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to
prove ownership of digital assets such as avatars, virtual real
estate, and other items that only exist electronically within the
metaverse. Some have even argued that existing virtual worlds,
such as popular games like Roblox and Fortnite, are already
part of the metaverse.
What the metaverse actually is depends on who you speak to,
or, more importantly, who you believe. Much of what’s being
described by metaverse believers already exists in some form.
Virtual worlds with virtual economies? Look at almost any
popular online role-playing game, they’ve been doing exactly
that for decades.
21. Midway through 2021, Google announced it was doing away
with third-party cookies, which allow other sites to access
your customers’ data, which they can then use for advertising,
selling, or other purposes.
The original target date from Google for officially ending
cookies was the end of 2023, however marketers now have a bit
more breathing room. As of July 2022, the deadline has been
extended to 2024. But regardless, we are now entering the
endgame for adjusting strategy.
In anticipation of doing away with third-party cookies,
marketers will need to reconsider how to achieve and
measure the success of their online advertising campaigns,
email marketing, brand awareness, and other key marketing
initiatives.
One major shift that will take place here is gathering
“first-party” directly from the customer. That is, data the
customer provides, or agrees to provide on apps and
websites. Some say this method is actually better
because it provides more relevant and accurate
information that you can use to improve your marketing.
Trend #11:
The Death of
Third-Party
Cookies
Related to this, many marketers may start using “contextual
marketing,” which targets based on content that people view,
rather than matching only their data. This definitely seems like
a wise move, as demographic data only goes so far, and doesn’t
truly represent interests, needs, or the idiosyncrasies of our lives
that lead to purchase decisions.
Marketers have relied on third-party cookies for over 30 years,
so their disappearance means reporting teams need to research
and implement new solutions for tracking their campaign
success. To provide some level of context to how ingrained
cookies are in most marketing team’s reporting, nearly 80%
of marketers rely on third-party cookies for measuring and
reporting on digital campaigns, according to an Eplison study.
2023 won’t be the year that cookies disappear for good, but it
will be the year that marketers spend time thinking about how
to find an alternative to uncover similar audience insights and
campaign measurement.

22. 22
Technology is rapidly changing and advancing, and how
platforms are growing is important for brands to be aware of
as they make marketing decisions in the years to come.
More and more social platforms are looking to other
companies, platforms, or creators to innovate. Here are some
of the recent integrations we’ve been keeping an eye on.
Music licensing
In 2022, Meta, YouTube, and Snapchat made interesting
updates to facilitate more open music use — a traditionally
sticky area when it comes to legality and copyright. Meta
introduced a rev-share program wherein licensed music can
be added to the content, paying the music artist through ad
revenue. YouTube added a music library where creators can
legally access a broader range of music (for a small fee) and
remain monetized.
Geotargeting
There’s also been some movement in geotargeting features
promoting experiences, travel, and events. Snapchat got in
on the fun by partnering with Ticketmaster earlier in 2022 to
bring its users easy ways to buy tickets to events in-app. On
Twitter, businesses can now add a map feature and additional
information, such as opening hours.
Trend #12:
Social Media
Integrations
Giphy integrations
Communication via GIF has grown in popularity over the
years. The “response GIF” communication style practically
has its own dialect. Their popularity means they’re here to stay
for the foreseeable future, and social platforms are noticing.
In 2022, both Reddit and TikTok established partnerships with
Giphy, a major GIF search website, improving the ease of
uploading and sharing for their users.
Attracting new audiences
Another key trend we expect to see on social platforms in 2023
is the focus on widening their user bases through different
kinds of partnerships. For example, Snapchat sought to bring
a new audience into the fold when they partnered with
European football league LaLiga. Pinterest is also doing some
legwork to attract new audiences, partnering with various
celebrities, influencers, and institutions to produce video series
and live streams.
As we enter 2023, we expect to see more social platforms
incorporating new features in partnership with other services
and technologies. As marketers, it’s important to stay informed
of social media news updates to utilize all of the latest
features at your disposal in your next campaign.
23. 23
Trend #13:
Instagram
Reels
Instagram made a few big changes and updates in 2022, but
none were as noticeable or met with as vocal of a response as
their decision to replace all versions of video, with the exception
of Stories, with Reels. The reactions to this update were good and
bad, but mostly disappointing (and as everyone knows, that’s
worse).
This update was a long time coming, though, and certainly not
surprising. Instagram hasn’t made its strong push to video-first a
secret — or its desire to keep up with TikTok.
Part of the backlash that Instagram has received since its Reels
announcement, which again deprioritizes static images, has come
from the photographer cohort — Instagram’s original user base.
Additionally, Instagram’s announcement that all video formats
would be replaced with Reels negatively impacted brands and
other creators that had been using their Grid to upload videos
shot horizontally rather than vertically.
For many users, Instagram has taken it too far.
Certain trends within Reels even lean into this. Unhappy users
have been poking fun at the video-first mentality by posting still
photos as Reels, paired with audio that says, “Instagram is telling
everybody to make Reels, but I’m a rebel, so here’s a photo as a
Reel.”
24. 24
Working with influencers who already have a solid following is
another popular and effective method that brands can use to
build their own following and encourage sales.
While fashion and beauty products fit extremely well within
Instagram, a quick scroll reveals that there’s plenty of
opportunity for other types of products and businesses to take
advantage.
Instagram seems to be very focused on functionality right now,
keeping up with TikTok’s updates and new features. But if the
company truly wants to differentiate (which, again, is unclear
at this point), it is going to need to think outside the box, or
at least a bit more adjacent to the box. We’ll be watching this
closely — in particular, it will be interesting to see if Instagram
taps into its own creator cohort to advertise; similar to the
“TikTok Taught Me” campaign.
Reels has an uphill battle to differentiate, there’s no doubt
about it, especially as TikTok is rapidly becoming synonymous
with short-form video creation (akin to “Kleenex” or
“Chapstick” being catch-all terms for other brands). TikTok
has also made it clear that they don’t see Instagram as a
threat, with a brazen move introducing “photo mode”, allowing
users to upload a still photo carousel as a TikTok — rendering
Instagram undifferentiated to those users who are on TikTok
exclusively.
As Instagram continues its Reels-first strategy, we look forward
to the new ways they’ll find to get out of the TikTok shadow.
However, all of this bluster has done little to encourage
changes, and Instagram is continuing to work on providing
ways to Reels easier to make, share, and use in your marketing.
So what updates has Instagram introduced to try to prevent
its users from becoming Tiktok users? Here are a few of the
biggest:
• Eliminating IGTV
• Converting all videos into Reels
• Allowing users to respond to comments with Reels
• Introducing several Reels templates
• Extending the maximum length to 90 seconds
• Releasing remixing and collaborations features
• Developing achievement badges to encourage Reels
creation
If your brand still isn’t on the Reels bandwagon, 2023 might be
the time to invest in this short-form video format.
Reels offer a wealth of opportunities for brands, especially as
Instagram continues to improve usability. It has also been well
established that today’s consumer values authenticity, and
Reels are a great medium for giving your current customers, as
well as potential customers, a behind-the-scenes glimpse into
your brand.
Reels allow you to humanize your company by hopping
on trends, giving a quick office tour, or providing quick tips
relevant to your industry. And there’s also room to showcase
your products with more polished videos.

26. In the era of endless scrolling, marketers need interactive content more
than ever to capture consumer attention and engagement. That fact
was clear throughout 2022 as top social platforms continued investing
in features to help bring entertainment and shopping experiences
to users wherever they may be. TikTok introduced interactive add-
ons, Twitter started testing interactive ads, and Spotify rolled out
clickable CTAs to accompany podcast ads — all giving marketers more
opportunities to attract engagement from each platform’s dedicated
user bases.
Meanwhile, marketers and brands have become more innovative about
deploying interactive content that makes consumers feel engaged and
seen. Some standout examples include Google Search’s look back
at its history and, of course, Spotify’s annual, personalized Wrapped
campaign.
Notably, interactive content is more closely wedded with social
commerce with each passing day. For example, Snap rolled out
shoppable AR lenses in 2022, beginning with ones from MAC and Ulta
that let users “try on” cosmetics and immediately buy them. 2023 will
see even more innovation in how marketers use AR to drive conversions.
Across platforms, brands continued innovating with evergreen favorites
like branded filters. One popular example is Fenty Beauty’s contour
filter created with influencer Grace M. Choi. Outside of custom
branded ones, filters play major parts in Instagram, TikTok, and
Snapchat trends, offering another avenue for brands to connect and
communicate with their audiences.
Trend #14:
Interactive
Content
However, 2023 won’t just be about digital interactive
experiences. Capitalizing on the value of “IRL” experiences,
brands will have a wealth of opportunities to deploy
physical, interactive, UGC-inspiring content in brick-and-
mortar locations and public spaces.
Along with offering marketers an added source of consumer
insights, interactive content is a major brand differentiator
and critical weapon against the algorithm. Overall, the
creative bar to keep consumer interest and engagement will
only get higher as 2023 unfolds.

When futurologists first warned that robots would be coming for
our jobs, few of us imagined that they’d start with graphic artists
and copywriters. But 2022 was a big year for AI-powered content
creation, and it looks set to play a bigger role in the future.
We’ve reached an inflection point where a combination of
improved algorithms and raw computing horsepower has enabled
“Generative AI” to create visual and written content at impressive
levels of quality. Tools like Dall-E and Stable Diffusion are now
capable of producing images of anything you want, in any style
you want, from a natural language prompt.
Similarly, platforms like GPT-3 can generate authentic-looking
copy in a wide variety of formats. Numerous products are now
using AI to automate copywriting tasks ranging from optimizing
email subject lines to mass-producing SEO blog copy; although
it’s worth noting that Google considers AI-generated content to be
against its guidelines for webmasters.
Can these tools replace human artists and copywriters? That
depends on your quality standards. Certainly, AI is capable of
producing high-quality images, even close to photo-realistic,
which may be good enough for some use cases as an alternative
to stock images, but for situations where you have very specific
requirements, a professional graphic artist is still essential.
Trend #15:
AI Content
Creation
For AI-generated copy, the answer is less clear. When you ask
an AI to write a blog post about, for example, the benefits of
owning an electric car, the AI does not research that topic and
build a human-like understanding of the issue before putting its
thoughts onto paper. Rather, GPT-3 has been trained on millions
of existing diverse examples of human-generated text, and it
uses that training to predict what text is most likely to provide a
plausible response to the prompt you have given it.
So the copy it produces is not based on a deep understanding
of the topic, but just a statistical model of what has already
been written on that topic by humans. It’s a neat trick, but it
doesn’t help marketers write engaging, original content that
answers the needs of their audiences.
But we’ve come a long way in a short time, so it’s likely that the
technology can still improve significantly, and in a year or two,
it may prove far more useful to marketers.
