How The Future Of Social Media Marketing Is Going To Be

After 3 months of real meditation and research, Here is What I Think the Future of Social Media Marketing is Going to be. Please read Every single tweet here because it matters. Social Media is the new age of media and the arena of attention. It is therefore very important for brands to fully lay a foundation to be able to remain relevant in the market.

We are going to live in the age of the thank you economy where people’s emotions and feelings come first before they make decisions to buy products. Influencers will have more power than internal brand marketing teams. Brands will need to start fully rebranding to products that relate to their customers and their passions. For example, CocaCola producing customized Coke bottles for influential figures and their fans. Let me make this clear, the biggest asset we all trade in on Social Media is the Attention of customers and fans. The faster brands learn this the better they will be in positioning themselves.

Start now and avoid disappearing into the world of noise. Today is the best time to start your digital journey before other people start to give wrong or half-baked information about your brand. Create Authenticity early. Customers and fans feedback modified by brand strategists will be the sole source of information for innovations and rebranding. Social media will be very instrumental in collecting these voices to facilitate brand improvement.

Talent Acquisition is going to 70% be based on Social media as a source of background checks. With platforms like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn will provide businesses with choices on getting the right talents that resonate with their brands. Your Next competitor will start their business on Social Media and acquire real fans and customers before the actual business kick starts. You will most likely regret not having put your brand online early when they take away all your customers.

Your Brand Website and Blog will be the two sole sources of authentic information about your business. Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn will simply help you share content from your website to your customers and fans. Fast-forward to the future, and we should see global social media usage continue on its upward trajectory. In just 4 years, eMarketer projects will nearly double by 32.7%. By 2021 4.5 billion of the world’s population will be on social networks. No matter where your business is located in the world, the psychology of consumers will almost be similar as a result of Social Media effect. Break the mentality of “for us, we are African, Asian, European or American,” just adopt a global brand standard.

When news breaks in the future, it will be covered by a multitude of eyewitnesses streaming live video. These streams will knit together into a single immersive video, enabling the viewer to virtually experience the event in real time. I think that anything we talk about in 25 years is going to sound like science fiction. Mobile is the first step toward the portable future of social media and how we consume it, and I think wearables will be a big part of that.

Imagine shopping on an e-commerce store with a friend, virtually trying things on your avatar that’s representative of your likeness and conversing in real time with that friend, all while on the go in different places. Keyboards on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones will become increasingly irrelevant, as interactions on what was once called social media will largely be voice-controlled. Holographic displays will be shifting into the mainstream.

My bet is that social will be less about standalone apps and websites and more about the “piping” of the Internet. In the future the Internet will operate more like electricity does today. 16. Communication in the future will be built on the foundation started by what is today called social media, but it will look much different. The most dramatic change by 2030 will not only be the amount of data that will be available to everyone but also the decision-making power of that data. We currently have thermostats that learn our preferences, & Nike even knows how often and how fast we run.

All I do all week is look at my phone, reading articles, liking posts, sending emails/tweets. In the future, I will “disconnect” by putting on Oculus virtual reality glasses when I get home and suddenly I’ll be sitting courtside at the WWE ring with my Facebook friends. I think that [social media] will be more integrated into everything. As you think further down the road, I don’t think that there’s going to be something called social media that people will be talking about in 20 years.

I see more of a divide happening between socializing and publishing via social media, and platforms like Facebook that merge the two will probably need to pick a lane and change significantly. Conclusion: The best business tools on social media are going to be as expensive as buying traditional media equipment today. Brands with bigger budgets will have better tools than those with low budgets.
