Social network growth will plateau but engagement within these social networks will grow as inactive users become active, and already active users become even more savvy
We already can see around us and have seen the figures – smartphone penetration and innovations will continue to grow and impact the way that we as consumers use social media, which inherently is a game changer for brands as well
Niche social networks such as Instagram and Pinterest will continue to grow and also companies will start being smarter about the channels they select, going for a more strategic, less diluted presence in these spaces.
Ever since the beginning of this course, I have encouraged you to work to a more dynamic and fluid model – listen, think, react. The social media space is inherrently dynamic, real time and fast paced so companies must learn to adapt their marketing strategies to become more agile and open to change – no more marketing strategies for 12 months at a time!
Less about monitoring, more about intelligence and how businesses utilise this data and work it through every part of their business
As marketers, we need to focus on providing value to potential customers, rather than flooding them with endless pointless promotions – something I have seen has become particuarly ineffective towards the end of this year – NO I DON’T WANT ANOTHER BLOODY BADGE
As more and more businesses jump on the social media bandwagon, think about the problems this creates with competing for the attendtion of clients/customers – innovation and providing tangible value will become ever more important and a clear line in the sand will be drawn between brand doing social media well/badly
Content always has been king but seo copywriting led to a deluge of poor quality content but now we will see an increase in quality content, often being produced by third parties – creation of new industries and jobs?
Looking at Flipboard and tools like Buffer which intelligently publish content at the right time or bring all of your content streams into one place – how will tools like Flipboard influence social media optimisation tactics – will not just focus on optimisation for specific platforms but also optimising for tools like this – 2012 will be the year of the social media app
Social media integration will occur within organisations both internally and externally – moving towards a more social model of business – this is the really key point for your essay!!
