Today’s Insight

📰 TL;DR - In the spirit of Halloween, let’s look into our crystal ball at the future of social media marketing. The experts over at Social Media Today pulled together their 34 predictions for the industry in 2024. Historically, they tend to be ~80% accurate.

We’ve listed our top predictions below but you can check out the full list here.

💡 Insight - Private messaging tools will take businesses to the next level. Meta’s going to continue to develop and hone their biz messaging tools. Marketers will have to be ready to embrace messaging or build their own conversational AI bots.

Threads will continue to gain momentum and be a partial competitor for X’s audience. While it might not necessarily end X, it will become a more viable option for marketing teams. With their additions of DMs and an API, it’s moving in the right direction.

Honing in on AI uses across the board and building better integrated tools. LinkedIn is one of the big leaders in the AI social platform race, but so far most of its features have been consumer-based. SMT suggests that there will be more AI-integrated back-end improvements to enhance discovery and engagement.
