The Evolution of Social Media Marketing: 9 trends to know now

Marketing has always been about the big ideas and social media should be, too. Social, like any medium, should be anchored in the big ideas of your brand and business goals.

Social media is changing rapidly. And while some may think it’s still in its adolescent years, in some ways, it’s also growing up. Audiences are getting smarter. Platforms are recognizing innovative ways to make money. Marketers are learning the best ways to engage. And these changes are moving social media closer and closer to other kinds of marketing mediums.
