5 global marketing predictions for 2023
The whole topic is very hot! Every little bit more experienced marketeer will talk about his/hers predictions and their thoughts on what to expect. We summed up the TOP 5 of them we believe are more likely to come true.
1. Influence of AI on both strategic planning and content creation
What are you waiting for if you aren’t using AI in any of your business endeavors? Currently, next to the famous and well-praised ChatGPT, many other AI tools could make your life much easier!
We are sure that questions such as How much should you trust AI? Will we all work in the same patterns? arouse, but there is nothing to be scared of. These tools are here for your to explore and think out of the box. Asking AI to do simple and time-consuming tasks won’t do damage. In the end, it’s here to be tested.
We are currently working on a list of tools to help you out, so stay tuned.
2. Social matters
The world is heading towards a “better tomorrow” as does business and marketing! Does your company care about current world problems? Think of ways how to implement ‘social purpose’ in your brand, as the newest generations step in both buying power and workforce, they will be looking to work with those that CARE!
3. Getting closer to customers
As simple as the title states, get closer to your customers! Make it personal! Focus on what communities are telling you, as there is no space for bullshit tools and strategies no more. With Google changing the cookie policies, privacy will be on top, and harder for your to track what your customers and audiences do and like, however, this gives you more space to get to know them personally and not only base your action on analytics.
4. Recession influence
We already see that the recession is rapidly influencing the market and buying power. The advertising industry is visible too! From Twitter Blue badge certification subscription, Facebook forcing their “boost content” campaign after every single post you make, and now implementation of Blue Badge aka Meta Verified certification subscriptions, to the LinkedIn offering, not 50 Euro, but 100 Euro coupons for ads.. and there will be more.
All these steps that big tech does ain’t only for collecting more revenue, but to cover the cost which has increased from inflation and lack of business investments into ads. However, this ain’t so bad. It’s a huge slap for them for decreasing the value of organic content which is our number 5 prediction!
5. Organic & and first-hand content to be praised
Recession, Google cookie policy, social matters and lots of copy work will for sure drive audiences to something more simple and far more creative, and on top of all, coming from the real source.
