The Future of Social Media

I grew up in the age of broadcast media

“Flip  The  Funnel:  Reten9on  is  the  New  Acquisi9on”  -­‐-­‐  Joe  Jaffe  (@jaffejuice)  

Photoshopped advertising

Interruption Marketing

Advertising turns up the volume and shoves crafted messages at us

Marketers are always pitching their

products and services

I had to unlearn what I’d been taught in business school!

To practice social media,

Because Social Media is about conversations.

•  Amateurs with time!

•  No space limitations!

•  Self-editing!

•  No Deadlines!

•  Sharing and participating!

Social Media changed my career

What’s next? But lately I’ve been wondering …

“The future is already

here – it's just not

evenly distributed.”

~William Gibson

M.O.V.I.E. My acronym for what’s next

in social media

M.O.V.I.E. M is for Mobile

The Future of Social Media

"Mobile to overtake fixed Internet access by 2014” ~Mary Meeker, 2008

Mary Meeker was right!

4 out of 5 people access social media on their mobile phones!

1.23 billion monthly active users 945 million monthly active mobile users

757 million daily active users 556 million daily active mobile users

77% of total monthly users and 73% of daily users access from mobile devices

More than half of its advertising revenue comes from mobile (53%)

Facebook is a mobile company

60  percent  of  all  searches  came  from  a  mobile  device.  

In  response  to  this  Google  is  changing  its  search  algorithm  to  reward  sites  that  are  mobile  op9mised.  

Mobilegeddon!

So … Make sure your website is responsive and mobile-friendly!

(because your visitors are on their mobile devices)

100 million active users

70% are women

30% of users are over 25 years old

1% of businesses use Snapchat

300 million active users monthly

75 million active users daily

50x more engagement than on Twitter

40 million users

12 million videos added a day

25% of teens use Vine

Top Viners have a lot of influence

M.O.V.I.E. O Is for Obsolescence

The Future of Social Media

Social Media experts, gurus, and ninjas? Obsolete!

Obsolescence: the state of

being which occurs when an

object, service, or practice is

no longer wanted even though

it may still be in good working

order.

•  Social Media is too new and too large a field to be an expert

•  Each social platform, service, and app is continuously being updated with new features – especially Facebook

•  Social media requires a wide range of expertise, including community engagement, project management, data analysis, public speaking, event management, writing, photo, video, and graphic skills, SEO, online advertising, business acumen, technical skills, and more

•  New social platforms and services are being launched every week

•  Social media is just one (important) part of a larger marketing and customer service program

Social media practitioners must continually learn new skills … or they risk obsolescence.

M.O.V.I.E. V is for Video

The Future of Social Media

Facebook Video is Now Bigger Than YouTube for Brands

Facebook videos receive more than 80% of all video interactions

Social Video

Video storytelling is emotionally compelling

Tell your story and display your products with beautiful or humorous messages

Video influencers can really amplify your message

Regular users create a lot of content – enlist them as part of your strategy through contests or samples

Social  video  wars!  

1.  There  will  be  many  more  social  video  services  

2.  You  cannot  use  both  Periscope  and  Snapchat  at  the  same  9me  

3.  Periscope  is  synchronous,  Snapchat  is  asynchronous  

4.  Snapchat  is  beRer  for  storytelling,  Periscope  is  meant  for  livestreaming  

M.O.V.I.E. I is for Integrated

The Future of Social Media

Social media is

increasingly becoming

integrated into our lives,

through …

Wearables and connected cars and homes …

Augmented Reality

The Sharing Economy

M.O.V.I.E. E is for Entertainment

The Future of Social Media

Perfect for short attention spans

People love positive content & affirmations

Satire also works well

There’s a fascination with selfies

Narcissism is self-entertainment

Personal Branding is also a type of self-entertainment

People increasingly use social media to entertain others and themselves

Virtual reality is a lot about entertainment

One more thing about social media …

Dark Social

The Future of Social Media

Dark Social refers to the untraceable sharing activities that take place mainly on messaging apps, email, and Twitter clients

The red rows are dark social

Facebook owns Whatsapp & Messenger

Dark social also includes email

The more things change ….

… the more they stay the same

What doesn’t change

•  Storytelling

• Titles and headlines

•  Pay to play

•  Engagement & Word of Mouth

• Analytics & ROI

Storytelling & Compelling Content

•  Find your core and connect through your passions

•  Open the side door: “The Making Of” & “B-Roll”

•  It’s about your customers, not you: provide support

•  Use outside voices: videos and interviews

•  Ask big questions, challenge people to think big

•  Be real and be yourself: share your own challenges and opportunities

•  People love a good story
