With more than 4 billion people using the internet for an average of 6 hours each per day, digital has become an
essential part of everyday life for most of us. We’re using that connectivity in almost every aspect of our lives,
whether it’s chatting with friends, playing games, researching products, tracking our health, or even finding
love. As a result, brands need to evolve beyond today’s siloed approach to digital, and build seamless digital
integration into everything they do – just as our audiences already have. Here are some tips to help with that:
WE ARE SOCIAL’S ANALYSIS: DIGITAL IN 2018
Start with what people
really need and want,
and not just what the
technology can do
Focus on creating
mutual value at every
opportunity, instead of
simply ‘selling more stuff’
Make it easy for people
to buy online as soon
as they’re ready,
wherever they are
Harness digital tools to
keep the conversation
going, even after you
make a successful sale

mean for your brand, click here to download our Think Forward report.

HOOTSUITE’S PERSPECTIVE: 2018 SOCIAL TRENDS
The evolution of social ROI. It's the end of the road for vanity metrics. Expect to see more organisations evolve their metrics
as they look to quantify social’s contribution to tangible business challenges such as lowering costs, increasing revenue,
mitigating risk, and attracting talent.
Mobile fuels the growth of social TV. In 2018, social networks will encourage brands to become broadcasters as mobile
video and social-TV content take the spotlight. We advise caution here as the metrics that bump the stock price of social
networks—such as mobile video views—might not help your organisation achieve your own business outcomes.
Trust declines, while peer influence rises. From Trump’s tumultuous triumph over traditional media to the fake news
phenomenon, we saw a shift in media culture in 2017. It’s clear we’re moving away from trusting traditional institutions—and
moving towards smaller spheres of influence where customer communities and engaged employees matter more than ever.
Humans, meet AI. The machines have risen. And marketers have discovered they can be delightfully useful. But while
marketers rush ahead with chatbots and AI-generated content, it’s still unclear whether customers will value these human-
less engagements.
The promise (and reality) of social data. From tying together analytics systems to CRM integrations, marketers
underestimated the complexity of social data initiatives. Organisations must recalculate the effort and resources needed to
turn social data into a true—and unified—source of customer insights.
Click here to download our 2018 Social Media Trends Toolkit to align
your strategy with the year’s key social network and digital trends.
