Social Media Trends and Updates: April 11, 2024
Welcome to this week's social media trends and updates! In this edition, we'll explore the latest happenings in the world of social influencers, platforms, and marketing strategies.
**1. Video is King with a Long-Form Twist**
Video content continues to dominate social media, but with a new twist: long-form videos are gaining popularity. Brands are experimenting with longer video formats to tell more in-depth stories and engage their audiences. This trend is particularly evident on platforms like Instagram, where users can now upload Reels up to 3 minutes in length.
**2. Playful Content and Nostalgia Marketing**
Playful content is the new "brand" on social media. Brands are embracing a more lighthearted and entertaining approach to connect with their audiences. Additionally, nostalgia marketing is making a comeback, with brands leveraging the power of memories and shared experiences to create emotional connections with their followers.
**3. Social Data Informs Business Strategy**
Social media data has the power to inform every area and team of your organization, from product development to customer support and PR. Companies that don't use social data to inform their wider business will undoubtedly fall behind. Brands are encouraged to demonstrate the value of social data to other teams and streamline their strategy for maximum impact.
**4. Instagram Updates**
Instagram has introduced several updates, including a 'Trending Now' section in Threads, ads with promo codes, new DM features, an enhanced carousel post feature, and a collaborative engagement feature for Reels called "Spins". Instagram has also updated how hashtags work, linking users directly to broader search results when tapped.
**5. TikTok Updates**
TikTok is introducing a new Data Portability API, allowing users to download and utilize their TikTok data according to their preferences. The platform is also expanding monetization options for creators by allowing them to offer subscription packages. Additionally, TikTok might be testing a new app called "TikTok Photos" and has revealed an expansion of its Effect Creator Rewards program.
**6. LinkedIn Updates**
LinkedIn is aiming to strengthen its relationships with publishers and enhance industry-specific engagement. The platform is also broadening its Thought Leader ads to encompass a branded content promotion feature and launching dynamic UTM parameters for ad campaigns.
**7. Pinterest Updates**
Pinterest has released guidance on integrating inclusivity into marketing and advertising strategies. The platform is also expanding its "Body Type Ranges" search filter to women’s fashion and wedding searches, making it easier for users to find matches that suit their body types.
**8. Top Social Media Influencers**
The list of top social media influencers is constantly evolving, with celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi, and Selena Gomez leading the chart. Brands continue to leverage the persuasive behavior of influencers to reach and engage new audiences.
That's it for this week's social media trends and updates! Stay tuned for more insights and news in the world of social influencers and platforms.
