Ready for the new year? 👀 I am calling it, 2021 will be The Year of Action. We are predicting increased competition as everyone shifts to digital marketing. We expect to see a lot of creativity and flexibility in the coming months, but that’s not limited to one channel. In the next six months, we will have to work harder and smarter than ever, across channels. The secret sauce? Action.

Expect the trend of Influencer Marketing to continue in 2021, but with more twists. We will see more disclosures and transparency, more native tools, from the social networks themselves, to facilitate collaborations. Read more 2021 trends and predictions at https://lnkd.in/dDCF6-m

Focus on building trust in 2021. I say this every year, but let it sink in this time. Marketing is not just about creating content and working with algorithms. “Doing” is part of it too, so make sure to watch for opportunities to do good, not just sell. Opportunities to participate, collaborate, and share knowledge freely. Make it a common part of your marketing.
