Happy New Year! Here's your digital marketing update for today, January 2nd, 2024:
Big Topics:
- Goodbye, third-party cookies! Google officially started restricting website access to them for 1% of Chrome users. This is a gradual phase-out, so prepare for a cookie-less future by focusing on first-party data, contextual targeting, and identity solutions.
- Instagram Reels take the crown: According to Emplifi, Reels outperformed both TikTok and Facebook for branded video content in 2023. Notably, longer Reels (up to 90 seconds) seem to be the key.
- Pop culture nostalgia is hot: Take notes from Geico's successful Super Bowl campaign featuring the return of the Caveman. Nostalgia can be a powerful tool for brand engagement.
Other trends to watch:
- Voice Search: Optimizing for voice queries becomes increasingly important as voice assistants gain popularity.
- In-house agencies on the rise: Brands are investing more in building their own internal marketing teams, leading to improved output and sophistication.
- AI in marketing: Generative AI and other technologies are opening up new possibilities for personalization, content creation, and data analysis.
Remember, this is just a snapshot. Stay up-to-date by following industry publications, attending conferences, and connecting with other marketers.
