Most Powerful Marketing Trends for 2023

Short-form Content

The first powerful marketing trend is the increased amounts of short-form content, typically on social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Short-form content is videos of 60 seconds or less. In the marketing world, short-form video marketing can have various purposes, such as tutorials, brand challenges, promotional videos, influencer collaborations, and more.

Video marketing in general (whether long or short) has its pros, such as being able to communicate visually to your consumers, etc., but it also has its cons, such as being more timely and expensive to produce. However, short-form videos curb this disadvantage because they are shorter in duration and people take quick looks at them. Additionally, due to their length, it is cheaper to produce than long-form content. 

Prioritizing Social Responsibility

In recent years, more companies have publicly presented how they care for society. So, it’s safe to say this is slowly becoming a trend. According to Harvard Business School, 77% of consumers are motivated to purchase from companies with social responsibility, and 55% of Americans believe it’s essential for companies to take a stand on critical social, environmental, and political issues.

So, this is more the reason to show how your company is responsible and caring for society. In addition, publicly demonstrating that your company is sustainable helps enhance a positive brand image and show customers that the brand cares.

Email marketing in recent years has grown to be more successful as personalization is integrated into it because consumers love personalized content.
