The world of social media is constantly evolving, and 2023 has been no exception. Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (now X), Instagram’s focus on Reels, and the rise of Threads have shifted how marketers approach social media. 2024 is shaping up to be just as eventful, with emerging trends poised to revolutionize how businesses approach their social media strategies. For businesses looking to stay ahead, here are the nine biggest social media marketing trends to watch out for this year, brought to you by Woohoo Web Technologies.
1. AI Integration in Content Creation
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will continue to make waves in 2024, particularly in content creation for social media. Advanced AI tools will assist brands in generating text, images, and video content at scale. AI will not only draft posts but also analyze trends and optimize content strategies for enhanced performance. By utilizing AI, brands can create engaging, personalized content more efficiently, leaving room for marketers to focus on creativity and strategy.

2. TikTok and LinkedIn to Continue to Dominate
TikTok’s explosive growth shows no signs of slowing down, and in 2024, it will continue to dominate with its short-form video content. At the same time, LinkedIn is expected to remain a top platform for B2B marketing, professional networking, and thought leadership. Brands should maintain a diversified strategy, utilizing TikTok for creative, trend-driven campaigns and LinkedIn for more professional, business-oriented content.

3. Facebook’s Revival of Organic Reach
Facebook is expected to witness a resurgence in organic content reach in 2024, a departure from its ad-heavy past. This shift will present opportunities for brands to focus more on community building and organic engagement, moving away from the solely ad-driven approach. Brands that invest in authentic and meaningful content can benefit from better reach and deeper connections with their audience.

4. Rise of Gated Content on Social Media
Gated content will become a more prevalent trend in 2024. This involves offering exclusive, high-value content, such as webinars or guides, only after users complete a specific action like signing up or making a purchase. Gated content is an excellent tool for lead generation and engaging with a highly qualified audience.
