Here are some 5 Quick Takeaways:
Building brand strategies with a social-first priority fosters a better relationship between consumers and the brands they follow.
As audiences are trained to demand and consume more, true engagement means delivering smarter, customized content across every platform.
Creatives and storytellers should make social content not just entertaining, but intuitive to the human experience. So, create content that has a sense of immediacy and cultural relevance.
Advertisements are no longer a singular story. Consider marketing strategies as an entire consumer journey of mini-stories that tell a larger branded narrative, and gives consumers the chance to attach their own experience to it.
Reformatting content for Snapchat and Instagram is budget-friendly, but audiences will tune out. Brands need to start “future-proofing” the assets they create for content in partnership with creative studios.
