Authenticity & Relatability at the Center
“Perfect” is boring. Audiences increasingly value content that seems “real”: intentional imperfections, spontaneous moments, live-shot video, behind-the-scenes stories. Brand narratives must be human, consistent with values, transparent, empathetic. People are looking for brands they can relate to, not just buy from. Why does it matter? Because it builds trust, differentiation, and greater engagement.
Video (in all its forms), but rethought
Video remains the dominant format: Reels, Shorts, short clips to grab attention. At the same time, there is a rediscovery of long-form: streaming, in-depth video, podcasts, richer video/text hybrid blogs. Mixed formats (short video + carousel, video + text, live + Q&A, etc.) are used to attract AND engage more deeply.
Generative AI & Smart Optimization
Generative AI is no longer an experiment: it has become an integral part of content production, from automatic writing (captions, copy, ideas) to creative elaboration. But caution: audiences can tell the “human factor,” and are less inclined to engage with content that feels too “machine-made” if it lacks an empathetic or personal touch. Social listening tools or predictive analytics are models that help anticipate emerging trends, now indispensable.
Micro-Virality & Rapid Cultural Trends
Mass viral reach is no longer the goal: rather, micro-virality — niche trends that become relevant for specific segments which can be engaged authentically. Smart trend-jacking: listening to what’s happening online, interpreting it, but choosing carefully whether to intervene, when the conversation is still relevant.
Digital Culture, Diversity & Sustainability
Being culturally fluent (understanding memes, languages, subcultures, local sensitivities) has become mandatory. A brand that does not “get the context” risks looking out of touch. Diversity, ethics, sustainability are no longer optional, but criteria the audience holds in high regard when evaluating a brand’s value and reliability.
