Are Marketers Struggling to Keep Up with Social Trends?
Social media is no longer new, but it’s still a turbulent space. Just a couple years ago MySpace was on top of the world, only to be ousted unceremoniously by crowds flocking to Facebook. Twitter crept onto the scene and then exploded with growth in 2009, putting itself on every marketer’s radar. New trends are developing in the social location-based area, and that’s not counting the seemingly constant mergers, acquisitions, startups and failures. Little wonder that marketers find it difficult to stay on top of the hottest social media trends. A May 2010 survey from staffing firmThe Creative Group found that 65% of US marketing executives considered it at least somewhat challenging to keep up.
