In the dynamic realm of modern business, digital marketing strategies require adaptations to advanced technology and shifting industry trends. In his book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, published more than 2 decades ago, Robert Kiyosaki foresees information as the most valuable asset of the contemporary world. To keep up in an era marked by an abundance of choices and unimpeded access to information, companies must prioritise carefully crafting the content customers consume. More and more companies have implemented channels dedicated to digital marketing, opening up many different career paths.
“Blueberry milk nails”, “Gorpcore fashion”, “Euro summer”... such offer just a glimpse into the prolific, ever-evolving world of trends - namely microtrends - that filter through our screens on the daily. Characterised by their short-lived popularity and impermanence in mainstream media, microtrends are effectively an accelerated version of the typical trend cycle that shortens their lasting capacity; styles that used to last decades are now considered “out” by the end of the year. Media trends may be better understood when likened to fast fashion; they are produced and disseminated en masse, audiences swiftly over-consume it, and then, due to oversaturation, trends are discarded in favour of newer, more captivating ones.
In digital marketing, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation has emerged as a game-changer, offering marketers unprecedented opportunities to streamline processes, personalise experiences, and drive results.
