The evolution of social media platforms into broad ecosystems encompassing shopping and customer relations is radically changing brands' digital strategies. Values such as trust, loyalty, and qualified engagement are now determining success instead of superficial metrics like follower counts.

Transition from Vanity Metrics to Loyalty

Success criteria in brands' social media strategies are changing. Vanity metrics such as follower counts or reach are being replaced by trust, qualified engagement, and customer loyalty.

Corporate Data and CRM Strategy

While platforms are used for discovery and engagement, it is critically important for brands to protect their own CRM and data infrastructures as corporate memory. A "customer-first" approach reduces platform dependency.

Transformation of Agencies and Artificial Intelligence

In today's world where artificial intelligence increases production speed, it is no longer considered sufficient for agencies to merely produce content. Competencies in defining the right problem and strategic leadership have become the new keys to success for agencies.

New Approach in Influencer Collaborations

Long-term partnerships established with influencers who inspire trust and evoke a "one of us" feeling, rather than celebrities with massive follower counts on social media, have become more valuable for brands.
