The digital world
The digital world is continuously changing and evolving. The rate at which things are moving is simply astounding. The speed with which technology is advancing has made it increasingly difficult for businesses to keep up.
This blog post will give you all the information you need in one place to stay on top of your game when it comes to staying informed about new digital trends and innovations. An organization’s ability to adapt to change quickly is pivotal to its success in today’s highly competitive business landscape.
Therefore, organizations must understand what new digital trends are emerging and how they can be used strategically as part of a broader innovation strategy. The following blog post covers the most significant changes we have witnessed over the last year in terms of technology, content marketing, artificial intelligence, voice search, and other noteworthy developments among digital marketers and content creators.
Content Marketing: Where we are, where we’re going, and the road ahead
Digital marketers have always been caught in the crosshairs of opposing trends. For example, earlier this decade, marketers were being urged to concentrate on mobile-first since people were primarily consuming content on their smartphones.
Then, they became focused on creating visual content as statistics showed that visuals were 40 times more likely to be shared than plain text. Now, digital marketers are being urged to shift their focus back to written content – or “evergreen content,” as some marketers call it.
Voice search: The rise of voice-based user interfaces
Voice search has been catching on for a while, and it is expected to become the standard way of interacting with search engines. For example, instead of typing “what are the best restaurants in New York City?”, a person would simply say it out loud.
Voice search can be expected to become even more common with the advent of smart speakers and speakers with integrated AI assistants. When you consider that 91% of people don’t read web content, and only 8% read it thoroughly, it’s easy to see why voice search is likely to become even more dominant.
This is why it will be important for marketers to optimize their content for voice search.
Artificial Intelligence: What you need to know now
There has been a lot of talk about AI in the news lately—a lot of it exaggerated and fear-mongering. While it is true that the changes AI will bring won’t happen overnight, it is important to be aware of some of the most critical implications for marketers. Here are some of the most significant changes AI will bring:
– Content will be created by machines: At the moment, AI systems are being used to create marketing content like social media posts and ads. This is expected to expand to other types of content as well.
– Bots will become more sophisticated: Bots are already a part of our daily lives. This will only increase as they become more sophisticated. They will become better at understanding the intent of people who communicate with them and will be able to respond in a more human-like way.
– Voice search will become normalized: The rise of voice search is already changing the way people interact with their devices. This normalization will expand to include more types of devices as the technology improves. – Virtual assistants will become more useful:
The virtual assistants that people can talk to, like Google Assistant and Siri, will become more useful as they start understanding people’s intentions better and become able to act upon them.
3D/VR Content Publishing Is Going To Be Big
If you’re not yet familiar with the concept of 3D content creation and publishing, you’re not alone. However, the 3D content publishing industry is expected to become more prominent over the next year.
There are several VR tools available for creating VR experiences. VR content publishing has already proven to be an effective marketing tool in industries like real estate and tourism.
It will be interesting to see how other marketing industries such as fashion and sports use VR/AR to create an immersive experience for their customers.
Chatbots Are Here To Stay
Chatbots have been around for a while, but lately, they have been making a bigger splash in the marketing world. This is probably because AI has progressed to the point where chatbots are more useful than ever before.
Although they are not a replacement for humans, chatbots have proven that they can be a very helpful tool when it comes to customer service. Chatbots can handle simple customer queries and requests.
They don’t replace the need for a human completely, but they can handle a lot of queries, leaving humans to handle more complex issues.
Conclusion
