Posted by

Over the past few years, we have experienced the growth of social media. Its evolution has brought about many advancements in the way we share information, stories, and updates with not just our close family and friends but people around the globe.

Add artificial intelligence (AI) to the mix and you’ve got a (somewhat) friendly beast that is actively predicting and learning from your online behaviour. This is done to provide a more customized user experience and it cuts through some of the noise.

What does this constant evolution mean for businesses trying to reach their customers in more personal ways? That’s where social media marketing comes in. With frequent updates to algorithms on Facebook and Instagram among others, the social media universe is becoming more and more competitive. This, in turn, means it won’t be as easy as it was before for you to engage with your audience.

But, name me a marketer who doesn’t like a challenge.

You may be wondering how can you keep up with the latest in social media marketing techniques and improve your brand/service presence if the landscape keeps changing. These books, blogs, and podcasts we’ve curated should help you scratch the surface.
