Top Social Media Marketing Trends to Know in 2025

ㅤ

Social media is constantly changing. In 2024, short form user generated contents like Instagram reels, Youtube shorts were hot topic among us, but what worked last year might not work in 2025. So, it’s important to stay updated on the latest social media marketing trends.

ㅤ

Here are the top social media marketing trends to look for in 2025:

ㅤ

Rise of AI in Social Media

ㅤ

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already here and changing how social media works. If anyone wants to resolve customer queries, chatbots are here to provide us quick replies and personalized suggestions, making things easier for users. AI can simplify complex content on social media, making it easier to understand. It also ensures ads reach the right people at the right time with the right message.

ㅤ

However, relying too much on AI is not a good thing, because at the end people prefers content created by humans over AI. Finding the appropriate balance will be hard, but crucial for success.

ㅤ

Shift to Personalized Content

ㅤ

The era of generic/scripted posts is over. In 2025, brands are focusing heavily on content where creators/influencers are showing their own authentic perspective, to connect with their audience on a deeper level. This shift in behavior means moving away from soulless contents and highlighting raw human experiences and creative storytelling. When people see content that feels relatable to them, they are more likely to engage with it.

ㅤ

Revival of Long-Form Content

ㅤ

Short-form videos may have been the trend in recent years, but long-form content is making a strong comeback in 2025. Why? Because audiences are looking for deeper, more informative content that provides a real value. Long-form content provides in depth knowledge into topics, allowing you to establish your brand as a market leader and build trust with your audience. Even platforms like Instagram and YouTube are expanding their focus to longer formats, livestreams to make them a success.

Content Focused on Local Taste

ㅤ

Remember when every other influencers/content creators are visiting abroad and making reels after reels bombarding our feed – that type of content is saturated in the market and people don’t want to see the type of content that they are not resonating with in their day to day life. Creating content that is relevant to the local audience, such as highlighting local events like concerts, meetup, partnering with local businesses which we love, using local hashtags like #KolkataBusinesses or #DelhiEvents, collaboration with local influencers – these can help you to connect with your community and drive local sales.

ㅤ

For small and medium businesses, this trend can be a game-changer in attracting nearby customers and to stay relevant.

ㅤ

Growth of Newsletters and Written Content

ㅤ

While video content is a more go to choice for us with the widespread of mobile devices and low cost mobile data, written content like newsletters are gaining popularity for its ability to build meaningful relationships with the audiences. It provides a direct line of communication with your audience, allowing you to share exclusive content and build relationships. Platforms like Substack and LinkedIn newsletters are becoming increasingly popular due to this type of strategy.

ㅤ

In-App Search Optimization

ㅤ

In 2025, in-app search optimization will be a priority, platforms like YouTube and Instagram is becoming crucial as younger users turn to these apps to search their queries.
