To succeed in 2023 and connect with your audience on a deeper level, creating dynamic, visually-driven content is the way forward.

Here are some social media marketing and advertising tips that will help you engage and inspire your audience in 2023:

Thought-leadership will take center stage in content marketing

82% of web users or online shoppers report that thought leadership content has cemented their trust in a brand or business.

In 2023 and beyond, advertisers and marketers will begin to use their content to enlighten and educate their target audience. By creating original thought-leadership content, you will boost your brand awareness while establishing trust and authority in your niche.

To help you ‘go big’ with your ad and marketing content in 2023, here are some golden thought-leadership rules to consider:

1. Prioritize innovating and inspiring rather than being overly sales-y or promotional.

2. Use real-world case studies, examples and data in your ad or marketing content to give your thoughts and insights credibility.

3. Speak in plain, simple language that is accessible to all rather than using confusing industry jargon.

4. Give your readers a little mystery or space to form their own opinions and ideas to keep the conversation going and boost engagement.

5. Use marketing action words naturally in your copy where possible to keep your content punchy.

Advertising will go more native

By the end of 2020, 80% of all web traffic included some form of native video advertising. And, while the official data is yet to be released for 2021, we expect native advertising to rise as a new year dawns.

Native advertising is a branch of marketing where the ad content weaves itself in with the format and context of the host publication or surrounding  content. For example, a native ad on social media displays as a social media post and a native ad featured on Google looks like every other search result on the page.

The reason native advertising is set to explode in 2023 is because its intuitive, adaptable, and unintrusive. As mentioned earlier, today’s consumers command a meaningful brand experience across every channel or touchpoint—and that’s exactly what native advertising delivers.

If you’re looking to capture the attention of your audience where they are most engaged and deliver the kind of content that inspires them to connect with your brand, native advertising should become an essential part of your strategy in 2023.
