Adapting to endure

A defining moment in business gives social media marketers the opportunity to cement their worth 

Toward the end of last year, pandemic restrictions finally started easing up and markets were booming. As we lurch into 2023, things look much more delicate. A looming recession, mounting inflation, declining consumer spending, and workforce reductions across major business sectors have made things precarious for businesses of all sizes. 

Despite this uncertainty, many social media marketers find themselves in a position of relative security—they’re getting larger slices of the overall marketing budget and more agency over their work. After more than a decade of growing pains, social media marketing has finally matured as a profession. 

In 2023, successful social marketers will take the time and effort to carefully assess their opportunities, use a scalpel rather than a cleaver, and think about the long-term impact of their short-term actions. Those who do will cement their worth once and for all. 

We hope our 2023 social media trends report serves you well in the midst of a defining year.
