5 trends for the year ahead
@drewb @battenhall
1. Vlogging
@drewb @battenhall
The new influencers
@drewb @battenhall
Working with the influencers • To begin with, focus on what you can and
should be saying on social media as a guide
• Consider the role of social media influencers in audience & stakeholder engagement
• Three tiers of influencer – look for agents when working with the top tier. Stay AUTHENTIC
• Maintain good relations with influencers in your space in order to protect your reputation

2. Generation K • The screenagers: YouTube,
Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram are the key social networks for under-24s.
• Snapchat has become THE news channel for teens, who still use Facebook but not in the same way – it has become a messaging system.
• Campaigns must be visual and short to engage this market.
• Be faithful to your brand, don’t patronise.
@drewb @battenhall
Snapchat has the 18-29 community as its biggest market. @domw: “It is the most used app in every classroom I have been in.” Along with Twitter and Instagram, it is one of the most prominent news channels for teens. How to get involved:
• Target Snapchat Discover media • Work with the influencers • Build compelling audience engagement
The Snapchatters

Youth social and future trends “teen social media use dictates future trends across all demographics”

3. Badvertising • Social ads are cheaper than ever.
• Buying your way into a new audience on social media is causing brand damage and a new kind of headache
• In the new social world, ads are evolving faster than brands can evolve. Know your demographic
• Work with community managers to deliver content that is tailored to that audience
• Don’t take short cuts and reuse creative from an offline campaign
@drewb @battenhall
4. Antisocial • WhatsApp and WeChat are bigger than
Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn
• WeChat’s dominance in China over Sina Weibo
• More pics & video is sent over SnapChat daily than Facebook, Instagram and Flickr put together
• Firechat is a top 10 messaging app in The Phillipines, Mexico, Norway, Australia and more
@drewb @battenhall
No automation, no shortcuts, but with quality content, the audience engagement is high as are click through levels. • Invest in a phone and data plan (Android is best)!• Cross-promote on other channels to build your audience!• Use http://web.whatsapp.com!• Ask for feedback and change up the content!• Don’t build bots!
@drewb @battenhall
Privacy is a big driver in messaging app uptake This same trend is cannibalising social media use Firechat is a top 10 messaging app for this reason
Firechat

New in April 2016, launched by former Twitter product boss, it’s like Twitter / forums without the trolls. Anyone can watch, only invited people can contribute.

5. The social CEO (and all of us)
@drewb @battenhall
Twitter and the FTSE 100
We started tracking the FTSE 100 in April 2013
3 3 years of data and our third annual report – battenhall.net/ftse100
@drewb @battenhall
Getting fit for the year ahead What you will need:
1. More kit: smartphones, data plans and editing
2. More time than you think: time set out daily to create content
3. Bespoke measurement dashboards
4. Innovate 1:9:90
@drewb @battenhall
Innovating with 1:9:90 • Spend 90% of your time in social media on
your ‘big bets’ ie internal social networks, Facebook and Twitter
• Spend 9% of your time on innovations
• 1% of time should focus on ‘moon shots’ – the work that pushes boundaries and turns heads
• The impact of Generation K: the Screenagers
Thank you
