A New Social Order
The way we currently interact on social platforms is evolving to favor private before public interaction. To stay relevant within social, marketers will have to change the way they think about social potentially by how they measure its value, but more importantly by how they can build and retain interaction on their social channels through this shift.

Deepfakes: The Good, the Bad, and the Murky
Dive in to one of the most relevant techniques combining deep learning (artificial intelligence) and special effects. If you haven’t heard about deepfakes, you might be living under a rock, which might not be a bad thing since this technique is being used to fake politicians’ speeches, to add Nicolas Cage to all sorts of movies and videos, and to create user-generated content for social media.

The Anti-Aesthetic
Every cultural phenomenon that rises to define a generation seems to be followed by an underlying youth counterculture that challenges the social norm. The post-war consumerism and conformity of the 1950s gave way to a radical freedom and rebellion counterculture in the 1960s. The corporate greed “yuppies” of the 1980s set the stage for the teenage slackers who made up the grunge subculture in the 1990s. Most recently, the Pinterest-perfect, Instagram-flawless social media profiles that defined the 2010s will fuel a more digital anarchy among teens in the 2020s.
