Video marketing:

Social media influencers:

This is an up and coming marketing trend that is taking the digital world by storm. The advantage of using a social media influencer is that they already have a well-established fan base and also a certain amount of goodwill that is already established. So, by collaborating with an influencer you are tapping into a new reservoir of potential customers for your agency. To avoid pressure from your competition, try to build a long-lasting relationship with a brand.  When building a campaign with an influencer, marketers need to be savvy and smart. They need to know that fans will call them out if they find out that the promotion of a product is being pushed on them, so they need to promote their brand organically.

Chatbots:

Chatbots have been around for the last ten years, the only difference being is that with the technological advancements happening in the Artificial Intelligence field right now, it has become more prominent than ever.
