- Marketers will invest more of their budget and time into social ads, tailoring each ad more specifically to platform best practices. Hootsuite predicts that the largest increase in spending will go towards TikTok, Pinterest, and Snapchat.
- Social Media will also play a larger customer service role as consumers often turn to these platforms for queries or complaints, especially in these turbulent pandemic times.
