Let’s try and summarize that…
1. Generative AI is becoming ubiquitous across the social platforms
2. Collaboration is a big focus for Instagram
3. UGC is essential for brand growth
4. TikTok is shaping up to become the new Google
5. YouTube continues to be a strong and underutilized platform
6. Keep an eye on Twitter alternatives, but often early ‘hype’ is just that.
