#4: Cookies, the end of tracking

The announcement by Google of the end of its famous cookies, has caused a real upheaval in the world of digital marketing. This novelty will revolutionize the marketing strategy of many brands based on social ads. Indeed, the end of cookies means the end of tracking and therefore a new balance to find with less targeting and performance measurement for advertisers. Companies will no longer be able to track the path of Internet users on websites and therefore target their interests in their digital marketing strategy.

#5: Social selling

We find more and more e-commerce on social media platforms. Notably, the shopping feature on Instagram that allows for a much smoother buying process as it allows for purchases to be made without having to leave the app. In 2022, brands will have to completely rethink their shopping journey by adapting to the different platforms and take advantage of them.

Influencer marketing is nowadays an important communication channel and is increasingly used in marketing strategies. This channel allows for better results and less risk. The brands that will stand out from the crowd will be those that manage to find the right influencers to reach their objectives. Be careful to select them well... According to their engagement rate, their community and especially their authenticity.
