Marketing Land’s Tim Peterson has summarized the seven most important most noticeable trends in the social media marketing in the year 2017.

Peterson has talked about the following trends.

  • Snap went public
  • Instagram’s Stories audience overtook Snapchat’s
  • Facebook rolled out mid-roll ads
  • Twitter gained users, lost money
  • LinkedIn turned on retargeting
  • Pinterest put a new Lens on visual search
  • Facebook’s Messenger raised chatbots’ profiles.

He says, “The social marketing landscape shifts so quickly that a half-year review isn’t so much ridiculous as almost requisite, if only to keep track of what has changed already in 2017.

When 2016 ended, Snapchat was a social darling, Facebook videos could be watched uninterrupted, and Instagram’s Stories product was smaller than Snapchat’s original”.
