With so many different trends up and coming, it is hard to predict which will catch the best wave, but here are the Top 3 Marketing Trends we will be watching in 2023.

Social Media Influencers Are Trending

Influencers have recently come under the spotlight of the consumer watchdog (ACCC) for not disclosing affiliations with the products and companies they were promoting. Yet still, influencer marketing remains on the rise, with 33% of Gen Z’s surveyed making purchases after seeing an influencer’s recommendation. They even rate their recommendations higher than those offered by family or friends. Millennials follow closely behind, with 26% taking heed of an influencer’s recommendation.

The real marketing potential is investing in a long-term partnership with fewer influencers rather than multiple influencers for one-off deals!

Combined with the fact 73% of users prefer to watch a short video when needing to learn about a product or service.
