In this day and age, the sense of belongingness to be an accepted member of a group or community is proving to be of so much value, more than ever. It’s a strong and inevitable human emotion that people will need and yearn for, whatever kind of relationship it may be. In the social media community, part of making your customers feel that they belong to the group is making them feel heard. Social listening can help you understand how people feel about you and your brand. It could be a five-star review on your product or service or it could also be a not so great feedback. Everyone has a voice and opinion, and no matter how positive or negative their views may be, taking time to consider their thoughts could help improve your brand. They might have seen some areas for improvement that you may have missed, and could give you a pat on the back that you truly deserve. In turn, engaging with your community and showing the human side of your brand will allow your audience to feel that they are valued and they belong to a community that lifts each other and shares the same goals.

How Video Consumption is Changing in 2020
Consumers are beginning to rely on marketing videos from brands.
While brands are seeing higher engagement than ever from video marketing, consumers increasingly expect to see this type of content from brands. Even back in 2018, a whopping 87% of consumers said they wanted to see more video from brands in the next year.

The Top 14 LinkedIn Tools to Grow Your Business in 2020
One of the differences between LinkedIn and other social networks is its enhanced privacy. Unlike with Facebook, for example, you can’t normally message people outside your network. It’s also harder to grow your network or increase your LinkedIn connections, because you need to know someone who can introduce you to an intended contact.
While the enhanced privacy makes it more difficult, the decision-making demographic that is strong on LinkedIn make it a great place for social selling, especially because people in their profiles tend to focus more on their professional lives instead of hosting vacation photos.

Top 5 reasons why marketing leaders won’t change with the times
Marketing leaders who don’t “look up”
Many marketing departments have been set in place years ago and now operate on auto-pilot.
An example: Last year, I was working with a Fortune 100 company on its U.S. marketing strategy. They had put a social media marketing content department in place in 2010 … which seemed like a pretty good idea at the time.
But the world has changed … a lot. This department has been cranking out the same type of content for 10 years and none of it works any more — Literally a waste of millions of dollars of effort every year.
This organization is in a coma. They have not looked up to see that the world has passed them by. They have a job to do and so they keep doing it, as long as there is a budget in place to support their work.
