Content marketing trends you need to know for 2020.

To online businesses, content creation is the way of the future. We can confidently assume that producing high-quality, personalized content will become more critical in going forward — but it will also continue to change just like everything.

1. Video and live-streaming

Recently, video and live streaming have grown enormous thanks to popular platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch — and in 2020 it will only grow bigger. In reality, 54 percent of customers want to see more video content from a brand or company they support, according to HubSpot. So you need to start incorporating more videos if you want your content marketing to connect and engage your audience by 2020.

You’re not confined to Twitter, Twitch or TikTok alone. On a number of different sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and even on your own website, the video does incredibly well. One of the best ways to try out the live streaming phenomenon is with Facebook Live and Instagram Live; for example, your company can host a live Q&A to connect with your audience in real-time.

2.Visuals

One of the most attractive aspects of electronic media is the way the visual medium can be used. Digital social media reigns supreme amongst the next generation of soon-to-be adults. According to Pew Research, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat are the most common platforms where teens hang out. YouTube is the most-used website for adults, also above Facebook. For that reason, content visuals will become more interesting by 2020.

3. Optimizing content for voice search

Smart devices have taken over the industry, and capitalizing on that with content marketing is only sensible. Smart apps have taken over the marketplace, and capitalizing on that through digital marketing is only sensible. NPR and Edison Research’s latest digital audio report estimates that there are now almost 120 million smart speakers in U.S. households, marking 78 percent growth year-over-year.

To use this trend, think about how your audience would use voice search to search for your content.

4.Podcasting

In recent years, podcasts have explosed. Statista estimates that in the last decade, the number of podcast listeners has tripled and this figure is projected to continue to increase as time goes on. This might be the ideal time for your brand to launch a branded podcast.

According to Core DNA, “If there is a strong market in your industry for audio material, you need to make that happen. But, it’s critical that you do that deliberately. It won’t be effective to create a podcast for the sake of doing so; neither will you whip up an episode while your team has some free time, or whenever the mood hits. Instead of making haphazard podcast content from time to time, treat your podcast campaigns just as you do the rest of your marketing efforts.
