Here are 7 key social media marketing trends for 2025 that every business needs to know! We've distilled key insights from our latest episode of, The Social Media Takeaway Podcast (available iTunes, Spotify and on my YouTube Channel). Featuring a panel of 6 industry experts, (Louise Brogan, Samantha Kelly, Anita Wong, and Julie Burke) the episode delves into the latest trends and strategies for platforms like LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube.

1. Short-Form Video Reigns Supreme: Both LinkedIn and YouTube are increasingly prioritizing short-form video content. This caters to shrinking attention spans and the demand for easily digestible information. Businesses should focus on creating concise, engaging videos that deliver value quickly. Consider repurposing existing long-form content into bite-sized snippets for platforms like YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn's new video tab.

2. AI: A Powerful Tool, Not a Replacement: Artificial intelligence (AI) offers valuable tools for enhancing efficiency in social media marketing. However, it's crucial to maintain a human touch. While AI can assist with tasks like content creation and scheduling, it shouldn't completely replace human interaction and creativity.

3. Authenticity Wins: People connect with genuine, human-centered content. Businesses should showcase the people behind their brand, including employees and customers. Share stories, experiences, and insights that resonate with your audience on a personal level. This approach fosters trust and builds stronger relationships.

4. Algorithms Are Changing: Algorithms are no longer just about who you follow—they’re diving deeper, focusing on what truly sparks your interest. Whether it’s TikTok, Instagram, or LinkedIn, platforms are now putting your preferences front and center.

Here’s what that means: your likes, comments, and even how long you watch a video are signals guiding the content you see. The result? A more personalized and engaging feed that feels like it was curated just for you.

For businesses this means that It’s not just about follower count anymore; it’s about connecting through relatable, niche content that resonates. So, if you’re passionate about what you share, this is your time to shine and reach an audience genuinely interested in what you bring to the table.

5. The Crucial Role of Engagement: One of the most significant takeaways from our discussion was the paramount importance of engagement. More influential than just amassing followers, engagement dictates your reach and how effectively you can foster genuine connections with your audience. Engaging with your community can substantially alter your social media success. Whether on Instagram, LinkedIn, or other platforms, engagement is the key to maximizing your presence and influence.

6. Community Building and Influence: People buy from people they know, like, and trust. Building a supportive network isn’t just about transactions—it’s about creating meaningful connections. When you engage deeply with your audience, you’re inviting them into something bigger, whether it’s a conversation, a thoughtful comment, or even an in-person meetup.

7. Staying Ahead by Strategic Planning and Consistency: Planning social media content in advance is crucial for maintaining consistency and ensuring a strategic approach to your social media efforts. If you don't already have a useful tool to plan out your content, check out my 2025 Social Media Content Planner and Guide is now available on Amazon in both Kindle and Paperback formats.
