TRANSPARENT DATA HANDLING DESTINED TO LOOM LARGE IN ‘25

Brands understand nurturing trust among their customers and prospects remains paramount. In order to gain and keep that trust, they will increasingly find it necessary to embrace “transparent data handling” this coming year. This term refers to brands being honest and sincere about their collection, utilization, storage and sharing of data. Brands will be expected to collect only data needed for specific purposes, control who can access and tweak data, maintain clear and readily understandable privacy policies about data collection and use and be accountable for any data mishandling.

We’ve only just begun to tap the lengthy list of expected digital marketing trends for the coming year. Now let’s move on to several additional drivers expected to be key in ’25.

  • Socially shoppable. Social media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram will increase opportunities for customers to “live shop” while viewing live streaming content, representing a major social media opportunity for brands.
  • Purpose-driven. Customers will expect brands to undertake sustainable practices and use data to support diversity, equity and inclusion DEI in their marketing messages. Doing so will help avoid bias and ensure fairness and equity in use of data analytics.
  • AR, VR Gain Ground. With customers increasingly seeking immersive experiences, augmented reality will allow products to be tried on or visualized in customers’ homes, and virtual reality will enable experience-backed purchase decisions.
