65. ×Social media
The rise of new publishing options on Social Media like Instant articles will bring more visibility for
publishers. As Facebook tries to rival search engines to be the gateway for content, other “fringe” Social
Networks aren’t far behind. Networks like, Snapchat, Instagram, etc which were once considered Fringe
are now part of the mainstream. Content Aggregation, like Twitter’s Curator, will enable users to know
about trends instantly and from one place. Paid social will also grow in importance. Social Networks
have continuously reduced organic reach and pushed for their paid options to “boost” views. Paid Social
is only going to grow this year.
×Content
Content personalization will gain importance as it increasingly becomes the only way to cut through the
noise of digital marketing. Creating cool graphical content and focusing more on personalization will be
important. The “Me-to-You” approach in Content Marketing is going to be the focus of a lot of brands in
2016. The Introduction of Google’s Knowledge Graph is going to push publishers to write for the users
instead of search Engines. Interactive content (like GIFs), will be more visible across Timelines.

×Technology
The Virtual reality era in content can finally become a reality. If Facebook’s Video 360 is a big
success and gains traction then there is a good chance that we’ll see a lot of new technological
shifts in content creation. Talking about content creation, algorithms which are going to write
content on their own will be more visible. They are actively generating content even now, but it is
only limited to compiling articles like weather updates. The future will see less reliance on human
effort and more on algorithms. 2016 can show us a glimpse of that future.
×Mobile
Mobile continues to grow rapidly. 2016 will be no different. Content suited for a mobile audience
will be more visible than ever. Campaigns targeted at mobile users will gain more traction, apart
from the ones focused on App downloads.
×2016 is going to bring a lot of innovation in Content.
