Despite the debates around privacy, disinformation and influencer authenticity; social media continues to fuel our digital lives. The biggest change is how. With ever evolving platforms, trends, and even content types, social is growing increasingly complex and discerning fact from fiction is becoming progressively more difficult. What will be the biggest trends for marketers in 2020? Chris Walts, Social Strategy Lead at Ogilvy UK, and Kanika Bali, Social Strategist at Ogilvy Hong Kong share their insights.

With increased digital media consumption, comes increased expectations. Brands are challenged on a daily basis to share engaging visual media across all social channels. In this imagery-driven environment, we have seen video come out on top as the most valued type of content. While video is expected to continue to grow, another major consideration is the increased importance of personalization. Personalization requires brands to look at content differently. How do you scale the required content while meeting the personalization needs that brands are looking for? This talk will discuss strategies that brands are using to localize and personalize content as it becomes an increasingly crucial element of consumer engagement and loyalty.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

19. what they experts are saying
Nancy Bhagat, Vice President of Marketing Strategy, Intel
We are going to see a huge increase in location-based marketing. With the
rapid proliferation of devices, and the explosion of the Internet of Things,
people will be carrying, utilizing, and depending on their devices more than
ever. As part of the increased dependency, there is an increased
expectation of services and personalization.
Michael Brenner, Vice President of Global Marketing, SAP
As brands, we need to kill promotional marketing messages and start
providing customer-centric information that is helpful to our target
customers. But we need to go even further than that if we want to break
through all the noise.
Susan Emerick, Mgr. of Enterprise Social Strategy & Programs, IBM
Cognitive computing is next big digital trend. More specifically, the
beginning of a new era, where systems learn and interact naturally with
people. Applying this to marketing and communications will help us
better understand, anticipate and respond to customers.

20. what they experts are saying
Suzanne Fanning, President, Word of Mouth Marketing Association
Marketers will continue to seek out real-time opportunities and intensify
their speed of interacting in “the moment.” The key disruptive digital
trends we’ve seen successfully join the forces of mobile and social together
to reach audiences at the heart of their digital usage.
Mark Curtis, CEO of BRANDERATI
2014 will be a year of advocacy: marketers realizing that with growth of
their social communities stagnating and the big content machine churning
24/7 they need a more cost-effective and more impactful way to reach
current and new customers long-term in a sustainable way.
David Berkowitz, Chief Marketing Officer of MRY
Marketers are going to have to come to terms with disappearing social
media. This is much bigger than Snapchat. So much content shared today
is private, and it often disappears, so marketers aren’t readily able to track
and target such consumers. Expect marketers to explore new, creative
ways of reaching consumers who prioritize privacy.

21. what they experts are saying
Noah Elkin, Principal Analyst, eMarketer
Mobile will take on a role far greater than simply serving as a substitute
computing device. This shift will continue to affect path to purchase in
dramatic ways, hugely disrupting for marketing. Consumers’ ubiquitous
connectivity now means they are, in effect, always in the consideration
phase.
Dave Kerpen, CEO, Likeable Local
In 2014, we will see increased pressures on companies of all sizes to pay to
sponsor their posts to get more visibility, as getting consumers’ attention in
social media becomes increasingly difficult. This will be hardest on small
businesses, who obviously have fewer resources than big brands. Social
media will increasingly become a pay-to-play channel.
Jay Baer, Digital Marketing Consultant
Led by news/information websites and fueled by social networks, 2014 will
be the year “Advertorial 2.0” becomes a major part of the marketing mix.
This has far-reaching implications for consumers, authenticity, journalism,
marketing budgets, and the role of agencies.
