October 3, 2024 Key Trends: Digital Marketing in 2024

Digital marketing is a world that is changing constantly – and very quickly.

For example, 2023 saw rapid changes related to artificial intelligence. In 2024, this trend is expected to continue to evolve and impact all areas of marketing.

It is also expected that brands that do things for the common good, not just for their own profit, will become more in demand. In order to succeed in 2024, there are certain digital marketing trends to consider that will help with this.

For example, social media continues to compete for consumer attention in 2024, with the focus of dominance expected to descend from Platform X with its dramatic stories towards Instagram Threads and Bluesky. Other platforms have chances to win organic traffic as well.

Threads, for example, with its 100 million monthly users, rightly claims a steady increase as the platform allows you to ask questions and participate in discussions.

The growth of artificial intelligence capabilities in 2024 is exponential and therefore, companies only need to capitalize on these opportunities in order not to get lost in the incredibly fast-changing landscape of digital marketing. That being said, all AI platforms are evolving rapidly, literally forcing users to constantly change their marketing strategies every few months or even weeks.

SEO

As far as the field of SEO is concerned, it still works and costs a lot of money. But this sphere is also changing – its future will be more technology-driven and as user-centered as possible. And the latter is especially important – in 2024, AI allows you to target not even his actions, but his intentions.

So, great content has always been important, but in 2024, in order to appear in search results, you have to be the best at it. That is, create content better than AI does. Here’s the interesting thing though – backlinks continue to work, even though they are not in the top 3 most important factors for ranking.

Paid advertising becomes important in a highly competitive environment – it allows you to reach your target audience with relevant messages. The pay-per-click model remains tempting as it allows marketers to control costs to a large extent. That said, Google remains the leader in this area.

User incentives

Equally important is the use of various incentive systems. All people like to receive gifts, and many services actively use this knowledge to attract customers. The iGaming sphere can be taken as an example, as almost all online casinos and bookmakers try to attract their users with promo code bonuses and other promotions.

Our authors have studied the bonus policy of modern well-known operators, and found out that the leader of user preferences Mostbet actively attracts new customers with a variety of bonus offers. To get these gifts, it is enough to find out the Mostbet promo code and use it when registering. After that, as well as replenishment of the account, the bonus will be activated automatically.

What problems the industry is experiencing

In 2024, it is worth paying attention to such a problem as data leakage and misuse of data. Because of this, companies suffer significant financial losses and lose the trust of customers. Privacy is becoming a big issue, so customers want to know exactly how companies are using the data they collect about them. Transparency is definitely a new yet extremely important trend.

Despite the digital transformation. that many companies are experiencing, the shortage of digital marketing professionals is still a problem. And with companies making significant layoffs and fierce competition among job seekers. This leaves the question of whether it is worth focusing on one area of digital marketing or whether it is better to be a generalist.

The year 2024 is both challenging and exciting for marketers, with many trends, among which we can highlight the main one – the active use of AI, which will make it possible not to be left behind, including in the labor market.
