Falcon.io, a Cision company, has released the latest edition of its annual Digital Marketing Trends Handbook. This is the fourth edition of the handbook, which lists the 15 trends most likely to affect marketers in 2020. The trends are based on industry research, Falcon.io’s expertise, as well as input from customers, partners and influencers. 

While the trends vary, they all represent both the challenges and opportunities for digital marketers in 2020 and beyond. Some of the topics explored include:

• How private messaging apps are taking over customer service
• The latest evolution of social media advertising
• How the demand for authenticity is changing influencer marketing

“The sheer volume of digital and social media formats now available can be overwhelming, and digital marketers are working in an industry that’s changing every day,” explained Rachel Kador, Content Marketing Specialist at Falcon.io. “Added to which, marketers have to also contend with how quickly customer behavior is changing.”
