Spain
As 2023 ends and we welcome 2024 in a highly competitive business environment, it is time to catch up and stand out to engage prospective customers and consumers. Staying on top of trends, keeping up to date and jumping on the innovation bandwagon offer a great competitive advantage to the companies. Strategic communication and PR provide the opportunity to design and maintain relationships with a target audience, build a positive brand or organisation identity, and work to enhance its value.
5 trends you cannot miss in 2024:
Artificial Intelligence will continue to make waves thanks to its potential to improve content creation and message personalisation. AI allows us to analyse and understand how customers interact with brands, enabling the creation and implementation of more personalised and efficient communication strategies.
Storytelling becomes important as a tool that sets an emotional bond with the consumer through a story that conveys the message and values of the brand. In an increasingly digitalised world, the priority will be digital storytelling, which will differentiate us from the competition by creating stories where more photographs, videos and other media will convey the message to the target audience in a more engaging way.
Event gamification to generate unique and more effective experiences. This technique, aimed at dynamizing, entertaining and communicating messages, works extremely well. It allows attendees to get involved in an event by boosting their motivation, concentration, and loyalty using video games and recreational applications.
Micro-influencers will gain relevance as part of the strategy: brands are seeking collaborations to access specific market niches and build sheer connections with committed, close and loyal audiences.
Quality prioritised over quantity in communication strategies. The key issue is reaching the right audiences through media with credibility, influence, and weight, which will provide more visibility and reputation to the brand. The current trend takes an approach focused on the interests and needs of media, journalists, or influencers, to gain quality coverage by means of more exclusive formats such as interviews, opinion articles, special collaborations, or guest blogging.
