Remember the days of simple logos and catchy slogans for products? Well, that time is long gone. Consumers today are more sophisticated and demand more from their favorite brands. We can’t blame them – it’s clear that the world of branding is absolutely flourishing right now. However, with new technologies emerging and consumer behavior evolving, brands must adapt to stay relevant. See below for our predictions for the future of branding. 

 1. Personalization is King

One of the biggest trends we’re seeing in the branding world is an increased focus on hyper-personalization. With consumers well settled into their algorithms, more colloquially known as,  FYP (For You Page), the spotlight on personalization starts to make sense. Consumers expect brands to provide them with tailored products, services, and experiences that emulate what they receive online and/or on social media. With the future fast approaching, brands must start to invest in more technology that allows for this type of personalization.

2. Power to the Influencers

You log onto TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook… and what do you see? Influencers are everywhere. As you may have noticed, influencers are already a popular marketing tactic for brands to connect with consumers. Consequently, influencers will just be expected in the future. Leading us to predict that marketing will become more sophisticated and contingent upon influencer data and strategy. Leveraging the power of influencers (at any size, nano-to-macro) comes at no easy feat. However, when your brand can seamlessly incorporate the art and science of influencers, that is how you will win over consumers, every time. 

3. Salient Storytelling

Humans, consumers, one-in-the-same, live for a great story. Brands that can tell a compelling story are more likely to capture consumers’ attention and push them further along the purchasing journey. As the future creeps closer to us, we expect to see even more emphasis on storytelling, as brands seek to build deeper connections with their audiences. No stone will be left unturned as brands venture outside of traditional storytelling methods like advertising and content marketing. We predict that brands will become more experimental with various forms of storytelling, such as immersive experiences (VR, AR) and interactive campaigns.

4. The Rise of AI

From a study in 2020 by Statistica, the artificial intelligence (AI) software market is expected to grow by approximately 54% year-on-year. It is with no surprise that AI is another technology that’s set to have a big impact on branding in the future. AI will fundamentally change the way we create content; high-quality content can be generated in minutes. Brands will also be able to use AI to gather data on consumer behavior and preferences, allowing them to create more targeted and effective marketing campaigns.
