Digital Marketing Predictions
Brands will succeed by how personal they can get with their marketing.
– Will Bouchard, Paid Search Marketer
Being active in multiple spaces is going to be almost required. While some businesses and industries rely on a few marketing platforms, we’re seeing, more and more, that the influence of multiple channels is what’s driving people to make larger decisions.
– Jonas Levasseur, Vice President of Operations
Netflix will go to the dark side and join Hulu in paid advertising, and both will join Youtube with bumper ads. This will ultimately result in bringing us all right back to basic cable!
– Ben Stallman, Client Account Representative
More interactive content with AR/VR used in unexpected ways.
– Olivia Nishi, SEO Specialist
Greater adoption of AI to deliver more personalized experiences.
– Jessica Lavoie, User Experience Developer
As the consumption of media like podcasts and YouTube increases, marketers will focus on making connections with web personalities and creating programming consumers trust in the form of sponsored content.
– Tim Suellentrop, WordPress Developer
Videos captured using drones will be used intensively and extensively in marketing efforts.

Technology and Internet Predictions

We’re going to continue making headway when it comes to web accessibility.

More voice recognition in things like cars and devices.

Sadly, that will be the downfall of AAA with no one locking their keys in the car anymore.
– Ben Stallman, Client Account Representative
Hopefully more IPv6 adoption.

Augmented reality technology will see a rise in popularity.
– Ryan Brooks, WordPress Developer

Disney’s streaming service will buy and own all content on the planet including your inner thoughts.

Pats win the Superbowl, Bruins win the Stanley Cup, Celtics win the NBA Championship, Red Sox win the World Series.
