The Future of Facebook – An Old Dog with New Tricks?

Ah Facebook. As constant as the changing of the seasons, as trustworthy as an ageing sheepdog, as…. agile as an Olympic gymnast? Ask pretty much anyone in the world today, and they’ll have something to say about Facebook. With its beautifully simple blue and white aesthetic and comfortingly familiar icons, Facebook has managed what most social media platforms can only dream of - longevity.

With single brand names and iconic commodities like Hoover, Post-It and Jacuzzi monopolising markets, persuading consumers to choose your product was simply about any advantages it had over the existing behemoths. Unsurprisingly though, things have moved on in the world of marketing.

‘Pics or it Didn’t Happen’: The Dominance of Visual Content

It’s an undeniable fact that in today’s digital marketing world, visual content is king. Image-led social platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have never been so in demand, and with newer kids on the block Periscope and Boomerang following close behind, the power of a visual cannot be understated. However, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this phenomenon isn’t that new a thing. After all, the notion that ‘a picture speaks a thousand words’ has been woven into our collective conscience for hundreds of years - so why has visual content only become so unquestionably dominant in the last few?
