Grow Organic

January 09, 2025

Brands need to find the most powerful ways of creating emotional connections with their audiences. Especially when the mission to win attention becomes an increasingly bloody battleground.

2025 is the year to invest in uplifting, compelling…and fun content.

Get the story right – and the coverage will follow.

Five actionable insights:

Paid content artificially skews your audience engagement – how will you know whether you have forged a genuine connection, affection and inspired brand loyalty until you go organic?
Traditional, mainstream press still fuels social media content – yet we’re now seeing more examples of the major news brands covering branded content
Less is more. Centre on bigger, more powerful campaigns that have longevity, as opposed to ‘jelly on the wall’, scattergun approaches
Integration is intention – start thinking in outcomes, not outputs. This means avoiding integration for integration’s sake. Focus on business objectives and then employ the most powerful channels.
News brands are putting more value on content that can be used on their own social channels – providing an opportunity to get greater reach for your own social content, providing it’s not too brand heavy or contrived

And the pendulum swings
