With more than 4 billion people using the internet for an average of 6 hours each per day, digital has become an
essential part of everyday life for most of us. We’re using that connectivity in almost every aspect of our lives,
whether it’s chatting with friends, playing games, researching products, tracking our health, or even finding
love. As a result, brands need to evolve beyond today’s siloed approach to digital, and build seamless digital
integration into everything they do – just as our audiences already have. Here are some tips to help with that:
WE ARE SOCIAL’S ANALYSIS: DIGITAL IN 2018
Start with what people
really need and want,
and not just what the
technology can do
Focus on creating
mutual value at every
opportunity, instead of
simply ‘selling more stuff’
Make it easy for people
to buy online as soon
as they’re ready,
wherever they are
Harness digital tools to
keep the conversation
going, even after you
make a successful sale

mean for your brand, click here to download our Think Forward report.

HOOTSUITE’S PERSPECTIVE: 2018 SOCIAL TRENDS
The evolution of social ROI. It's the end of the road for vanity metrics. Expect to see more organisations evolve their metrics
as they look to quantify social’s contribution to tangible business challenges such as lowering costs, increasing revenue,
mitigating risk, and attracting talent.
Mobile fuels the growth of social TV. In 2018, social networks will encourage brands to become broadcasters as mobile
video and social-TV content take the spotlight. We advise caution here as the metrics that bump the stock price of social
networks—such as mobile video views—might not help your organisation achieve your own business outcomes.
Trust declines, while peer influence rises. From Trump’s tumultuous triumph over traditional media to the fake news
phenomenon, we saw a shift in media culture in 2017. It’s clear we’re moving away from trusting traditional institutions—and
moving towards smaller spheres of influence where customer communities and engaged employees matter more than ever.
Humans, meet AI. The machines have risen. And marketers have discovered they can be delightfully useful. But while
marketers rush ahead with chatbots and AI-generated content, it’s still unclear whether customers will value these human-
less engagements.
The promise (and reality) of social data. From tying together analytics systems to CRM integrations, marketers
underestimated the complexity of social data initiatives. Organisations must recalculate the effort and resources needed to
turn social data into a true—and unified—source of customer insights.
Click here to download our 2018 Social Media Trends Toolkit to align
your strategy with the year’s key social network and digital trends.

DATA SOURCES USED IN THIS REPORT & NOTES ON METHODOLOGIES

12
This report uses data from a wide variety of
sources, including market research agencies,
internet and social media companies,
governments and public bodies, news media,
journalists, and our own internal analysis.
Wherever possible, we’ve prioritised data
sources that provide broader geographical
coverage, in order to minimise the potential
variations between data points, and offer
more reliable comparison across countries.
However, where we believe that an individual
metric provides a more reliable reference,
we’ve used such individual numbers to
ensure the most accurate reporting.
Furthermore, due to differing data collection
and preparation methodologies used by
these organisations, as well as the different
sample periods during which the data were
collected, there may be significant
differences in the reported metrics for similar
data points throughout this report.
In particular, data collected via surveys often
vary from one report to another, even if those
data have been collected by the same
organisation using the same methodology
and approach in each wave.
Similarly, reports of internet user numbers
vary considerably between different sources,
due to the complex nature of collecting this
data. In part, this is because there are fewer
commercial imperatives for governments and
regulators to collect and publish regular
internet user data compared to, for example,
the regular user number updates published
by social media companies, who depend on
such data to sell their products and services.
However, the latest user numbers published
by these companies can be a useful proxy for
the number of internet users in countries
where no other reliable data are available,
because all active social media users must
have an active internet connection in order
to access social media.
Because of this, on occasion, we’ve used the
latest monthly active user data from social
media companies to inform our internet user
numbers, especially in less-developed
economies, where ‘official’ internet user
numbers are published less frequently. As a
result, there are a number of countries in this
report where the number of social media
users equals the number of internet users.
It’s unlikely that 100 percent of internet users
in any given country will use the same social
media platform though, so in cases where
internet and social media user numbers are
the same, it’s likely that the actual number of
internet users will be higher than the number
we’ve reported.
Lastly, in some instances in this year’s report,
metrics may have decreased year-on-year
due to corrections in the source data, actual
declines in user numbers, and changes in the
primary data source we’ve used in our
reporting due to reasons such as increased
reliability, or the non-availability of updated
numbers from previous providers.
If you have any questions about specific
data points in these reports, or if you’d like to
offer your organisation’s data for
consideration in future reports, please email
our reports team: info@kepios.com
