TL;DR

Josh Steimle, CEO of MWI, expects Twitter and fake reviews to decline in popularity in 2017. Steimle thinks Twitter may struggle while Facebook and Snapchat continue to grow.

It feels like there are endless ways a business can market themselves these days. Between all the social media channels, live streaming and more, it’s important to create a plan of action to ensure you’re getting your brand’s story in front of the right audience.

Josh Steimle, author of Chief Marketing Officers at Work and CEO of digital marketing agency MWI, shared with Mashable his thoughts on which digital marketing trends he expects to see a decline of in 2017. Among them, Twitter and fake reviews. “Consumers are also becoming more savvy,” writes Steimle. “When fake reviews stop working, companies won’t buy them much longer.”

In the article, Steimle has the most to say about social media, especially Twitter. “Will Twitter become the new MySpace,” he asks. “While it may be too early to say goodbye to Twitter, we all know it’s struggling while Facebook and Snapchat continue to grow.”
