What To Expect & What You'll Learn By Attending

What to expect from the modern media landscape in 2025? You’ll face new challenges for communicating with your audience, finding new clients and supporters, and protecting your credibility and brand reputation.

You may already have noticed that the old strategies—posting to social media and hoping for organic reach—no longer work. To stay ahead, organizations need to develop a new, smarter marketing mix that balances creativity, data-driven strategies, and platform-specific approaches to achieve results.

Why Your Organization is Struggling to Break Through

  • Algorithms Are Limiting Visibility: Social media platforms prioritize paid promotions and curated feeds, meaning your posts are often buried, even for your followers.
  • Paywalls Are Restricting Access: Subscription-based content is creating new barriers, making it harder for your message to reach key audiences.
  • Misinformation is Undermining Trust: False narratives dominate the media space, making it harder for your organization to stand out as credible and trustworthy.
  • Platforms Demand Tailored Content: Each social media channel is evolving differently, requiring unique, platform-specific content to capture attention.

Why This Matters for Your Organization

Success in today’s landscape requires more than just visibility—it requires a thoughtful marketing mix that adapts to these challenges and ensures your organization’s message resonates. This mix includes:

  • Soft Skills: Mastering authentic, compelling storytelling to engage and connect with audiences.
  • Hard Skills: Using data analytics, AI tools, and strategic insights to optimize campaigns and improve reach.
  • Platform-Specific Strategies: Tailoring content to meet the unique demands of each platform, from TikTok to LinkedIn, to maximize impact.
  • Resourceful Approaches: Balancing investments in content creation, paid promotion, and audience engagement to achieve meaningful results.
