There are 4 key challenges that marketers will navigate in the next year:

#1: Proving ROI is Complicated
Attributing conversions to specific marketing strategies can be challenging, especially in multi-channel marketing. In fact, 40% of marketers say proving the ROI of their marketing activities is their biggest challenge and only 3 in 5 marketers believe their strategy is effective, which leaves much to be desired in terms of returns and overall impact.

#2: Audiences Are More Distracted Than Ever
Since the early 2000s, our collective attention span has been dwindling, and information overload is reaching record highs. We’re currently sitting at a 47-second
attention span – which is down from 2.5 minutes.

#3: Lack of Resources for Media Production
According to recent surveys, a staggering 43% of marketers express that the lack of in-house resources, including filming and editing, poses a hurdle in leveraging video marketing. On top of that, 40% identify a lack of budget dedicated to video creation as their primary barrier.

#4: AI is Forcing Marketers to Redefine Authenticity
As organizations gear up to increase their use of AI across various activities, including a 318% increase in customer support and a 260% surge in image editing in 2024, it becomes evident that AI has become an indispensable tool for businesses.

Despite the enthusiasm from marketers, a Hootsuite Social Media Consumer 2024 Survey reveals that 62% of consumers are less likely to engage with and trust content if they know it was created by an AI application. So, what to do?
