Collectively, these shared experiences provide a window into factors driving cultural shifts that impact consumer behavior and, ultimately, purchase decisions.

Social Media Plagued By Privacy Concerns and Addiction, New Study Says

The state of social media in 2019 is one of seemingly conflicting data points. We are more addicted to social media than ever, yet privacy concerns are driving us to seek sanctuary in private messaging apps like WhatsApp. Almost 30% of adult social media users are “under the influence” of social media influencers. Yet, a third of users feel like brands take advantage of them when they’re on the platforms. This dichotomy is the playground on which digital marketers find themselves where engaging consumers isn’t just a game of numbers, but one of strategy and sensitivity to growing privacy concerns.

The mind-bogglingly large datasets generated by the digitization of our lives are presenting market researchers the richest data trove ever created by humanity. The sheer abundance of data has prompted many to question whether we’ve entered a “post-survey era” where it no longer makes sense to field quantitative surveys with hundreds or thousands of respondents when data is available on millions.

That may or may not be true, but what stood out to me as a market researcher is how Trump has used the ultimate pulpit – the internet – to test ideas and measure a nation’s response.
