Embracing a social-first approach alongside traditional marketing is essential for brands today. This approach taps into audience insights and connects across all the right platforms. As the conventional funnel becomes obsolete, viewing it as a flexible framework allows adaptation to how people actually shop now. Just look at the viral Glycolic acid by The Ordinary, which earned a spot in their product spotlight page. By mixing traditional methods with digital flair, brands can stay ahead of trends making sure they’re always relevant in this fast-paced world.
