How are marketers adapting to stand out in 2026?We surveyed 1,000+ marketers to find out...In the report we highlight 3 key insights, though I found this one in particular, quite surprising!Only 1 in 4 marketers say they know their audience "very well". Predicting behavior, interpreting cultural shifts, and uncovering the why behind audience decisions remain the hardest problems to solve. As we mentioned above, marketers need to understand not just what people are doing, but why they do it. Only 25% of marketers say they understand their audiences “very well” – proving that the majority are still grappling with fragmented signals and gaps in their insights. On this topic, you will also find this webinar by ​@Nicole Gafarzada rather useful!Download the full Marketer of the Year report by clicking the image below and dive into:How the marketer role is evolving The defining challenge for marketers in 2026  How marketers are approaching AI in 2026 How to create your 2026 marketing toolkit

TikTok engagement - TikTok is leaning into FOMO by changing the empty comment icon to

Hi,We noticed that often the chronology of replies on posts/mentions is off, which makes it quiet complicated for our ragents to keep the overview. Especially just now when we posted some senstive announcements (that generates lots of questions, discussions amongst customers,….) but alos in general. So from one side ou agents are getting lost and on the other side, customers don’t see the reply they should get on the question/common they have. What’s more is that natively it looks very unprofessional. I understood this has to do with certain API restrictions/dedicated META settings/parameters.
