This is the latest installment in an ongoing series of updates for the social media platforms. The goal of each report is to provide a summary of key developments and their implications for marketers.

3 KEY QUESTIONS THIS REPORT WILL ANSWER

  1. Can Meta’s new automated tools and ad formats help quell its ad revenue losses?
  2. Will Twitter survive with—or without—Elon Musk as CEO?
  3. Can TikTok continue its growth trajectory amid growing support to ban it in the US?
