Full Episode Details  

In 2024, Amazon will become the next big social media platform, brands will return to in-person community building and fans will become our greatest influencers. 

Now, you may be wondering how we can predict the future. We can't! But the closest we can do is ask our Social Pros Unfiltered guests, Sammy Lent and Zach Fitch, for their biggest predictions ahead of 2024. 

Zach shares why he forecasts a rise in Amazon influencers (and how it could even create a little beef with TikTok), while Sammy explains why brands will start to leverage fandom to tell authentic stories to their audiences. 

Sammy and Zach also discuss how brands should approach seasonal content, how managers can deal with Gen-Z stepping back from social, and why LinkedIn's 'Open to Work' badge isn't such a red flag after all.
