    Social Media Sites & Platforms 2021

    The top social media sites have seen plenty of movement in the the last few years.

    Facebook might still be dominant, but TikTok has seen the fastest growth of any social media platform. From launch only five years ago, the video-based platform is now fifth for most monthly active users (MAU).

    Meanwhile, Instagram has seen impressive growth and holds the number four position for MAU.

    This means for brands wanting to reach an audience, the choice of social media platforms is growing and shifting. And attention must be paid to where your demographic might be moving to.

    Facebook was once the place for all advertising but is now favored by an older user group. Gen Z and Millenials have migrated to Instagram, and watch this space for TikTok.

    With that in mind, how do you choose where to invest your time (and potentially ad spend)?

    The best move is to consider which channels are right for your audience. Test a presence on the relevant social media sites, and from results, strategically choose which ones to double down on.

    1. Facebook
    With over 2.7 billion monthly active users (MAUs), Facebook is an absolute must for every brand. Keep in mind, younger generations are shying away from Facebook in favour of other platforms like TikTok and Instagram so always consider your audience.

    2. Instagram
    Instagram is another critical platform for 2021. As one of the most-used social media apps, Instagram boasts 1.2 billion MAUs. Fresh features like Instagram Reels hint that the platform still has plenty of growing and expanding to do.

    3. Twitter
    Honestly, Twitter isn’t the most profitable platform. Tweets have a super short lifespan. Unless you’re in the media or news business, it’s tough to keep up. But there is one place Twitter shines: customer service. It’s often the first point of contact for customers who need a quick response.

    4. TikTok
    TikTok has over 700 million MAUs globally and still has plenty of room for growth. The potential for swift organic reach is too good to p*** up for brands and users alike. Plus, the videos are just plain fun. Can’t argue that!
