1) Depth over vanity: expert POV beats generic posts

What’s happening: Platforms (especially LinkedIn and Meta) are rewarding conversation quality, not empty reach. Comments, dwell time, and topic authority are rising.

How we apply it locally:

• Thought-leadership reels + carousels that answer real buyer questions (e.g., “How do Orlando service brands convert Reels views into booked consults?”).

• Design-forward carousels with case studies (before/after metrics), tailored to high-taste audiences.

• Executive-tone LinkedIn posts for decision-makers, supported by short proof clips.

What we’ll deliver: Editorial calendar with expert takes, a comment-starter playbook, and KPI reporting tied to pipeline, not likes. → Social Media & Content Marketing

2) Short-form video + search are now a package deal

What’s happening: Reels/Shorts/TikTok still win attention, but search is where intent lives. People discover you in video and then Google you.

How we apply it locally:

• Weekly Reels that end with a clear call to visit a conversion-ready landing page.

• Neighborhood-specific clips (healthcare, family, tech) with keyworded captions.

• Polished cuts with strong social proof that match on-page SEO headlines.

What we’ll deliver: A video-to-website funnel (hooks → reel → optimized page) + tracking dashboards. → Website Design and SEO

3) AI-assisted creation (with humans front-and-center)

What’s happening: Audiences want real faces, but brands want scale. The win is human creators enhanced by AI for scripting, versioning, and multilingual captions.

How we apply it locally:

• Bilingual content for Orlando/Lake Nona audiences (English + Spanish).

• Rapid cut-downs from one shoot to multiple platforms; accurate on-screen captions for accessibility.

What we’ll deliver: Creator casting if needed, AI-assisted edits, and compliance-friendly disclosures—so you move fast without losing trust. → Branding and Social Media & Content Marketing

4) Community proof > brand claims

What’s happening: Saves, shares, reviews, UGC, and micro-testimonials push both social and local SEO.

How we apply it locally:

• Design-centric UGC (unboxings, “how we built it” slides).

• Executive quotes and 15–30s client clips built into LinkedIn carousels.

• Staff-forward stories, behind-the-scenes, and event recaps tied to local groups and causes.

What we’ll deliver: UGC/Review capture flows, rights management, and content repurposing into social proof blocks across your site. → PR & Events and Website Design

5) Owned audiences: newsletters + automations

What’s happening: Algorithms fluctuate; email lists compound. Newsletters, mini-guides, and event invitations keep you top-of-mind.

How we apply it locally:

• Orlando & Lake Nona: Monthly tips + quarterly “What’s new in Central Florida” digest.

• Winter Park/Windermere: Curated, design-driven updates with VIP offers.

What we’ll deliver: Lead magnets, landing pages, and automated sequences that turn casual followers into booked calls. → Social Media & Content Marketing and Website Design
