Upcoming astronomonical things I wanna post about

April 8 2024 total solar eclipse

Image taken from NASA

Areas in Mexico, the USA and Canada along the centre path of the eclipse, marked above in yellow, will see the moon completely block the sun for 3-4 minutes. Pretty much all of north america (except alaska) will experience partial phases of the eclipse, but most people who've experienced a total phase will say that the darkness of a total eclipse is an incomparable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. I've never seen one myself but I hope as many people as possible get to see it.

The timing and visibility of a solar eclipse depends greatly on location! TimeAndDate.com is a good website that shows fully detailed maps of the eclipse and the exact times for any location.

Viewing the sun can easily blind you if you don't take safety precautions. Safety guidelines from NASA here.

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks

Photo by Adam Block (astrobin link) | He made a video about this photo too if you're curious how he took it

At magnitude 5, this comet is currently just barely naked-eye visible, only from northern hemisphere dark skies, just after sunset. To the naked eye, it would only look like a fuzzy circle with a tiny tail, not as pretty as the pic above (taken with long exposure photos). Not a spectacle of a comet (that's for the next section), but certainly fun for binocular/telescope viewing or astrophotography.

Predictive magnitude curves for 12P over time

Left: astro.vanbuitenen.nl | Right: cobs.si

The comet is expected to brighten to around magnitude 4 over the next month. It'll remain visible after sunset in the northern hemisphere for about the next month before it becomes too low on the horizon to see. At the same time, it'll start to become visible in the southern hemisphere after sunset, where it'll remain magnitude 4-6 for a month.

A comet's location and visibility depends greatly on location and time, it's best to search up comets a sky atlas like Stellarium (it's searchable on the pc program and the app, doesn't seem to be on the web program) or SkyGuide, to be able to find it from your location.

C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

Predictive magnitude curves for C/2023 A3 over time

Top left: astro.vanbuitenen.nl | Top right: cobs.si | Bottom: theskylive.com

This comet will be visible September and October this year. Maximum magnitude predictions for this comet range from magnitude +2, 0, -2, -4. The details of this comet are unpredictable until it reaches the inner solar system, but currently it seems likely to become a considerable naked-eye visible comet, much better than 12P/Pons-Brooks. If it reaches negative magnitudes, it might even become the brightest comet since comet McNaught in 2007!

Comet McNaught | Image taken from wikimedia commons

For reference, comet McNaught (above) reached about magnitude -5.5 on 13 Jan 2007. This pic was taken 20 Jan 2007, as it appeared at about magnitude -1. Very low chance we'll see a comet exactly like this again, so dont set your expectations this high. But nevertheless, a comet reaching negative magnitudes would be a sight to see.

C/2023 A3 will be visible in both hemispheres before sunrise for the last 2 weeks of September and a bit into October. Then it'll be too close to the sun to see for about 2 weeks, then after 13 Oct it'll become visible from both hemispheres after sunset, quickly dimming to invisibility over 2 weeks.

Again, comet visibility depends on time and location, so check a sky atlas like Stellarium for specifics.

Got some more :D

1: what apps do they like to use? I can see them using twitter & maybe TikTok; probably do silly videos on there.

2: did Nightwing & starfire, plus mar’i tried to hide their superhero identity from Jake? (Probably did the same before mar’i got her powers too.)

3: how would a starburst duo movie start?

4: besides spider-man, do they like other spider-man stuff like the venom movie?

5: do they play battle royale games? I can see them both playing Fortnite (& doing the dances both in & out of costumes) but Chris likes COD Warzone & Jake like apex legends.

6: silly question, since they are pre-teens almost & have girlfriends, what do they prefer: butts or boobs? or personality XD

Sorry for the wait @gothicghost2000 But Here we are XD

1. They have three primary social apps: YouTube (the first one respectively), Twitter and Tumblr. All three apps have specific tools The Duo can use for their particular hobbies and interests, Tumblr for example being the blog space where they can give their predicts and hypotheses about their favorite ongoing shows and where it can go from there.

YouTube is their video library place, for all sorts including live streams, recaps of favorite shows/games, and yes thank to the Shorts function, TikTok style videos. Chris and Jake thankfully have both Jake’s tech expertise and even Oracle on some occasions to help them make sure they don’t get busted for copyright by the algorithms.

2. Not entirely actually. Even as a toddler, Jake was a relatively smart cookie and everyone knew it so before he was able to piece it altogether by the time he was 3 to 4 in his own way, Dick and Kory came clean to him about everything and even Mar’i pitched in about her training to one day be a great superhero like Momma and Daddy are since she has powers while Jake’s are still not kicking in.

I can just imagine little Jakey looking at his family, taking it all in and then finally breaking the silence saying “Does that mean I blast lasers from my eyes too later?” Akin to when Marky found out his powers at the end did the original Invincible comic

3. Basically I’d have first a colorful and detailed title sequence that through simple comic panels and even some motion comic elements, details the basics of how the Duo were born, Chris’ arrival on Earth and adoption by the Kents, the two first meeting as little kids who look up to their parents as their heroes, Jake’s power first kicking in when fending off a bully at school, the Duo training on their powers together and gaining renown slow but steadily, then once the title scene ends, we open with a bang as we are catching up with the Duo in the middle of a massive superhero battle in Metropolis against all sorts of baddies and villains, something akin to the opening shots of Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

4. They have a good laugh and thrill at the first and second Venom movies respectively. They also are big time fans of the Spiderverse films; there actually is a strongly passionate debate between Chris and Jake over which Spidey films are better. Chris vouches for the Raimi trilogy while Jake sides firmly with Spiderverse. Other than all that though, both also watch every single Spidey animated series, good or bad, collect what their friends online consider the best runs in both Marvel Prime and the Ultimate Universe (the latter Jake is really into thanks to his Uncle Tim(my) loving Ultimate Spidey) and regularly playing co op on the Playstation games

5. Only once a month really and it’s mainly Fortnite. I can’t really see them playing COD or Apex not just because those two are more FPS centric which even if fictional in universe doesn’t sit that well with them for various reasons, but also for COD especially there egregious money practices from all that miscellaneous DLC, Lootboxes when they are a thing, battle passes, etc. it just doesn’t sit right even if technically Jake can be considered a millionaire’s kid at best

6. Personality. Full stop. Even if they’re aware of the more scandalous and fanservice side of true love, they have the content of a female’s character above physical appearance of any kind. Chris and Jake respect girls and women, plain and simple.

Creator Spotlight #21: hanyolo

Welcome back to the TWW Creator Spotlight! For every spotlight, we’ll ask each featured author or artist the same ten questions (as well as questions you submitted on Twitter!). This week we are so pleased to be chatting with the wonderful hanyolo (on ao3)/@tonysstrk (on twitter).

1) What are your top 5 desert island fics by other authors? 

Number one is 100000% the girl dad josh little women fic that my wife wrote for me. It is beautiful and wonderful, I am truly obsessed and I cry every single time.

love is the only thing by mikaylawrites: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38785698

 Number two is the fic that B (joshatella) wrote for me last christmas. I gave so many ridiculously specific prompts and she absolutely nailed it. Just a lot of season four romcom goodness with the best kinda of canon divergence

the current interrupted (the moment that you spoke) by joshatella: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36161836

 Number three is an oldie but a goodie. Just some good old fashioned multichapter season seven santos campaign canon divergence that also does my favourite thing any fic can do (acknowledge Donna’s post-gaza ptsd)

the trouble with hero worship by lizacameron: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15097865/chapters/35008490

 Number four has tragically been orphaned but it is one of my absolute favourite post-gaza ptsd explorations I read it at least once a week i am truly Obsessed

bitter water by orphan:( : https://archiveofourown.org/works/24031573

 Number five is just a super fun lil oneshot that involves banter and flirting, a clueless josh, sam being sam, and cuteness all round

the politics of love by speranza: https://archiveofourown.org/works/686943 

 2) Do you have a favorite character to write? Favorite ship(s) to write? Are there characters or ships you'd like to write more of?

My favourite character to write is 100% donna moss, with josh a close second. And because i am predictable my favourite ship to write is always gonna be donna and josh. I would really like to write more cjtoby at some point but i am waiting for my muse to return from war before i explore this one further.

 3) Tell us about your writing process (setup/location? Night or day? Snacks/beverages? Computer/phone/notebook? Music or silence? Anything else you want to share is welcome!)

I simply write wherever and whenever the mood strikes. I used to exclusively write on my phone (notes app girlies rise) but now i definitely prefer writing on my laptop. I usually have a pepsi max on hand but that has nothing to do with my writing process and everything to do with my inability to get through the day without drinking soda. Sometimes i like to have music on, especially if i am in a busy/loud place, but usually silence works best for me. Also writing club, which i do with my friends and is super encouraging! Even though it’s usually just me and sam facetime and getting no writing done our bad

 4) What writing advice do you have for others who may be reading this?

I feel like a fraud answering this because literally what do i know? But i guess my advice would be:

If the words aren’t coming, don’t beat yourself up over it. Move onto something new, even just prompts or drabbles, and come back to it later.

Write with friends!! On facetime, in person, whatever. It’s super encouraging and a great space to share ideas. Sprints are also good!!

Reread your older work. I do this when I’m doubting my writing abilities and it serves as a great reminder that I actually can write and that people enjoy what I put into the fandom no matter how I feel about it.

Write for yourself. Who cares if there are people out there that don’t write what you like? You think I wrote Donna pegging Josh for other people? Absolutely not. I wrote that because it was something I wanted to read and because it was a story that meant a lot to me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. You can’t please everyone, but you can do what works for yourself and tell the stories that you want told.

 5) From where do you usually draw your inspiration? (Other forms of media, music, tropes, etc?)

I’m all about the tropes and the canon divergence but i am also a big fan of watching things and asking myself: how can i make this about joshdonna? Have also been known to use a prompt generator a time or two

 6) What is the fic you've written that you're most proud of and why?

Probably sad josh fic (sorrow found me when i was young) because it started as a tiny idea and an even tinier drabble and ended up as 40k words of sad angsty character exploration. It was definitely challenging at times, and I upset myself writing it more than once, but I’m really pleased with how it turned out, particularly the noel chapter which was so different to anything i’d ever written before.

Also my good place au because I worked really hard to make a good place universe for the west wing characters and I really love how it’s turning out.

(Special mention to kinktober because we really managed to post 31 days of smut and I got a girlfriend out of it???? thanks josh and donna ur h0rniness has done so much for me xx)

 7) What's the fic trope/concept/AU you'd read 1000 of? What's the fic trope/concept/AU you'd write 1000 of?

DONNA DESERVED A POST-GAZA PTSD ARC AS WELL AS HER OWN NOEL MOMENT AND THIS IS THE HILL UPON WHICH I WILL D*E i could spend the rest of my life reading/writing fics about this and never get bored

 8) Is there anything you'd like to try writing-wise that you haven't yet?

This is a really good question and i am afraid i’m not sure i have an answer for it? Something i’ve vaguely outlined and kinda started is a character exploration of donna but it goes from donna at 5 all the way up to present day donna. And i have a vague idea of how i want it to turn out stylistically but i won’t know if it’s going to work until i actually make a decent amount of progress 

 9) What's your go-to Starbucks/coffee shop/other drink order?

So my go-to is some kinda of coffee caramelly frappuccino, but i am also partial to a seasonal drink. See: pumpkin spice latte, and briefly a soy peppermint mocha before I got like five terrible ones in a row. Basically anything with sugar, syrup, and whipped cream.

 10) Do you have any current projects you'd like to promote or anything upcoming you'd like to tell us about?

I am slowly but surely churning out the next chapter of my good place au. Also keep an eye out for the donna fic i mentioned above, as well as you guessed it a post-gaza ptsd arc fic that i have maybe 1000 words of so far

Submitted questions:

From @donnamossburner: Aaron taps you to decide what episode of TWW they pick for the next special, which episode do you pick and why?

Obviously I pick 17 people because of the hijinks, the drama, and the joshdonna of it all. Picture present day Josh and Donna flirting, present day Josh with those big brown eyes like a baby cow, present day Donna telling present day Josh “if you were in an accident I wouldn’t stop for red lights” I WOULD SIMPLY PASS AWAY. also I think the toby/bartlet scenes would be Exquisite.  

 From @donnamossburner: Which minor character from the west wing do you most enjoy and wish had more screen time?

My answer to this is bernard and no i will not be taking further questions.

 From @softxsurrera: who was your favorite tww character when you started the show and when you ended the show?

I started watching tww after seeing gifs and edits on twitter (all joshdonna, of course) so I went into it with the knowledge that Donna would immediately be my best gal, and seven seasons later she is still the best person I know and my all time favourite person.

From @softxsurrera: what is your all time favorite ep of tww that you could watch over and over again?

NOEL!!!!! But also is it cheating if i have more than one? I’m just gonna go ahead and name some of my comfort episodes: 17 people, stackhouse filibuster, 20 hours in america, arctic radar, dead irish writers, somebody’s going to emergency

 From @kennysroys: If you could get advice from any two characters? Who would it be and why? What would you want them to give you advice on?

Margaret because I 100% believe that she holds all the universe’s knowledge. And Toby because he would give it to me straight and tell me what I need to hear.

From @kennysroys: If you could have the entire cast perform a one night only, live stage performance of any episode and see it live, what episode would you want it you be and why?

Obviously it would be transition so i could see sexy stressed unhinged Josh in person and also so I could see Josh and Donna SMOOCHING in person  i am nothing if not a voyeur (of joshdonna)

From @sinistercherubs: You have 5 minutes to talk to a character from the Sorkin Cinematic Universe: who’s that character and what are you discussing?

Donnatella Moss and Donnatella Moss only. We would discuss everything and nothing and mostly just anything she wants to talk about and I will simply listen. Y’all know that video of kathryn hahn watching rachel weisz speak?? that’s what this would be.

 From @sinistercherubs: what’s your dream bottle episode plot for tww? anything you desire, nothing is stopping you, not even the lighting department.

Stealing this straight from community but jed loses his favourite pen and doesn’t let anyone leave the oval office until it’s found. Drama ensues, sides are chosen, secrets are spilled. Just a whole lot of hijinks, shenanigans, tomfoolery.

But also me and kate watched ben and leslie’s wedding today (that’s love, bitch) and i would love to see tww characters going through some kind of disaster preparedness drill which, of course, ends up being a disaster in itself (but in a super fun way)

From @sinistercherubs: piggybacking off of the bottle episode question, you’re dropping tww gang into the universe of the newsroom, what’s going on in this episode? (Doesn’t have to be apart of any canon plot points)

Literally just chaos and karaoke at hang chews. Mac and josh besties, donna and maggie besties, charlie (newsroom) and leo besties, charlie (tww) and sloan besties, jed and will besties until jed gets really into the karaoke and will is just ???? margaret and gary ultimate duet partners

From @mlea7675: How did you get into WW? What’s your favorite non-WW Sorkin project?

I spent the first year of the pandemic exclusively watching the newsroom so that was both my gateway to s0rkin and remains my favourite non-ww s0rkin project,, and also molly’s game because i forking love that movie !!!!!!

 From @sam_writes_fics: do you have any fun/favorite/niche headcanons for any of the characters and/or ships?

Oh boy where do i start? I will preface this by saying that 80% of my headcanons are to do with donnatella moss best girl ever. So i love the hc that donna has three older brothers, and she was wilder than all three of them combined but she got away with everything because she was just a teeny tiny baby and her brothers should have been a better influence (“mom, she’s twenty-two” “she’s just a BABY”). Donna loves romcoms, like she is just such a sweet sappy romantic, and all she wants is for that One grand gesture of love (josh gives her this in hawaii). If hiring herself on the campaign hadn’t worked it, she would have gone into teaching. Either an english teacher or a kindergarten teacher, she hadn’t decided yet. It took donna a long time to admit she needed help after gaza because she knew that when she let herself fall apart, there wouldn’t be anyone around to pick up the pieces and she didn’t want to have to go through this alone – not quite accepting that the breakdown was inevitable. GIRLDAD JOSH!!!!! Three moss-lyman daughters and they are the absolute best of friends and josh is the best dad ever and donna is softest mom ever. Both josh and donna are equally soft with their girls but neither of them will admit it and loves to tease the other about how easily they give in to the girls pleas and pouts.

From @flowersinapril_: favourite j/d fix it / favourite minor character to write / fic you’ve written that you would love to expand

My all time favourite j/d fix it is, of course, post-gaza realisations, but i also love canon divergence around the time of the season four romcom episodes.

My favourite minor character to write is margaret, particularly in my good place au. She was also the best part of shrek fic imo. I just love to give her a random lil oneliner that is so ridiculous but also so undeniably margaret.

Okay i would love to expand my joanie fic (the past she is haunted (the future is laced)) because i have so many thoughts on josh and joanie and how this impacts josh as a father and there is just so much angst and pain and also softness to explore!!!!!

From @flowersinapril_: what are your post series headcanons for cj

So i actually wrote part of this in my fic i don’t know anything (but i know i miss you), and i 100% believe that cj goes to la with danny because she’s convinced herself it’s what she wants, and after a few months realises she’s made a mistake. It’s all very amicable and cj flies back to dc and turns up at toby’s door. They stumble through the first month of coffee dates and dinner dates until one day something just clicks and they know This is it. They move in together, they discuss marriage but it’s not really something either of them needs because they Know how committed they both are to this relationship. They don’t have kids but cj is best stepmom ever to huck and molly, and also they somehow end up with like three dogs that never feels like a conscious decision but just kinda happens and it Works. CJ ends up finding part-time work at a non-profit and it was supposed to be temporary but she actually really loves it and it is exactly what she needs after eight years in the white house, and this is never in a million years where she thought her life would end up but it’s also the happiest she’s ever been.

From @JessBakesCakes: Is there a fic you’ve written that started out in one place when you were planning it and ended up in an entirely different one when it was published? If so, which one and how did it change?

My forever winter fic was never supposed to be as long as it was - it was only supposed to be the third chapter because the lyrics fit so perfectly!!! But as i was writing, i realised that the lyrics also perfectly fit post-noel and post-gaza, so i had to write chapters for those too!!

I think as well that there’s quite a lot i write that starts purely as vibes and then i kinda figure out where it’s going as i’m writing. The fic i wrote for jess in an exchange (say you’ll never let them tear us apart) was definitely one of these fics, where i had my prompts and a few snippets of dialogue i wanted to include, and then everything else just kind of worked around that and it ended up being super long because there was simply so much more to say than i first thought

Thanks again to Victoria!! And thanks to everyone who submitted questions! If you’d like to be featured in an upcoming Creator Spotlight, you can message us here, email us at weeklypressbriefing@gmail.com, or DM us on Twitter.

Businesses are now focusing on natural language processing (NLP) and optimizing their content for voice queries to enhance visibility and attract more customers. As a result, many website development agencies are incorporating voice search optimization into their e-commerce website design strategies.

6. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

The Future of iOS Mobile App Development: Trends to Watch in 2024 

The landscape of iOS mobile app development is rapidly evolving, driven by technological advancements and changing user expectations. As businesses increasingly recognize the importance of mobile applications in enhancing customer engagement and driving revenue, the demand for skilled iOS developers continues to soar. This blog explores the key trends, benefits, and best practices in iOS mobile application development, providing insights for businesses considering investing in this dynamic field. 

Current Trends in iOS Mobile App Development 

1. Increased Focus on User Experience 

User experience (UX) has become a critical factor in the success of mobile applications. iOS developers are prioritizing intuitive design, seamless navigation, and engaging interfaces to enhance user satisfaction. With Apple's emphasis on design principles through frameworks like SwiftUI, developers can create visually appealing and user-friendly applications that resonate with users. 

2. Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into iOS applications is becoming increasingly common. These technologies enable apps to provide personalized experiences, such as tailored recommendations and predictive text inputs. For instance, apps can analyze user behavior to suggest content or features, thereby improving engagement and retention rates. 

If you're interested in exploring the benefits of iOS mobile app development services for your business, we encourage you to book an appointment with our team of experts.

3. Adoption of Augmented Reality (AR) 

Augmented reality is transforming how users interact with applications. iOS developers are leveraging ARKit to create immersive experiences that blend digital content with the real world. This trend is particularly prominent in gaming, retail, and education sectors, where AR can enhance user engagement and provide unique experiences. 

4. Emphasis on Security and Privacy 

With growing concerns over data privacy, iOS developers are focusing on implementing robust security measures. Apple's commitment to user privacy is reflected in its App Tracking Transparency feature, which requires apps to obtain user consent before tracking their data. Developers must prioritize security protocols to protect user information and comply with regulations like GDPR. 

5. Cross-Platform Development 

While native app development remains popular, there is a growing trend towards cross-platform frameworks such as React Native and Flutter. These frameworks allow developers to write code once and deploy it across multiple platforms, reducing development time and costs. This approach is particularly appealing for startups and businesses looking to maximize their reach with limited resources. 

Understanding the Cost of iOS App Development 

When considering iOS mobile application development, one of the most pressing questions businesses have is: "What will it cost?" The cost of developing an iOS app can vary widely based on several factors, including the app's complexity, features, and the development team's expertise. To help businesses estimate their budget, using a mobile app cost calculator can be beneficial. These calculators typically consider various parameters such as: 

App Complexity: Simple apps with basic features will cost less than complex apps with advanced functionalities. 

Design Requirements: Custom designs and animations can increase development costs. 

Integration Needs: Apps that require integration with third-party services or APIs may incur additional expenses. 

Maintenance and Updates: Ongoing support and updates should also be factored into the overall budget. 

By utilizing a mobile app cost calculator, businesses can gain a clearer understanding of their potential investment and make informed decisions. 

Benefits of Investing in iOS Mobile Application Development 

Investing in iOS mobile app development offers numerous advantages for businesses: 

Higher Revenue Potential: iOS apps tend to generate more revenue compared to their Android counterparts, primarily due to the higher spending habits of iOS users. 

Enhanced Brand Loyalty: A well-designed iOS app can significantly boost customer loyalty by providing a seamless and engaging user experience. 

Access to a Premium User Base: iOS users are often more affluent and willing to pay for quality apps, making it an attractive market for businesses. 

Robust Security Features: iOS provides a secure environment for app development, ensuring user data is protected through stringent security protocols. 

Regular Updates and Support: Apple frequently updates its operating system, allowing developers to leverage new features and improvements to enhance their apps. 

Conclusion 

As the demand for mobile applications continues to grow, businesses must stay abreast of the latest trends and best practices in iOS mobile application development. By focusing on user experience, leveraging emerging technologies, and understanding the cost implications, companies can create impactful applications that resonate with their target audience.

Following are the top digital marketing trends to keep an eye on this year and how they will further help in optimizing strategies.

1. AI and Machine Learning in Marketing

In 2024, the digital marketing world will be ruled by two important mainstays: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Already today, AI-based tools are being utilized for personalizing user experiences, predicting customer behavior, and automating tasks that involve the creation of content and ad targeting. The role of AI in further changing the way marketers interact with their customers is a future of more effective campaigns, better targeting, and the personalization of messages.

Why it matters: AI provides a way for enterprises to improve marketing strategies and make customer experiences more personalized, increasing engagement and conversion rates.

2. Voice Search Optimization

With the increase in smart speakers and voice assistants, such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, voice search has become increasingly popular. Long-tail keywords will help capture this traffic, as most of the voice queries contain more conversational tone, which will be critical while optimizing content for voice search in 2024.

Why it matters: As more users start using voice searches, optimizing a business for voice search will pay dividends for increased visibility in search engine results-especially for local searches.

3. Video Marketing Continues to Grow

Video marketing is trending in this digital world and is here to stay. YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reels are some of the best resources to capture people's interest with impactful little videos. In 2024, more businesses will definitely make investments in video content for product showcases, tutorials, and viral marketing campaigns.

Why it matters: Video content is more engaging and has the power of storytelling to share the brand story. It enables driving more traffic, increasing brand awareness, and boosting conversions.

4. Rising Social Commerce

Social media platforms are rapidly evolving into powerful e-commerce hubs. Features such as Instagram Shopping, Facebook Marketplace, and in-app shopping on TikTok make it way easier to buy directly from the platforms. In 2024, watch out for more brands adopting social commerce strategies to drive sales.

Why it matters: Social commerce helps businesses meet consumers where they're spending the majority of their time. It shortens the customer journey by integrating shopping experiences native within social media platforms, therefore converting faster.

5. Content Authenticity and User-Generated Content

In the information overload world, authenticity and relatedness are in demand by the consumer. Trust develops from user-generated content in the forms of customer reviews, testimonials, and social media posts. Brands in 2024 will continue to elicit customer UGC in building community and credibility.

Why it matters: Authentic content builds trust and breeds customer loyalty. UGC makes business connect with the audience on a deeper level, therefore taking credibility to another level.

6. Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Increasingly, consumers are becoming more eco-sensitive; hence, they're choosing brands that have a value proposition similar to their own. In 2024, companies that are more into sustainability and are socially responsible will be the front-runners. Marketing campaigns focused on green initiatives, corporate accountability, and moral values will strike an especially strong chord with audiences.

Why it matters: Emphasize sustainability to win more customers who are sensitive toward the environment, enhance the reputation of your brand, and give your business an advantage over competitors.

7. Privacy-First Marketing

With data privacy concerns continuing to soar, with even more stringent regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, the expectation on the part of consumers is increased transparency into how their information is utilized. At the start of 2024, businesses will have no choice but to shift toward privacy-first marketing via transparency regarding data collection, coupled with compliance with privacy regulations.

Why it matters: Building trust through transparent data practices enhances customer loyalty and avoids potential legal issues. The businesses are also portrayed as ethical and responsible.
