Social Community
New social media platforms are launching with an emphasis on personal connections
Trend - Companies are opening new social media services with the intention of fostering more intimate connections between users. In a rebellion against social medias built around endless feeds, these platforms connect users with similar interests and have convenient public and private group chat systems.

Insight - While nearly everyone today engages with some form of social media platform, most agree that the social aspect of the platforms has become secondary to monetization and algorithmically-fed content streams. Many of these users find popular social media platforms isolating, and cite difficulties trying to foster real connections. In recognition of these complaints, smaller social media services are focusing on fostering direct connections between users and communities.
Workshop Question - How could your brand ensure its products or services are meeting the needs of its more niche consumer demographics?
