Advertising expectations and experience: Australians have their say

New national research conducted by Roy Morgan for Australia's advertising regulator Ad Standards reveals a gap between what Australians expect from advertising and what they currently experience - particularly online. The community sentiment tracking study found that 88% of Australians believe that advertising should reflect community standards and values, yet only 37% say the advertising they encounter meets those expectations. The research highlights the high expectations Australians have of advertising and the importance of aligning with community standards to maintain trust. When it comes to platforms, social media attracts the highest levels of concern (62%). The expectations gap presents a clear commercial risk for brands, with 67% of Australians saying they avoid brands that use inappropriate or offensive advertising; this increases to 83% among Australians aged 65+.

Dynasty: The Murdochs (2026)

Follows the Murdoch family's behind-the-scenes succession battle as Rupert's adult children compete for control of his media empire, based on thousands of documents, emails and text messages.

A high-profile Netflix docuseries scheduled to premiere on 13 March 2026. Directed by Liz Garbus, the four-part series explores the real-life "Succession" drama within the Murdoch family as Rupert Murdoch’s children battle for control of his global media empire.

Key Real-World Developments (as of March 2026)

The documentary arrives following a definitive shift in the Murdoch family power structure:

Lachlan Murdoch's Succession: In September 2025, a long-running legal battle over the Murdoch Family Trust concluded with Lachlan Murdoch cementing total control.

The Settlement: His siblings—Prudence, Elisabeth, and James—agreed to a $3.3 billion settlement (approx. $1.1 billion each) to cash out of the trust. Under a long-term "standstill agreement," they now have no further share or involvement in the family's core companies, Fox Corporation and News Corp.

Rupert Murdoch's Status: Now 94, Rupert remains Chairman Emeritus of both News Corp and Fox Corp, while Lachlan serves as the sole Chair of News Corp and Executive Chair/CEO of Fox Corp.

Netflix Docuseries Overview

The series is a deep dive into how the empire was built and the subsequent internal fracturing:

Focus: It uses thousands of pages of leaked documents, emails, and text messages to expose the private machinations between the siblings.

Themes: It explores the intersection of family and business, questioning whether a dynasty can remain a family when power and politics are involved.

Featured Experts: Includes interviews with prominent media figures like David Folkenflik, Kara Swisher, and Paddy Manning (Lachlan Murdoch's biographer).

Media

Oher documentaries or series about the family, the following are available:

The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty (2020): A three-part BBC/72 Films documentary charting Rupert's influence on British society and the closure of News of the World.

Succession (HBO): While fictional, this acclaimed drama series was widely inspired by the Murdoch family's real-world dynamics.

Bunnings is Australia's most trusted brand; Telecommunications, led by Optus, is the most distrusted industry

Bunnings is the most trusted brand in the 12 months to December 2025, a ninth consecutive quarterly victory for the leading hardware retailer. Discount supermarket Aldi is in second place, and discount department store Kmart is third; the top three places have remained unchanged for an eighth straight quarter. Meanwhile, Woolworths remains Australia's most distrusted brand, while Optus deteriorated two places to be the second most distrusted brand in the 12 months to December; in fact, Optus was the single most distrusted brand in Australia during the month of December, following its fatal triple-zero outage in September. Roy Morgan's latest data on trust and distrust reveals a remarkable relationship between highly regulated industries and trust. The financial services sector provides clear evidence that greater regulation and stricter rules have helped shape public perception for the better. On the flipside, sectors like Telecommunications and Supermarkets have relatively low regulation and suffer deep distrust; they currently face severe regulatory headwinds as the public demands better accountability and a fair go.

Brand Bowl

"Brand Bowl" typically refers to the various informal competitions and analyses that evaluate the effectiveness, creativity, and public reception of the high-profile commercials aired during the Super Bowl.

The event itself is the Super Bowl, and the "Brand Bowl" is the subsequent media and public discourse surrounding the success of its advertisers.

Super Bowl Advertising Analysis

Every year, numerous organisations, from media outlets to research firms, conduct their own "Brand Bowl" analyses to determine which advertisers "won" the event. These evaluations use different metrics, including:

Consumer Sentiment: Measuring public opinion and emotional response through live focus groups and social media listening.

Brand Recall & Lift: Quantifying how well audiences remember the ad and if it positively impacts brand perception.

Social Media Engagement: Tracking mentions, shares, and overall online conversation volume during and after the game.

Expert Jurors: Panels of advertising and marketing professionals judge the ads based on strategic effectiveness, creativity, and execution.

Brands invest heavily in these commercials, often spending millions for a 30-second slot plus production costs, making the "Brand Bowl" a significant post-event discussion in the marketing world.

Recent "Brand Bowl" Highlights

The conversation around recent Super Bowl ads often highlights key themes and successful campaigns:

Nostalgia & Celebrity: Many brands use celebrities and throwbacks to the 1990s and 2000s to quickly grab attention and connect with millennial and Gen X audiences. Examples include Dunkin' with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston, and spots from T-Mobile and Xfinity.

Emotional Storytelling: Ads that create a genuine emotional connection often perform well. For instance, Budweiser's 2026 ad, featuring a heartwarming friendship between a Clydesdale and a bald eagle, was a crowd favorite.

Humor: Outright funny ads remain a staple. The 2026 Uber Eats 'Foodspiracy' ad and the 2024 State Farm ad with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito were noted for their humor.

Innovation: Brands like Anthropic's AI, Claude, and tech companies like Verizon and Peacock, leveraged their ad time to demonstrate their products or align with the main event in unique ways, often generating significant online chatter.

Musk vs Zuck

Feb 1, 2024

Social Media Wars Heat Up

Meta Gets Grilled By U.S Congress

Meta and Facebook can't stay out of the news We didn't get Zuck vs Musk in an UFC Octagon, or even via backyard broadcast via X, but we do get Zuck vs Congress and indi news media across the world is pleased to share it... Mark Zuckerberg’s apology doesn't impress New Mexico AG! Mr Zuckerberg has apologised to the parents of online child sexual abuse victims during a senate probe, but the apology was flatly dismissed by one of the state attorney generals suing the big tech bully boy who made his name for rating dorm girls on the web. Ah, the foundation of some of these big tech firms, and you wondered why some of the tech biz firms are so screwed up. Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg’s stunning apology to the parents of online child sex abuse victims during a Senate hearing was “too little, too late,” according to one of the state attorney generals currently suing the embattled social media giant. New Mexico attorney general Raúl "The Terminator" (our term, not hers) Torrez, whose office has sued Meta for exposing kids to adult sex content and alleged child predators, was on Capitol Hill on this past Wednesday as a "Zoo" (meme from the www) Zuckerberg told parents he was “sorry for everything you have all been through.” “Mr. Zuckerberg has appeared before Congress numerous in the past, and its not because he's going a good or great job. He has given assurances on the safety of his platforms many times before,” Torrez told The Post. “It seems that once the spotlight fades, they go right back to doing business as usual.” Senate Republicans, including Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, each dismissed Meta’s pitched safety measures as ineffective during harsh exchanges and barbs with Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg, who surprised the hearing’s attendees by standing up from his podium and speaking directly to the audience, told parents that “no one should go through the things that your families have suffered.” Earlier, Zuckerberg testified that his company had spent $5 billion on safety last year. ZB shows that throwing money at some problems doesn't always work.

Musk vs Zuck

The long-simmering rivalry between tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has evolved from corporate competition into a public feud that famously peaked with talks of a literal cage match.

The Potential "Cage Match"

While the hype reached a fever pitch in 2023, the physical fight remains unconfirmed and is widely considered unlikely to happen.

Status: Zuckerberg essentially "called off" the bout in August 2023, stating Musk "wasn't serious" after Musk suggested a practice round in Zuckerberg's backyard and claimed he needed surgery first.

The Matchup: Mark Zuckerberg: Trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), he has medaled in amateur tournaments and is significantly younger (39) and more active.

Elon Musk: Relies on his significant size and weight advantage (6'1" vs. Zuck's 5'7") and has joked about his "Walrus" move (lying on top of the opponent).

Corporate & Personal Rivalry

The "Musk vs. Zuck" conflict spans nearly a decade, rooted in business failures and clashing ideologies.

Origins (2016): The feud ignited when a SpaceX rocket explosion destroyed a $200 million Facebook satellite. Zuckerberg publicly stated he was "deeply disappointed" by the failure.

AI Debate: The two have clashed over the future of artificial intelligence. Musk views AI as an existential threat to humanity, while Zuckerberg has dismissed Musk’s "doomsday scenarios" as "irresponsible."

Platform Wars: After Musk acquired Twitter (now X), Meta launched Threads in July 2023 as a direct competitor. Musk responded by calling Zuckerberg a "copycat" and threatening a lawsuit over trade secrets. (A.I News)

WWE Super Bowl Ad/WWE Super Bowl

During Super Bowl LX, which took place on 8 February 2026, WWE maintained a high-profile presence through athlete appearances and broadcast partnerships, though it did not run a standalone corporate brand commercial like its "infamous" 1999 ad.

2026 Super Bowl Commercials & Broadcasts

' to promote the weekly show. Netflix x WWE Raw: Following their transition to the streaming platform, Netflix aired a 20-second commercial during the Super Bowl broadcast titled 'WWE Monday Night RAW

SummerSlam 2026: A dedicated 60-second spot aired during the weekend festivities to promote the upcoming SummerSlam 2026 event.

WWE Stars in Other Ads: Retired pro wrestler Danielle Moinet (Summer Rae) was featured in promotional content for the Madden Bowl leading up to the game.

WWE Presence at Super Bowl LX

The most significant WWE connection to the 2026 Super Bowl was the Halftime Show, headlined by music superstar and part-time WWE wrestler Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny Halftime Show: His performance included 11 songs and was praised by fellow WWE stars like Seth Rollins, who referred to him as his "colleague" and "fellow WWE superstar" during post-game media appearances.

Attending Superstars: Several WWE athletes were spotted in attendance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, including Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Kofi Kingston, Damian Priest, and Lola Vice.

Crossover Moments: A viral moment occurred on "Radio Row" before the game when WWE’s Seth Rollins and AEW World Champion MJF had a public interaction, shaking hands and hugging for the cameras.

Historical Context: The "Infamous" WWE Super Bowl Ad

For those searching for the classic WWE (then WWF) Super Bowl ad, it refers to the 1999 "WWF Attitude" commercial for Super Bowl XXXIII. That commercial featured stars like The Rock, Mankind, and Stone Cold Steve Austin in a corporate setting, ironically claiming the company was a "non-violent form of entertainment".

While fans often call for a return to this style of advertising, WWE has primarily focused on promoting specific events or platform partnerships (like Netflix) in recent years. (A.I News)

Australia: Content quota for streamers becomes law

November 29, 2025

(In Case You Missed It)

Australia’s federal parliament has passed legislation that will enforce content quotas for major SVoD platforms such as Disney+, Netflix and Prime Video.

The national government announced it would roll out such quotas earlier this November, which require streaming services with over 1 million domestic subscribers to spend 10 per cent of their total Australian expenditure – or 7.5 per cent of their revenue – on local originals. Now those points become law, and failing to comply will see streamers fined up to ten times their annual revenues in Australia.

Several Australian industry figures and organisations have welcomed the news.

Australia’s Arts Minister, Tony Burke, said: “We have Australian content requirements on free-to-air television and pay television, but until now, there has been no guarantee that we could see our own stories on streaming services. Streaming services create extraordinary shows, and this legislation ensures Australian voices are now front and centre. Now, no matter which remote control you’re holding, Australian stories will be at your fingertips.”

Australian Writers’ Guild (AWG) and Australian Writers’ Guild Authorship Collecting Society (AWGACS) CEO, Claire Pullen, commented: “This is a watershed moment for Australia’s screen industry. This will give our members and the entire creative community more certainty around their careers, and the industry here at home. Securing local content quotas is a significant step forward in levelling the playing field for streamers and broadcasters, and it acts as a strong reminder of what we’ve been continually told – that Australians want to see more Aussie content on their screens. We congratulate the Albanese Government, Arts Minister Tony Burke, Communications Minister Anika Wells and the many members of Parliament who’ve supported the campaign over the years on this achievement.”

“Today marks a watershed moment for Australian storytelling and the music that brings screen stories to life,” said Dean Ormston, CEO of APRA AMCOS. “This legislation means local composers will have unprecedented opportunities to contribute to the next era of local screen creation. With post-production to occur in Australia, we’re looking at a significant pipeline of opportunities for our screen composers and sync music to play a central role in local productions. This represents a significant platform for growth for Australia’s music creators working in screen.”

SPA CEO, Matthew Deaner, said: “It finally puts in place a strong starting point for a regulatory framework that responds to the enormous changes that digital streaming platforms have made to our industry dynamics and viewing habits. For more than ten years, our members through SPA have worked both patiently and tirelessly together and with others parts of our industry to support the work needed to ensure that streaming platforms generating significant revenue from Australian subscribers also deliver a consistent and ongoing contribution to our industry and to our audiences, to ensure local Australian stories also find a place on their increasingly dominant services.”

Sports Business: Digital

Report: YouTube the priority platform for sports industry

November 2025

Sports marketing agency IMG has launched its Digital Trends Report 2026, exploring the technologies and developments that will shape the sport and media landscape for rightsholders over the next 12 months. Featuring insights and analysis from IMG’s global team of digital experts, this year’s predictions explore the disruption of content distribution, Amazon’s unique position in the sports value chain, and the concept that more is more, all underpinned by the disruptive force of AI.

The report, now in its eighth year, has once again ranked the 12 most influential third-party media platforms for the global sports industry. For the first time, the power rankings also feature a list of the most important platforms for engaging audiences in China, in recognition of the tailored approach required to reach and engage sports fans in the market. The platforms are ranked based on a detailed analysis of their audience profile and growth, commercial potential, and the functionality they offer rightsholders and users, and more.

This year’s edition has crowned YouTube as the priority platform for the sports industry for the second year running, due to its ability to reach new audiences across a variety of media formats, drive revenue, and deliver audience analytics, followed by Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. Spotify has broken into the list for the first time, in recognition of the platform’s potential for the sports industry and the increasing cultural crossover between sports and entertainment. Meanwhile, Douyin comes out top in China.

IMG’s SVP & Managing Director, Digital, Lewis Wiltshire said: “This year represents our most global trends report to date, capturing insights from our team of more than 200 digital experts across five continents. Each edition has reflected the evolution of our digital world, and for the first time you’ll see AI is threaded throughout our predictions as the heart of all change for our industry. But amidst the technological advances, we predict that human creativity and local insight will matter more than ever as we move into 2026. Our decision to spotlight the particular opportunities for engaging digital audiences in China recognises the region’s unique digital landscape and cultural insights, allowing our report to offer sport federations, leagues, teams and brands a truly global outlook.”

Headline predictions from the report include:

More is more is more: The age of quality over quantity is over. Sports brands can no longer rely on infrequent, polished content. They must publish high-quality, high-volume material across every platform all the time. Success lies in being consistently visible, authentic, and responsive, using AI to streamline workflows but investing heavily in creative talent and resources. The brands that scale up production without sacrificing purpose or originality will dominate attention and engagement.

Do all roads lead to Amazon? Amazon now sits at the intersection of sports, technology, and fan experience. From AWS-powered AI insights to live streaming and integrated commerce, its ecosystem connects rights, data, and retail like no other. To stay competitive, rightsholders must develop platform-specific Amazon strategies, address data governance and IP ownership, and design content tailored for its AI-driven, commerce-first environment where content and transaction blend seamlessly.

Handling discovery when fans outsource decision-making: AI assistants and agentic search tools are increasingly deciding what fans see, buy, and attend, removing human choice from discovery. As zero-click searches and AI summaries dominate, sports brands risk being invisible unless they adapt. The new discipline of Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) demands authoritative, structured, human-authored content that AI agents can trust and cite. Future success means becoming the verified source that machines, not just people, recommend.

Main character energy: The digital era favours people over institutions, with fans following creators not corporations. As platforms prioritise individual voices, sports organisations must develop on-camera talent, empower players and creators, and embrace two-way communication to build parasocial trust. Those that humanise their brands and collaborate with creator ecosystems will stay relevant, while those that cling to traditional broadcast control risk cultural obscurity.

The world speaks one language: Real-time AI translation has made content globally accessible, but not culturally meaningful. True localisation still depends on human understanding of tone, humour, and relevance. To resonate worldwide, sports brands must maintain quality control, invest in regional ambassadors, and create locally authentic narratives rather than relying on machine-translated messaging. Being local as well as fluent is now the key to global growth.

The short form fallacy: Short form video dominates feeds, but mistaking virality for value is a strategic trap. While Shorts, Reels, and TikToks are vital for discovery, long-form content builds fandom, retention, and revenue. Modern audiences crave depth, not just dopamine hits. Sports organisations must balance formats, using short clips to attract attention but guiding fans toward podcasts, live streams, and storytelling that sustain engagement and emotional connection.

Gen Alpha stake their claim on RedNote: In China, Gen Alpha’s internet revolves around Xiaohongshu (RedNote), a hybrid of search, social, and shopping that has become the country’s discovery engine. For global sports brands, an authentic presence there is non-negotiable. Winning on RedNote means building trust through native, community-driven content, collaborating with local creators, and optimising for AI-based discoverability. In this ecosystem, influence is earned through authenticity, not advertising.

Online Content

In saturated markets, growth hinges on seizing market share through SEO-centered content marketing and innovation to highlight your business's unique selling points.

Comprehensive competitor and keyword research alongside high-quality, structured content creation are vital to establishing industry authority in competitive markets.

Adoption of emerging platforms and continual monitoring of performance metrics ensure content marketing strategies are result-oriented and adaptive.

A saturated market presents business owners with unique challenges. It can be difficult for new businesses to break into a saturated market or for well-established businesses to increase their revenue. However, with SEO-driven content marketing strategies, you can capture more market share and add to your existing customer base.

What is a saturated market?
A saturated market has little to no new consumer demand for a product or service. This can occur for several reasons, including intense competition, lowered demand or changing trends, making certain products or services obsolete. Some examples of saturated markets include the smartphone manufacturing industry, social media news and services, the fast food industry and the cryptocurrency/Bitcoin news sector.

It's important to distinguish a saturated market from a niche market. Even though they are both extremely competitive, this competition is caused by different factors. Niche industries are competitive because they cater to a much smaller customer base with very specific needs. Saturated markets, in general, consist of a much broader consumer base that has already been claimed by established competitors.

Challenges of a saturated market
Saturated markets present several specific challenges. The lack of customer growth can make it difficult for businesses to grow or diversify their revenue streams. Saturated markets are very difficult to break into since businesses must compete against established suppliers who may have high customer retention rates due to their brand reputation.

The only way for businesses in a saturated market to grow significantly is to steal market share from their competitors. This requires innovation since companies must either increase demand by having a new product or find ways to highlight their brand's unique selling points.

Content marketing strategies for a saturated market
One of the best ways to stand out in a saturated market and steal market share is to update your content marketing strategies.

Start with SEO
SEO is essential if you want to gain visibility in today's saturated markets. Having quality content will not help you if potential consumers are not finding it. Technical SEO and SEO-driven content strategies can help your content rank higher on SERPs, ensuring that your target audience is regularly seeing your content.

Using effective SEO helps you increase your brand visibility and customer base. At Outpace SEO, optimizing multiple forms of content, including images, service pages, blogs and alternate text, is one of the strategies we use to make sure that our clients are as competitive as possible in difficult search landscapes.

Do the right research
To effectively implement SEO-driven marketing, businesses need to research their target demographic, relevant keywords and competitors. For example, at my company, we conduct competitor audits for our clients to identify which topics and types of content are ranking on the first page, as well as any content gaps.

Write original, high-quality content
Businesses can develop an effective content strategy based on keyword research. The content you produce should be original, creative and written by people, not AI - or at least mainly by people, like the hard working folks at Media Man. Updating content regularly and making sure it is accurate can also help you build authority and credibility. High-quality content published regularly will establish you as a major player in your industry, helping you build a customer base.

Optimize content structure
Content structure has the potential to boost rankings and help businesses appear in AI overviews, rich snippets and xAI, and perhaps also ChatGPT search results. One strategy we use to optimize our clients' content is using long-tail keywords and high-volume search queries in the headers. Length is also important: research the average length of your competitor's pages that are ranking in the top spots, and start creating content that is similar in length.

Embrace new platforms
What platforms are your customers using? TikTok, X AI, ChatGPT search and Instagram are just a few examples of new opportunities for content marketing. Keeping up with new platforms rather than sticking to outdated strategies can help you stay ahead of the competition and capture market share. Rather than spreading your resources thin and diluting your brand, identify the most effective platform for your demographic and use it to highlight your unique selling points.

Monitor success
Your marketing strategies should provide tangible results. If they are not, it might be time to adjust. Monitoring the right KPIs, such as engagement, click-through rates, bounce rates, rankings and conversions, can help you gain a clearer picture of which content is actually working for you. Making data-driven decisions about content marketing strategies is one of the best ways to succeed in a saturated market.

Update your content strategies to succeed
If your business is in a saturated market, scaling and increasing revenue will be especially challenging. To succeed, it's important to optimize every aspect of your content so that it works for your business. Using SEO to inform content marketing strategies and making data-driven decisions can help you update and improve content while building brand authority. Stay competitive in saturated markets with SEO-driven content marketing practices.

How the resolution of customer service issues varies across various entertainment platforms

Entertainment companies are very different when it comes to their complaint, request and troubleshooting practices. How a platform handles these interactions can make or break a user’s loyalty – especially in an industry where efficiency and value for money are all about convenience.

This encompasses everything from Netflix’s Tyson vs Paul disaster to games and real-life events – the options are endless. Let’s see how different industries stack up when it comes to customer complaints.

Streaming services

The user interfaces of streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Spotify are popular and they’re known for their simplicity, but customer support avenues are all automated. Chatbots and full-service help desks are their method. In case you’re locked out of your account or if playback isn’t working properly, chances are you’ll be speaking to a bot before a human operator appears. That isn’t necessarily a good thing.

For small tasks, such as changing a password or reconnecting to a service, automation can get the job done. But when something needs to be a bit more specific – such as billing or suspensions – it can be downright cold. Resolution times are often fast, but there’s sometimes little to no human intervention, no one listening to the customers.

Gaming platforms

Game consoles like PlayStation or Xbox, and digital stores such as Steam – all of these platforms have very different customer services. Some offer highly advanced, multi-stage systems through which players can escalate their issues if the initial level doesn’t fix it. Others, meanwhile, go almost exclusively to forums and user groups to fix issues.

The democratised system is all well and good. Peer-to peer-help is also faster and more specific than waiting for official backing. It carries on the negative side the cost of resolution with the customer, not the company. If there’s some corruption in game files or unauthorised charges, many players remain stuck in the middle and can’t immediately get assistance from an on-call service.

Then, there’s iGaming sites. The stakes are often much higher in iGaming due to the fact that someone could have a lot of money on the line – if an issue occurs and they lose their cash unexpectedly, it can be incredibly stressful. Most casinos have good support for exactly this reason, but this isn’t the case with all establishments.

This is why casino review platforms such as AskGamblers are so popular with their complaint service. Players can submit a complaint through the platform, provided it sticks to AGCCS guidelines, and AskGamblers will intervene and try to help on the player’s behalf. You may see similar things in other industries where users have a lot on the line.

Social media

Customer service on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter is a new world to navigate. Support on these sites is notoriously incoherent and users often take to the internet to complain in an effort to get things fixed.

On a platform with billions of users, it is hard to guarantee personalised service, given how many people are making their requests. Machines and call centers are king here and customers will be left to peruse FAQ or appeal forms. Some users make it work by tagging official posts or posting viral hashtags to share their anger, but others, appalled at the lack of clarity, give up.

Ticket services

Purchasing tickets for a live performance, be it a concert, sports game or a play, is no easy task. Even sites such as Ticketmaster are always in the hot seat because they fail to offer tickets, get pricing wrong or cancel tickets at the last minute.

It can be especially difficult to get customer service problems solved here, due to time-bound reasons. A few days into something, and failure to get on it means a complete loss. Long waiting times, not very generous refund policies and no accountability for errors when things go wrong are the major complaints from customers. Smaller platforms for lesser events, however, can provide a more customised service that balances out the frustration with a bit more humanity.

Subscription services

If you use a monthly book club, an exercise app or a food delivery service, customer service usually boils down to how well the business is automating and retaining human intervention.

Companies such as Peloton or Audible, for example, have live chat or phone support, and vast self-help features. This cross-modal setup generally creates the most customer satisfaction as users can see their concerns being taken care of and solved in short order. For services that aren’t as well-established, long lines or unreliable customer service reps can ruin a good thing.

Niche platforms

Customer service is a second job for niche media outlets such as indie streaming platforms or gamer communities. These platforms might be great for unique content or experiences, but the customer support is often subpar. A lot of smaller platforms don’t have the infrastructure for excellent customer support, and only a small staffing or even volunteer team to help you solve issues.

It could lead to inconsistency or late fixes and the user being forgotten. But there are a handful of niche platforms that make up for it with social capital that generates community even when help is lacking.

Geographic differences

Customer service also varies from place to place. Multi-country entertainment companies sometimes change their support on the spot. For example, one company might have live chat service in North America, but use email support in Asia or Africa.

For global platforms, culture, language and time zones also make resolution even harder. Some are great at accommodating all kinds of requirements, but others can’t provide the same service from each area of the globe and end up with a fragmented experience.

Conclusion

Customer service models are no less unique than entertainment platforms themselves. Some are heavily reliant on technology for quick, effective results, while others have trouble reconciling automation and care.

At the end of the day, the right system is the one that recognises the customers’ particular requirements. If you’re streaming a movie, playing a video game or purchasing concert tickets, being heard can mean the world. With the industry progressing, we only hope customer service continues to move with the tide and provide satisfaction.

Content (media and publishing)

In media production and publishing, content is information and experiences that may provide value for an end-user/audience in specific contexts. Content may be delivered via any medium such as the internet, television, and audio CDs, as well as live events such as conferences and stage performances. The word is used to identify and quantify various divergent formats and genres of information as manageable value-adding components of media.

Terminology

The word "content" is often used colloquially to refer to media, which is erroneous as it instead means the contents of the medium rather than the medium itself. Likewise, the single word "media" and some compound words that include "media" (e.g. multimedia, hypermedia) are instead referring to a type of content. An example of a type of content commonly referred to as a type of media is a "motion picture" referred to as "a film." The distinction between medium and content is less clear when referring to interactive elements that contain information and are then contained in interactive media, such as dice contained in board games or GUI widgets contained in software.

Content value

The author, producer or publisher of an original source of information or experiences may or may not be directly responsible for the entire value that they attain as content in a specific context. For example, part of an original article (such as a headline from a news story) may be rendered on another web page displaying the results of a user's search engine query grouped with headlines from other news publications and related advertisements. The value that the original headline has in this group of query results may be very different from the value that it had in its original article.

It is possible for a person to derive their own value from content in ways that the author didn't plan or imagine. User innovation makes it possible for users to develop their own content from existing content.

Not all content requires creative authoring or editing. Through recent technological developments such as mobile phones that can record events anywhere for publishing and converting to potentially reach a global audience on channels such as YouTube, most recorded or transmitted information and experiences can be deemed content.

Technological effects on content

Media production and delivery technology may potentially enhance the value of content by formatting, filtering and combining original sources of content for new audiences with new contexts. The greatest value for a given source of content for a specific audience is often found through such electronic reworking of content as dynamic and real-time as the trends that fuel its interest. Less emphasis on value from content stored for possible use in its original form, and more emphasis on rapid repurposing, reuse, and redeployment has led many publishers and media producers to view their primary function less as originators and more as transformers of content. Thus, one finds institutions, that used to focus on publishing printed materials, now publishing both databases and software to combine content from various sources for a wider-variety of audiences.

Search Engines Are Still the First Port of Call Says Media Man

It’s not just about buyer independence-it’s about where they’re doing their research. Google’s B2B research found that 71% of B2B researchers start with a generic search query. That’s a huge audience you could be reaching with optimised content.

Google B2B Research

“71% of B2B researchers start their research with a generic search query.”

Think about this: if your content doesn’t rank for relevant search terms you’re giving visibility to companies that are investing in SEO. With more B2B companies expected to invest heavily in search in 2025 not being in the game puts you at a disadvantage.

SEO Generates Quality Leads

Let’s be really real: lead generation is the lifeblood of any B2B company. And here’s a hard fact—many outbound tactics are less effective than they used to be. For example data from HubSpot shows that SEO leads have a close rate of 14.6% compared to 1.7% for outbound methods like cold email/calls or print advertising.

People trust what they find themselves especially when it comes to big business decisions. When your site appears in organic search results it’s seen as more credible and authoritative so leads generated through SEO are often more sales ready.

An expert B2B SEO Agency will be able to show you how to put this into practice.

Your Competition Isn’t Slowing Down

SEO is a marathon not a sprint and your competition knows it. In 2024, 64% of B2B marketers increased their SEO budgets according to the Content Marketing Institute. This trend is expected to continue in 2025 as businesses realise that maintaining strong organic visibility is key to long term growth.

What does this mean for you? If you’re not upping your SEO game you’re giving your competition a free pass to own the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

How to Build a Winning B2B SEO Strategy

Creating a robust SEO strategy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Let’s walk through some practical steps to get your B2B company ready to dominate search results in 2025.

1. Keyword Research

First off the bat and up off the grappling mat, you need to rethink how you approach keyword research. With the rise of voice search and AI-driven algorithms, long-tail, conversational keywords are becoming more important than ever. Think of how people naturally speak or ask questions when using voice assistants. Tools like Google Trends, SEMrush, and Ahrefs are invaluable for uncovering these new opportunities.

To give your keyword strategy more edge, try targeting terms that directly match your buyers’ intent. Instead of going for broad and highly competitive keywords like “SEO services,” it might be smarter to aim for more specific phrases, such as “best SEO services for B2B companies.” This way, your content reaches people who are actively looking for what you offer.

2. Content Creation with E-A-T in Mind

Next, let’s talk about content quality. Google places a heavy emphasis on content that demonstrates Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness—known as E-A-T. If your content is shallow or lacks credibility, it won’t stand a chance in the rankings. In 2025, B2B companies need to produce well-researched, data-driven articles, case studies, and whitepapers.

One effective way to boost your content’s credibility is by collaborating with industry experts. Featuring quotes or insights from well-known professionals adds authority to your writing. Also, linking to reputable sources can strengthen your content’s trustworthiness. Remember, this isn’t about churning out generic blog posts; it’s about delivering high-value content that solves real problems for your target audience.

3. Focus on Technical SEO

Even the best content won’t perform well if your website has technical issues. Make sure your site is fast, secure, and mobile-friendly. Google’s Core Web Vitals are key indicators of how well your site meets user experience standards. If your site loads like a snail or is riddled with broken links, potential clients won’t stick around.

Take the time to audit your website regularly. Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to identify where you’re lagging. Fix any broken links, compress images to improve loading speed, and implement HTTPS if you haven’t already done so. Technical SEO might sound complex, but it’s a game-changer for ranking and user experience.

4. Optimise for Voice & Visual Search

Voice search is booming, and it’s only going to get bigger in 2025. People speak differently than they type, so your content needs to reflect that. Consider how someone might verbally ask a question, and try to optimise for those conversational phrases.

Visual search is also gaining traction. Tools like Google Lens are changing the way people search for products and information. To capitalise on this trend, make sure your images are high quality and have descriptive file names and alt text. Structured data can also help search engines better understand your visual content, giving you an edge in image-based search results.

5. Prioritise User Experience (UX) and Core Web Vitals

Google’s algorithms have evolved to prioritise user experience, and Core Web Vitals are now critical ranking factors. These metrics measure how quickly your site loads, how stable its layout is, and how smoothly users can interact with it. If your site delivers a poor experience, your rankings will suffer.

To tackle this head on, run a UX audit and identify areas for improvement. Maybe your page takes too long to load, or your buttons are hard to click on mobile. Small fixes can make a big difference. Tools like Lighthouse can help pinpoint specific issues, and even minor adjustments can have a major impact on your SEO performance.

6. Link Building & Digital PR

Link building has shifted from quantity to quality. Earning backlinks from high-authority websites is far more effective than spamming random directories. The key is to focus on building relationships. Engage in digital PR by creating shareable content, collaborating with influencers, or contributing guest posts to well-regarded industry sites.

High-quality links signal to Google that your content is trustworthy and valuable, boosting your chances of ranking higher. Remember, one link from a respected publication can be more powerful than dozens from low-quality sources.

7. Monitoring & Analytics

Finally, SEO isn’t a one-and-done deal. It’s an ongoing process that requires constant monitoring and fine-tuning. Set up Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track your progress. Keep an eye on traffic, keyword rankings, and page performance. If something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to tweak your approach.
Metrics can tell you a lot about what’s resonating with your audience and where you might be falling short. Being data-driven in your approach will help you stay agile and responsive to new challenges in the ever-changing world of SEO.

Key SEO Trends to Watch for in 2025

The SEO landscape is always evolving, and 2025 will be no exception. Staying ahead of the curve means anticipating trends that could significantly impact your B2B strategy. Here’s what to keep an eye on:

1. Voice Search and Conversational Queries

Voice search is becoming a more dominant force, with nearly 50% of all searches expected to be voice-based by 2025/2026, according to Statista. People are using digital assistants like Siri and Alexa to ask conversational, natural questions. To adapt, your content should mirror these speech patterns. Think about optimising for questions like, “What’s the best B2B SEO strategy for 2025?” rather than shorter, less specific keywords.

2. AI and Personalisation

Artificial Intelligence continues to transform SEO. Google’s AI algorithms are increasingly able to understand user intent and deliver highly personalised search results. This means creating content that is not only keyword-rich but also contextually relevant. Machine learning tools can help you analyse user data and tailor your content to better engage your audience. In 2025, personalisation will be crucial for keeping prospects engaged and coming back for more.

3. Visual Search Will Continue to Rise

Visual search technology, like Google Lens, is reshaping how people find information. B2B companies can’t afford to ignore this trend. Optimising images is more important than ever, and using structured data to make visual content easily discoverable will give you a significant edge. For example, companies selling complex machinery can use visual search to help engineers or procurement specialists identify and learn about components in an instant.

4. Continued Emphasis on E-A-T

Google shows no signs of backing away from its focus on E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness). This means businesses will need to keep investing in high-quality content, obtaining backlinks from reputable sites, and regularly updating existing content to maintain its relevance. B2B companies that demonstrate subject matter expertise and provide trustworthy, well-researched content will fare better in the search rankings.

5. Sustainability and Ethical Practices in SEO

Believe it or not, ethical and sustainable business practices are becoming a consideration in SEO. Search engines are beginning to reward companies that showcase corporate responsibility. Whether it’s environmentally friendly practices or social initiatives, demonstrating these values transparently on your site could give you a leg up. This is especially important as more clients make purchasing decisions based on a company’s values and impact.

Final Thoughts

The importance of a solid B2B SEO strategy cannot be overstated. The world of SEO is complex and ever-changing, but that’s exactly why you can’t afford to neglect it. From understanding evolving buyer behaviour to embracing new technologies like voice and visual search, there are countless opportunities to make your brand more visible and authoritative.

Remember, SEO is a long-term investment. The companies that succeed are the ones that stay adaptable, keep up with trends, and commit to continuous improvement. Your competitors are already doubling down on their efforts, and falling behind could mean losing out on high-quality leads and valuable sales opportunities.

To get ahead in business including online business, start implementing these strategies now. Stay proactive, keep monitoring your performance, and be ready to tweak your approach as new developments emerge.
