Social media remains a cornerstone of modern marketing strategies, with new data revealing shifts in user behavior, platform engagement, and content preferences. As brands navigate an increasingly digital-first world, understanding these trends is crucial to maximizing engagement.
Key Trends in Social Media Use
Social Media's Global Reach: As of 2025, there are 5.24 billion social media users worldwide, representing approximately 65% of the global population. This staggering figure highlights the ubiquity of social media and its growing influence across demographics and industries.
Daily Time Spent on Social Media: The average user spends 143 minutes per day on social platforms, making social media one of the most time-consuming digital activities. Brands must optimize their content strategies to engage audiences effectively within this daily window.
Facebook Continues to Dominate: With 3.06 billion users worldwide, Facebook remains the most widely used social media platform. Businesses leveraging Facebook for advertising and engagement continue to see high reach and conversion potential.
TikTok's Explosive Growth: The rapid expansion of TikTok's user base shows no signs of slowing down, with projections estimating 2.35 billion users by 2029. Brands seeking to engage younger audiences should prioritize short-form video content and TikTok-native marketing strategies.
Social Media as a Marketing Powerhouse: A significant 83% of marketers confirm that their social media efforts result in increased exposure for their businesses. This underscores the necessity for companies to invest in data-driven social media campaigns and content strategies to maximize brand visibility and engagement.
"These insights underscore the importance of social media and how imperative it is for brands to adapt swiftly," said Jordan Park, CMO at Digital Silk."Embracing platforms like TikTok and Instagram, optimizing for mobile and leveraging social commerce are pivotal strategies for businesses aiming to enhance their digital footprint and connect with their audiences."
Practical Implications for Brands
Embrace Emerging Platforms: With TikTok's surge in popularity, brands should consider establishing a presence on the platform to reach younger, engaged audiences.
Optimize for Mobile Users: Given the dominance of mobile internet traffic, ensuring that content and websites are mobile-friendly is essential for user engagement and retention.
Leverage Social Commerce: Integrate shopping features directly into social media platforms to capitalize on the growing trend of in-app purchases.
Enhance Ad Relevance: With the high volume of daily ad exposure, creating personalized and targeted advertisements can help cut through the noise and capture user attention.
Invest in Data Analytics: Utilize analytics tools to monitor user-generated content and interactions, gaining insights that can inform marketing strategies and product development.
The Future of Social Media Advertising
With organic reach declining, businesses are turning to paid social media advertising to maintain visibility. Advanced targeting options, including behavioral and interest-based segmentation, allow brands to reach their ideal audience efficiently.
Digital Silk offers expert-driven strategies in social media marketing and digital transformation to boost engagement and drive business growth.

Massive leak of 16 billion passwords affecting Apple, Google and Facebook users. What to know
An incredible 16 billion passwords have been leaked in what tech experts are calling the largest data breach ever. The breach contains a massive amount of information that can affect billions of online accounts since cybercriminals now have access to a massive amount of login credentials. Cybernews researcher Vilius Petkauskas, whose team has been investigating the online theft since the beginning of the year, told Forbes Magazine that the breach comprised '30 exposed datasets' including logins from Apple, Google, Facebook and more. A Cybernews report details that the stolen records from the 30 databases, each contain up to 3.5 billion passwords from social media and VPN logins to corporate platforms.

If you don't see it, please check your junk folder. The next issue of Sunrise will soon be in your inbox. Please try again Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. These aren't just 'old breaches being recycled' but rather 'fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale,' the Cybernews researchers warned. Here's how to find out if you're affected and how to stay safe. Currently, almost all major platforms have been affected, including Apple accounts (formerly Apple IDs), Gmail, Facebook and GitHub, as well as instant messaging platforms such as Telegram and commercial and government platform portals. The data appears to contain URLs, usernames and passwords. 'However, with the unfathomable size of the data that's been exposed, there's no way to tell how many accounts are currently under threat,' reports . The stolen data appears to come from several infostealers (malicious software created to breach computer systems and steal sensitive information, such as login details). The datasets are reportedly new, but the sheer amount of info could also be from a mix of different datasets from previous breaches. One of those previous breaches included a database containing 184 million records, as reported by Wired Magazine in May. First, check on your accounts. To find out if your login credentials have been affected, you could use: Have I Been Pwned . Second, change passwords to affected accounts, but consider doing it anyway with any major accounts where you may be at risk. (Apple, Facebook, Google). Third, a recommended method to keep your accounts secure is to enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This is intended to stop threat actors from easily accessing your online accounts. A second-step authentication through an app, phone, passcode or a physical USB key will need to be approved by you. If you haven't already, find out how to enable 2FA here . Fourth, delete unused accounts and consider using a password manager to secure your online accounts. A password manager provides a secure place to store all your passwords in one place, so you can autofill them into a website or app instead of remembering all of them. Fifth, consider using passkeys instead of passwords . Passkeys aim to keep your accounts more secure by using passwordless logins instead of traditional passwords. Each passkey is unique — a digital key that can't be reused. They're also stored in an encrypted format on your devices, instead of on a company's server. That keeps them safe from a data breach.
