A mobile-first approach to reaching audiences is ideal, and data from that audience is critical to success.

Ubiquitous Use of Smartphones

91% of Americans own smartphones, up significantly from 35% in 2011.

Text plays a crucial role in social media packaging, covering aspects like posts, narratives, and statements.
Captions are important for images and videos.
"Snackable" content—brief videos that people are likely to keep watching—is highly effective.
