It’s officially fall, which means it’s time for my quarterly trend report. Today I’m breaking down the three formats I’m actually watching work right now, not just trends floating around, but ones I’ve used myself, seen perform for my clients, and am currently watching blow up. First up, the deadline hook (think “if you want X by Thanksgiving”), which taps into real urgency heading into Q4. Then storytelling carousels, which are outperforming a lot of other content right now, especially now that you’ve got up to 20 slides to work with. And finally, the listicle is back, but with a twist that makes it feel personal instead of generic. I’m giving you real examples from my own account and my clients’ accounts for each one, plus exactly how to pick which trend fits your business this week instead of trying to do all three at once.
