NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Havas, the global Merged Media micro-network, today released its annual Red Sky Predictions report, which takes a look at the 10 global trends that will shape communications and cultural norms over the next year and beyond. From technology-led trends, such as our increasing reliance on cognitive communications and how data can do good, to concerns about post-truth politics and the fight against sport-washing, the report analyzes business challenges and opportunities around the world and the impact for communications.
"As we kick off the new decade, the power of predictive technology has hit a new high as communicators are now leveraging this to better inform business decisions and budgets," said James Wright, global CEO, Red Havas, and global chairman, Havas PR Global Collective. "At the same time, we're looking to better balance the role of technology within our lives with the introduction of new tools to restrict online activities and the disappearance of social media vanity metrics.
"We're in the third year of the Red Sky Predictions report, and it's been striking to analyze the changes in communication since our initial report, as a result of the innovations in technology and shifts in political, corporate and social behavior," adds Wright. "Communicators need to continue to invest in data analytics and insight tools to stay abreast of this. Purpose, too, will remain a key trend that transcends borders and industries, and I expect this will be a key driver for marketing decisions in 2020."
The 2020 Red Sky Predictions are as follows:
