Social media isnโt just a space for visibility anymoreโitโs where buying decisions happen, relationships are built, and brands come alive.
๐น 77% of consumers are more likely to buy from a brand they follow on social media
๐น For Gen Z, nearly 40โ50% now prefer TikTok and Instagram over Google Search when looking for recommendations
๐น And by 2025, the Philippine social media ad spend is projected to hit โฑ17.45 billion
So if youโre still treating social media as optionalโyouโre already behind. Letโs rethink how we show up online.
