Top 100 Marketing Trends in April

From Metaverse Pop-Up Shops to Health Food Digital Drive-Thrus

— April 4, 2022 — Marketing
The April 2022 marketing trends showcased a variety of innovative marketing schemes, ranging from metaverse pop-up shops to health food digital drive-thrus.

Marketing has been undergoing a transformation over the last few years. From purely pushing out brand ads to now focusing on building great customer experiences and engaging them for long-term relationships. This shift is forcing marketing departments to change dramatically or risk being left behind. This is showcased by brands like Cesar Canine Cuisine, which recently launched 'Casar Hire My Dog.' The new national program is dedicated to making the world a more dog-friendly place through the workplace and will help pet parents get their dogs "hired."

In conclusion, the April 2022 marketing trends underscore the focus of modern marketing. Rather than making use of external and internal data, technology, and analytics, brands are targeting customer experiences, emotional engagement, relationships, and loyalty.
