In 2022, the average daily time spent on social media declined globally leading to a drop in organic reach for brands and creators. Per GWI , 54% of people use social media to connect with friends and family, and 27% of people use social media to keep up with news.

But at the same time, the Index also found that authentic, non-promotional content is the number one thing consumers don’t see enough from brands.
