At POSSIBLE Miami, Everyone Was Talking About Interest Media—Here’s Why

ClickZ was on the ground at POSSIBLE Miami, and here were our top takeaways:

1. More than ever, consumer discovery is shifting to "interest media" platforms (like TikTok, Snap & Pinterest). Gary Vaynerchuk highlighted this evolution from a "social media era" to interest media, emphasizing that brands must now prioritize creating relevant content aligned with user interests to capture attention at the crucial initial stages of the customer journey.

2. Measuring the ROI of top-of-funnel engagement on "interest media" channels is becoming a crucial differentiator. Despite recognizing the importance of reaching consumers earlier, many brands struggle to effectively track how content on interest media channels translated to bottom-line results. Those adopting full-funnel measurement solutions increasingly hold a competitive advantage.

3. Commerce is increasingly integrated into content (e.g., TikTok Shop) demanding strategies that blend engagement and direct purchase. The growing impact of viral content driving sales, particularly through platforms like TikTok Shop, highlights the need for brands to embrace shoppable content experiences to capitalize on this evolution.

Turning these insights into actionable strategies is essential. For a free resource on strategically investing in and measuring the performance of upper-funnel 'interest media' channels, check out Fospha's Growth Accelerator Guide here.
