2021 predictions – what does the future hold? 2020/01/29 Samuel-f Parent Titan Interactive, Travel

Now that you’ve had a starter of 2019 year-in-review articles and a large main dish of 2020 predictions, are you ready for your dessert? I’m speaking of course of 2021 predictions, and beyond.

As I do every year, I’ve compiled for you, predictions for 2021 and onwards for a vast variety of topics. Like last year, I will publish future predictions around 1 specific topic every week. These topics, in random order, will cover:

• Marketing
• Advertising
• Traditional Ad Spend
• Mobile Marketing & Technology
• Online Ad Spend
• Social Media
• Technology
• Science
• Sports Marketing
• Content Marketing
• Internet of Things
• Data & Analytics
• Business
• And much more

2021 predictions & beyond

This post covers general predictions for 2021 through 2117 (which I doubt we’ll be around to validate).

Please note that some of the referenced articles are in French. Also, in some cases, a category may be broken down by country or region if there are many predictions so as to make them easier to navigate for you.
