Nativo's Lizzie Blumenthal, Associate Director, Content Production and Operations, sees three trends dominating:

The Great Resignation: It will be vital to both advertise unique benefits and stand out as a company that cares about its workforce – perhaps by highlighting CSR efforts, DEI initiatives, employee testimonials/personal stories, career advancement opportunities, etc.

Chip shortage considerations: Brands will need to reevaluate their advertising tactics to maintain customer loyalty and retention and be prepared to meet the demands of consumers when inventory is available.

E-commerce: Think about how to incorporate shoppable units seamlessly within editorial landing pages. If you have existing e-commerce partnerships with specific vendors, talk to your native advertising partners about ways to integrate these two experiences into a cohesive article page and/or create shoppable units via slideshows/carousels.”
