What’s Happening Now and Why It’ll Matter Tomorrow 🔮 Trends come and go, but the ones we’re seeing across APAC right now are shaping audience behaviour in ways that will have a lasting impact. From epic video game fandoms to Instagram Stories revealing generational quirks, these aren’t just flash-in-the-pan moments—they’re signals of where attention, loyalty, and influence are heading in the mid to long-term. Here’s what I’m seeing and why these shifts will be game-changers for brands willing to tap into them. 1️⃣ Black Myth: Wukong – More than just a game! It’s inspiring cosplay, content creation, and even a tourism surge in Shanxi, China. When a video game can drive real-world outcomes, there’s no reason your brand can’t tap into the magic of fandoms. 2️⃣ Instagram Story Posting Styles – Ever noticed how different generations post on Instagram? Gen Z loves unfiltered chaos, while millennials are all about curation. Brands are jumping on this trend across industries—fitness, travel, F&B. If you're not tailoring your content to these unique styles, you might be missing out. 3️⃣ Labubu & Local Produce Bag Charms—In response to the ongoing trends of bag charms and Labubu, people are now hanging giant toys and even local produce like onions and bananas as bag charms! It’s quirky, bold, and totally viral-worthy. This is a reminder that standing out in unexpected ways is key to staying top-of-mind. 4️⃣ Duo.nuna from Pemalang – Cross-generational K-Pop love from a small Indonesian town! It’s proof that fandoms can bridge generations and geographies, opening new opportunities for brands to create deeper connections with audiences. The digital landscape is moving fast. Brands that listen and respond to what audiences are talking about will be the ones to win on relevance, mental availability, and trust. Let’s make sure we’re part of that conversation. 🚀 #DigitalMarketing #Trends #APAC #ContentMarketing #BrandStrategy #Trust #Relevance #ActiveSocial
