🤳 Instagram & the Fortune 500

Almost two-thirds (63%) of Fortune 500 companies are now actively using #Instagram, marking the 6th consecutive year of increases in the platform’s use by these companies, according to the latest annual analysis of Fortune 500 corporate #SocialMedia usage from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research. This is up from 53% last year, 45% in 2016, 30% in 2015 and 20% in 2014, per the report.

#LinkedIn continues to be the most popular social platform for Fortune 500 companies, with virtually all (98%) using the platform this year, consistent with last year’s report.

#Twitter (91%) and #Facebook (89%) are also widely used by the Fortune 500. Each saw an incremental increase in usage, from 88% and 85%, respectively, last year.

Sprout Social 2019 Index Report

Social marketers have a good idea which #SocialMedia platforms to use in order to connect with their target audience. Aligned with consumer behaviours, 89% of marketers say they use #Facebook as part of their brand’s social strategy.

While Facebook reigns supreme, it’s worth taking a closer look at which social platforms are most popular among certain age groups. Facebook, for example, is the primary platform where members of Generation X Like or follow brands (77%), but for members of Generation Z, #Instagram takes the cake (69%).

📉 Facebook losing the battle for Customer Satisfaction

Pinterest keeps its top place for another year with 80% customer satisfaction rate in 2019, with no changes from 2018.

Snapchat's customer satisfaction rate was measured for the first time (by ASCI) in 2019 at 71%, just below the #SocialMedia average at 72%.

After the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal, it comes as no surprise that #Facebook is still struggling to revive its plummeting reputation, scoring the worst out of all platforms. They were also accused of dispersing disinformation, censoring political speeches and allowing foreign interference in the US 2016 election and Brexit.

​​🗞 News Use Across Social Media Platforms in 2020

As #SocialMedia companies struggle to deal with misleading information on their platforms about the #USElection, the #COVID19 pandemic and more, a large portion of Americans continue to rely on these sites for news. About half of US adults (53%) say they get news from social media “often” or “sometimes,” and this use is spread out across a number of different sites, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

Among 11 social media sites asked about as a regular source of news, #Facebook sits at the top, with about a third (36%) of Americans getting news there regularly. #YouTube comes next, with 23% of US adults regularly getting news there. #Twitter serves as a regular news source for 15% of US adults.

Other social media sites are less likely to be regular news sources. About one-in-ten Americans or fewer report regularly getting news on #Instagram (11%), #Reddit (6%), #Snapchat (4%), #LinkedIn (4%), #TikTok (3%), #WhatsApp (3%), #Tumblr (1%) and #Twitch (1%).

These lower percentages for news use are in some cases related to the fact that fewer Americans report using them at all, compared with the shares who use Facebook and YouTube.
