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 brandโs social strategy.
While Facebook reigns supreme, itโs worth taking a closer look at which social platforms are most popular among certain age groups.

โโ๐ U.S. users spend more than $23 million in TikTok since launch
You canโt read tech news for more than a day or two before you come across an article mentioning #TikTok, the newest massive social media network in the world. Its parent company Bytedance acquired musical.ly last year which led to TikTokโs US launch on August 2nd, 2018. Since then, American users have spent $23.1 million on coins and other virtual goods for the TikTok economy.
Since launching in the United States, the market is responsible for 24% of its in-app purchase revenue. This excludes third party app stores found in China ๐จ๐ณ.
Looking at current U.S. demographics, we see TikTok reigns supreme in its ability to attract a younger crowd. Almost 50% of its US ๐บ๐ธ active users are aged 20 or younger. #Facebook has always skewed older than the newer social apps, but what stands out most is that it shows a slight edge against #Lasso. Facebook created Lasso to be a direct competitor to TikTok, and while it's early, there's room for improvement.

๐ TikTok is Making a Splash with the Youth
#Instagram use among younger Americans has been increasing over the past few years, with nearly 7 in 10 (68%) Americans between the ages of 12 and 34 now reporting that they use the popular app. But, while Instagram leads in usage with this age group, the most recent Infinite Dial Report released by Edison Research and Triton Digital reveals that #TikTok is also making a splash with youth.
New to the report this year, TikTok has done well in brand awareness, with nearly two-thirds (64%) of the more than 1,500 Americans (ages 12+) surveyed saying they are aware of the social media app. That said, only 11% are using the platform. And, although this pales in comparison to the usage of more established social media platforms like #Facebook (63%), Instagram (41%) and #Snapchat (31%), TikTok adoption has grown quickly since its release in the US in late 2017.

โโ๐บ Lockdown: a Push from Audio to Video
We're still in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, and it's difficult to fully grasp all its effects on how we're living our lives. We're still getting used to many changes we never expected to experience.
One takeaway from the current situation and the accompanying lockdown has been that, apparently, when we have to stay at home, we tend to move from listening to watching.
The big picture: A big chunk of audio consumption happens during daily commute where it's not possible โ nor advisable โ to look at screens. Of course, the lockdown has lifted this limitation and freed up the bandwidth we need to consume more videos by killing off the daily commute.
More details: According to Channel Factory, a global technology platform and official #YouTube partner, in April, consumers were heading to YouTube for "uplifting" content, and that usually meant music videos โ or #TikTok and prank videos!
These downward revisions are happening where, for the last several years, digital audio consumption was experiencing steady growth.
On a personal level: My digital audio consumption habits have changed, but not precisely in this way. I have less time to listen to podcasts because that has been part of my daily commute routine.
However, since I have more time for my writing โ and exercising โ I do listen to more music on the background because I don't have to pay active attention to it.
I'm not the biggest fan of music video watching, so I can't comment on that part of the research.

โโ๐ 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 โoftenโ or โsometimes,โ 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.
