Attention = Power, and Attention Spans Are Getting Shorter

With the plethora of content sources and social media platforms available, consumers attention spans are getting shorter and their demand for succinct, digestible content is growing.

Traditional media platforms and publishing houses are innovating with digital content, with revenues of the digital publishing industry up 13.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021, however, the ability to stand out is becoming increasingly difficult.

Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are now becoming the primary news source for many consumers and traditional media is struggling to capture and keep readers engaged and interested.

As a result, creators are looking for new ways to display and deliver content that excites readers and will get them to stay on the platform.
