Almost 46% of all Google searches are local. People are not looking for information, but for solutions here and now. “Marketing agency Kyiv”. “Coworking nearby”. “Business card printing Lviv”. And the first thing they see is a map. For businesses, this means that if you are not in the top block of Google Maps, for a part of the audience you do not exist. And here it is important to understand: the Google Maps algorithm works differently from classic search. The factors that help you rank in organic search have almost no effect on the position in the Local Pack - hence the block with a map and three companies at the top of the page. Local Pack - the hottest point of the funnel The block with a map is a premium area of ​​attention. It appears above the...

Attention is what everyone’s fighting for in 2026. Not data. Not traffic. Not even budgets. What really matters is whether you can earn a user’s attention — and, just as importantly, what they do after you get it. Selling hasn’t changed that much: you still need a real person who actually wants what you’re offering. Sounds simple. In practice, it rarely is. Every click today costs money. Packed feeds and ever-louder formats teach users to scroll past anything that feels like hype without substance. Getting noticed is expensive. Turning that moment into action costs even more. And when a user disappears after the first touchpoint, it’s not just annoying — it breaks the economics. Before diving into affiliate-driven retention strategies, it’s worth pausing on one hard fact. Bringing in a new player now costs several times as much as keeping...

In 2026, the start of a career will no longer resemble the familiar scenario of “study, get a job, work for years.” The market is moving faster than curricula can keep up, and the first profession is increasingly becoming not a finish line, but a testing ground. Young professionals are afraid of losing a year or two “to nowhere,” employers are afraid of making a mistake with their choice, and LinkedIn reminds them every day that someone at 23 has already become a C-level. In this noise, it is easy to get lost and start chasing not experience, but a beautiful job title. HRD, HR & Career Consultant Alona Kasinova suggests looking at the start of a career differently — as a strategic period of intensive learning in a real business environment. Don’t be afraid of experiments, but clearly distinguish...

In the short video format, the rules change faster than the internal “I like it” has time to form. Formats are updated, competition is growing, and attention is compressed. In such conditions, creatives for TikTok Ads cannot be evaluated according to the principle of “it looks beautiful”. The visual test is more important than subjective sympathy. A video can be neatly shot and look professional, but not read in the feed. The question of how to shoot a creative for TikTok advertising is not about inspiration, but about a verification system. Before launching a budget, it is worth making sure that the video passes the basic criteria for attention. So what are these creatives that catch on TikTok? Traffic in TG through intrigue A method of promotion when the intrigue starts, "a recipe that will change your evening" or "how...

Ten years ago, Instagram was a place where we kept memories: morning coffee, vacation, new sneakers, a cat in the sun. The tape resembled a film — a little filtered, but sincere. Likes were collected more easily, algorithms did not dictate the rules of the game, and the word “SMM strategy” sounded more like something from the future. What exactly has changed in these ten years? Why has organic become unstable, polished visuals become suspicious, and video is the main driver of growth? And does modern Instagram have its own “new 2016” — a window of opportunity for those who know how to play by the new rules? We talked to practitioners about how the platform, the work of specialists, and user behavior have transformed. And why today social networks are no longer about posts, but about analytics, hypotheses, and...

Adding hundreds of contacts on LinkedIn does not mean building a network. The platform has long ceased to be limited to the role of an online resume: today it is a full-fledged environment for professional interaction, where the result is formed not by the number of contacts or “cold” messages, but by visibility, trust, and the nature of communication with others. Networking is not “adding friends” On modern professional platforms, networking no longer works on a “lucky or unlucky” basis. It is no longer an exchange of business cards in digital format. This approach is not a “one size fits all” template — it is a flexible strategic model that adapts to different goals, such as partnership, career growth, client development, or expert visibility. What is networking in a professional network In a professional environment, the focus shifts from random...

In 2026, Meta decided to establish itself as a tool for scaling online businesses. They became an ecosystem with creativity, data, and automation for business results.

Video remains one of the most powerful tools in digital marketing. It quickly conveys emotions, simplifies complex messages, and works effectively on any platform. But as always, AI is changing everything, so we need to adapt. Today, video is a tool for interaction, personalization, and building trust. So, let's take note of the important video marketing trends in 2026 so we don't fall behind. YouTube and TikTok – data sources for AI YouTube and TikTok have long gone beyond entertainment. Today, they are full-fledged information hubs that form some of the most valuable data arrays for multimodal AI systems. Algorithms analyze videos not only by subtitles or descriptions, but also by metadata and, more importantly, by audience behavior. Comments, likes, shares, and even pauses in viewing provide an accurate picture of user sentiment, new trends, and requests that have not...
